Description

This eventful 2-3-day itinerary offers a unique journey through Belarus, allowing you to immerse yourself in its centuries-old history, courage and spiritual heritage.

The program combines 24 key locations, creating a multifaceted picture of the country.


The journey begins with a visit to the grandiose Stalin Line Memorial, a large–scale open-air complex where authentic pillboxes of the 1930s have been preserved and a huge exposition of military equipment is presented.

Then the route leads to places of remembrance, such as the Stalag-342 memorial in Molodechno, which commemorates the victims of the war, and the military cemetery in Desyatniki, which preserves the memory of the soldiers of the First World War.


The central part of the trip is dedicated to exploring the architectural gems and heritage of great families.

You will see majestic temples, each of which is unique: from the "Belarusian Notre Dame" in Gervyaty and the Baroque shrine in Budslav, which has the status of a Minor Basilica, to the austere Renaissance church in Smorgon and the elegant example of the Vilno Baroque in Boruny.


Traces of powerful magnate dynasties come to life in the ruins of the legendary Krevo Castle, where the famous union was signed, and in the restored Golshany Sapieha Castle, shrouded in myths. You will visit Oginsky's estate in Zalesye, known as "Northern Athens", where the author of the famous polonaise created.


The route also includes scientific heritage sites, such as the Struve Geodetic Arc point under UNESCO protection, and authentic ethnographic corners – the Zabrodye museum village with its museum of the First World War and the Nanosy ethnocomplex on the shore of Lake Naroch.


This trip is an ideal way to get to know the main sights of Belarus in a short time, experience its tragic and great history and appreciate the richness of the cultural landscape.
