Minsk City Tour

---

Many of us new teachers took the city tour on a double decker bus. We traveled many of the main roads and saw many sights while listening to the audio on headphones. I especially enjoyed the propaganda included with each description. I have included some of the photos to give a glimpse of this amazing city. Most of the city was destroyed during WWII so most of the construction is post-war with five stories high being the maximum during that period. With the wide streets, including super wide sidewalks, it makes for a very pedestrian friendly city.

Getting to the tour bus
Getting to the tour bus was an excursion itself, involving a city bus, tram, and walking.

The Circus
Circus is big in eastern Europe. Minsk hosts four circuses each year and have a permanent facility

We were quite a sight
Everyone seemed to be looking at the double-decker bus. It is a new sight in the city.

Green Spaces
The city has many green spaces, especially along the river that runs throughout the city. It is primarily man made.
