Belarus

Series details

£14.99

Belarus is perhaps the most inaccessible, unknown and misunderstood country in Europe. Bradt's guide - the first to focus on the Republic of Belarus - therefore offers a rare opportunity to study a country and its people as they really are, before the rest of the world catches on.

Anyone with an interest in history and sociology will be fascinated by the continuation of traditional rural pastimes and industries; there are also vast areas of marshes, lakes and rivers, which are of particular appeal to ecologists and environmentalists.

The first dedicated English-language guide to Belarus, it has in-depth coverage of the capital Minsk, with its wide range of museums, parklands, churches, shops and historical sites - Exploration of the fascinating UNESCO World Heritage sites including Niasvizh Castle and the Struve Geodetic Arc

About this series:

Straightforward information is given for all aspects of independent travel in a region, with discerning advice on places to stay and eat. Clear, simple town plans and other sketch maps are included.

As Michael Palin says:

"Bradt Guides are expertly written and longer on local details than any others"
