Shopping mall
Shopping
Galileo Mall, a modern shopping and entertainment complex, has been open since 2013. Located near the metropolitan railway station in Minsk, it offers over 70 local and international brand stores, a contemporary cinema with multiple halls, virtual reality gaming clubs, and an entertainment center for children. The mall is conveniently situated next to the city's railway station and bus terminal. Visitors can enjoy affordable shopping at various local shops alongside popular global brands.
Belarusian cuisine is a delightful experience that showcases the rich cultural heritage of the country. The flavors are hearty and comforting, often featuring locally sourced ingredients. Dishes like draniki (potato pancakes) are a must-try, perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, usually served with a dollop of sour cream. The traditional borscht, a beet soup, is another highlight, bursting with flavor and often accompanied by a slice of rye bread. I also enjoyed the savory machanka, a meat stew that pairs wonderfully with pancakes or dumplings. Desserts like honey cake and kvass provide a sweet finish to the meal. Overall, Belarusian cuisine is not just about food; it’s about warmth, tradition, and the joy of sharing a meal with loved ones. Each bite tells a story, making it an unforgettable culinary journey. I highly recommend visiting the restaurant "Vasylki" for an authentic taste of Belarusian cuisine. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal with family or friends. The menu features a wide variety of traditional dishes, and the quality of the food is exceptional. Be sure to try their famous draniki and the rich, flavorful borscht. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help you choose the best dishes to suit your taste. Additionally, the restaurant often showcases local ingredients, which adds to the authenticity of the dining experience. Overall, "Vasylki" is a fantastic place to immerse yourself in the delicious flavors of Belarusian culinary traditions. Don't miss the opportunity to visit!

I love this Mall! There are a lot of good shops with clothes, food, electronics. There are McDonald’s on the first floor and Mi Store. On the other floors free restrooms, good movie theaters and also a free parking for the visitors of the cinema. In other way you have to pay for the parking slot.

We come here everyday to Konkors Food Mall. We spend close to 3000 BYN per month in the restaurants here and I was attacked today by a security guard. Very impolite. He was thinking I was not buying anything because I was waiting for another person and he saw me eating a snack. He had to shut up when he saw that I had a beeper from one of the restaurants.

The location is perfect for travellers to shop - it's just stone throw from railway station and it's the same building of bus station. You can find there some nice cafes to have a good meal (including Belarusian traditional cuisine) or visit food court and choose from a big variety of various snacks presented there. Wifi is available.

Park
Park Horkaha, located in Minsk near the Park Chelyuskintsev metro station, is a serene oasis dedicated to Belarusian writers Yanka Kupala and Yakub Kolas. The park offers scenic landscapes, a tranquil lake with fountains, and sculptures honoring cultural icons. It features sports and recreation facilities including an ice rink and open-air theater, making it a popular spot for leisurely pursuits.
Great huge park with attractions for the little ones. It's super tidy and clean and very pleasant to walk through day or night.
Maximiliano S — Google review
It would be a mixed review based on feelings and emotions and real facts about this amusement park. First, it’s a very old vista point and amusement park, built far in USSR times, that’s why it can look and feel outdated and like it needs to be renovated. It’s true, but... it can make you feel as a small boy or girl and remember when you visited such parks long time ago (I mean people who are 30+ old :)). It has great park of trees and plants and you can just walk and relax, it’s not a place to try modern roller coasters but it’s a place just to relax without any obligations :)

Nice and peaceful park in the very heart of Minsk. Consist of two areas -- amusements for kids and adults (quite old and poor, I must admit) and green walking area which is lovely. There's a lot of fast food points here and there, but they are not bright is terms of service and quality.

Department store
Electronics store
Na Nemige is a modernist shopping center located near the church, offering a throwback to the 1980s with its main department store. The trading house was established in the early 1990s and has become one of the most popular shopping destinations in Minsk. It features departments for clothing, shoes, jewelry, accessories, cosmetics, perfumery, household appliances, and a supermarket. Visitors can also enjoy cafes and eateries at Svabody Square nearby.
This is the shopping centre you need to come if you want to buy typical Belorusian items. We have visited a few other shipping centres but globalisation has reached Belorus and you will find exactly the same things and shops you can find in any other place in Europe. Na Nemige still keeps the spirit of past times and is full of items from Belorusian manufacturers. If you like Belorusian typical colours, clothes and other items come here

It was such an amazing rainy day when I was spending my time inside, I ate freshly-prepared donuts and waffles , I had bought some desserts, coffee , cocoa , perfumes and souvenirs , all of them were fairly good in price and quality , this mall has also a variety of household appliances.
Mustafa M — Google review
When I was a child going there was amazing, but a visit I paid in March left me quite sour : what used to be a rich toy store filled with all sorts of Lego sets and toys for any taste is now barren land, the sales people couldnt care less about you and wouldnt even greet you, and dedicated their time to gossip instead of helping customers. Soviet architecture might throw foreigners off, but for me it was a very familiar mall with. sadly, still no bathrooms or AC. I cannot recommend Nemiga mall to anyone, as there is simply nothing to see or buy there, you're better off visiting GUM mall for shopping as well as architecture.
Val B — Google review
Ugly building built on the site of cosy old Niamiha housings, that could have been properly reconstructed. Horrendously outdated format of shopping centre reminding more a slightly evolved Kamarouka/Zhdanovichy bazaar from 1990s than anything modern. Low light, tight space, shops are tiny ugly glass boxes. Better do not support it with your money.

Absolutely useless use of the space in the very center of the town, no air conditioning, so it’s very very hot at summers. Services like in the USSR, the regional in the elevator and no easy access for disabled people.

GUM

(11070)
Department store
GUM Department Store, established in 1951, is a significant landmark in Minsk. The building's Soviet Realist architecture makes it a popular spot for tourists and film shoots. This four-story department store offers a wide range of products including clothing, footwear, cosmetics, souvenirs, and household appliances. While strolling along the boulevard where GUM is located, visitors can also admire other notable buildings such as the Post Office and the headquarters of the KGB.
Five star as a tourist experience; shopping is probably a 2 ⭐. It is a real step back to the old days with lots of merchandise behind counters and unsmiling help. Still great to look around, with lots of souvenirs in a couple of spots and lady that sells bulk nuts and other delicacies from what looks like a ticket booth. The inside looks like it did years ago, with wide sweeping stairs to the upper floors and early 20th century decorations; worth a visit.

Universal department store "GUM" (ГУМ) in traditional regional style. Sister department store "ZUM" (ЦУМ) is located 2 kilometers north on the same main street. Both department stores are very popular with tourists. + traditional full assortment + historical architecture + friendly staff + good sales culture - slightly higher prices - no lift

This simply cannot be that GUM of Minks. The store is very very dated. It departments are broken into small area that sells everything that you would expect to find in the market rather then big department store in the city centre. Has two cafe, that I would never recommend going to. It might serve good food, I would not know , but the interior and design keeps you from even walking there. Not a plus for Minks, which apart from this place managed to win my heart.
Lady L — Google review
A centrally located all-in-one store offers a decent variety of goods and services. One of the best places in Minsk to find souvenirs at any price range. There is also a small grocery section on the first floor in case you are thirsty (mostly because they offer only snacks). Staff is helpful but mind that many will not understand any language other than Russian.
Yuri P — Google review
You can find absolutely anything here, from toothpicks to clothes. It’s located in the center of the city just by the metro station, really convenient. It’s probably the most famous department store in Minsk, because it’s always crowded, which makes the shopping hard, sometimes unpleasant. Long queues also don’t help if you’re in a hurry. But, oh well, I guess you would expect it from a store with that kind of reputation.
Angelina M — Google review
A rather rusty dusty looking place. It was built in Soviet era to offer a posh shopping experience as understood by the Communist party, but unlike similar malls in other parts of the dismantled empire, didn't age well. It has been inadequately maintained by the degrading regime of the last decades, hence instead of being a living museum of post-ww2 architecture, looks like a cheap plastic toy from a Christmas cracker.

Fast food restaurant
When you think of fast food, McDonald's is likely one of the first names that comes to mind. This iconic chain has been serving up delicious burgers and crispy fries for years, and its location in Minsk stands out for several reasons. Not only does it boast a stunning architectural design, making it one of the most beautiful McDonald's you'll ever encounter, but it also offers impressively quick service—food arrives at your table in about a minute!
Great that they bring food to you. Very popular amongst the locals. Fast service from the terminal to your table , one downside- sometimes it gets a bit cluttered on the tables due to the huge amount of customers per hour.

All McDonald's restaurants are very similar, but I would like to highlight from this one how fast they were serving our food... Around one minute. Nice staff and usual food. People in Belarus tend to be very quiet and that's another big different with McDonald's restaurants in other countries.

$$$$expensive
Cafe
This popular American chain cafe has a festive and friendly atmosphere which is perfect for some good food and drinks. The menu features all your favourites, such as burgers and fries, but it can be quite pricey. They do have a great selection of beers and cocktails, though. In the summer they have a lovely terrace to enjoy the warm weather, while in autumn their cozy interior is perfect for cozying up with friends.
After my visit at TGI Fridays I can honestly say the service was amazing. I had two servers that were taking care of me. A young lady and a young gentleman were handling the table. They were very polite and made sure I had everything needed to enjoy my stay. The restaurant was not busy at my time of attendance but none the less they did an amazing job. I ordered a classic cheeseburger which came out within decent time and was very fresh. It was tasty and just enough to satisfy my appetite. I would definitely recommend this place if you want a little bit of Americana and a quick bite to eat. For more interesting reviews and places to visit check out @ricklemoinevip

Definitely overpriced, but still delicious. Enjoyed every piece of burgers we’ve tried, drinks were also tasty. The service is great, our waiter was one of the friendliest. Service is on point. The interior is cozy and they have a summer terrace which is still standing during the last warm days of autumn - that’s pleasant. Would come again for a filling meal with friends.

Tl;dr: nowhere near the Friday's standard. You are better off going to sleep hungry. Good staff. Horrible low quality food. Our waiter дима was a nice guy. Waiting time was not horrible but not perfect and that's fine. The food on the other hand was really really bad. I came in a group of 7 people and not a single person of us enjoyed their meal. We ordered a total of 9 main courses and 5 appetizers and 1 salad. And nothing was good. Most of the food was edible at best. First thing served was the chicken burgers that were advertised with onion rings which were missing. The bread was stale. The chicken did not taste good Then some other sandwiches/burgers arrived. Similar issues. Then the mozarilla chees sticks came. Those were genuinely weird. The batter/bread crumbs barely covered 50% of each piece. You can see through to the cheese. Which was soft as it is supposed to be, but weirdly cold. Not even warm. Plainly cold. After that we received the beef tacos. Only one of the two was eaten. Not delicious. Then we received the onion rings. Because we were 7 people we ordered two orders of onion rings so it becomes easier to have two plates across the table. The two orders came in one plate. Why? Idk. We couldn't finish it. Honestly the worst onion rings i remember having in my life. Same issue with the batter. Talking about the issue with the batter with the onion rings we received the buffalo chicken strips. The seasoning was good. But this time this one did not even come covered with any bread crumbs. At all. Nothing. We also had the chicken wings platter for around 45 rubles that comes i four different sauces. The sauces were nice. But the chicken was nowhere near the description of being crispy. It wasn't even well cooked. The carrots that came with the plate were not peeled and the outer layer was brownish and they tasted stale and just a bit soft. The cajun salad was not good. But it was edible. The only bearable plate was the sharing platter or big platter something like that. Basically it was two scewers of 4 pieces of shrimp each. Three tiny squid pieces. And two pieces of over cooked dry chicken. That had a nice chilli sauce. The server came to our table to check and everyone said that the food was bad and no ome really enjoyed their meals. We didn't want to ask for a manager because at this point it really felt that there is no point. It's not like there were some mistakes with order or anything. It is obvious that this is how the restaurant operates. I think the chef did not show up to work and the only person they found to take the position was someone who has not seen the inside of a kitchen in their lives. And although we left shortly after that, and we didn't ask to speak to the manager. It would have made the experience just a tiny bit better if the manager decided to show his/her face. This was my first time here. It will be my last time. I do not understand how could they get such good rating on here. O regret not taking any photos to show you. Edit: it is almost always expected that the food you order is not the same as the photo in the menu. But you want something that at least represent it. The bare minimum is to be able to recognize the meal as the same thing in the menu. It really felt like you look at a menu from q restaurant. And you receive food cooked by a ten year old kid.

Restaurant
Rakovskiy Brovar is a delightful gem in Minsk that truly embodies the spirit of local cuisine and craft brewing. Recommended by locals, this establishment offers an inviting atmosphere where you can enjoy home-brewed beers alongside traditional Belarusian dishes. The menu features hearty options like borsh, which pleasantly surprised even those who aren't fans of beets, thanks to its rich flavors and perfect toppings of sour cream and dill.
Nice restaurant with a good atmosphere. Food portion is quite large. Nice staff but too many customers.

Nice restaurant with a large menu and nice variety. We tried three dishes and one appetizer. The steak tartar was very good and excellent quality. The potatoes pancakes with beef was fantastic and my wife really enjoyed the "visiting mother-in-law." The beer sampler was good and gave us a chance to try four of their beers. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the calamari.
Brett C — Google review
Atmosphere is less than good. The lighting is way off. The lighting tempature is around 3,000 kelvins, which is bad for the eyes. The decor of the restaurant is very nice though. It's the best thing this place has going for it. The service is very slow. We sat at our table for 15 minutes on a Tuesday evening before anyone greeted us or took drink orders. I ordered the beef ribs and the flavor was really good, but there were only 3 bites. Almost the entire thing was just fat. Very low quality beef. See images. Literally almost all fat. The person I dined with ordered beef medallion and their grilled vegetables were cold and uncooked on the inside. In conclusion, the overall experience was bad, and I will not return. I do not recommend dining here with so many better options around the city.

An enormous Irish pub, the atmosphere is super, 2-story beer house like you will find in Bavaria! Sadly, I was told NO seat for me, when I first told the hostess my intention of spending my evening here. Then I pointed to bar seats, then the hostess said of course, daaaaa! I ordered an unfiltered beer, and potato pancake with mushroom. The whole experience was definitely not 5 Star, the local unfiltered beer was bit too sour, and the potato pancake and mushroom are pretty much isolated from each other, no mingling of each other at all, taste wise. The waitress was nice, moved me to a table during my meal, that moved rating one star up.
Jess L — Google review
One of the first Brew pubs to open in Minsk, twenty years ago, and it has certainly refined the art of making a decent beer. The Dark beer was the best I have tasted in Belarus, and the wheat beer was very tasty and perfect for a summer's day. Food options were varied. Sausages, burgers and ribs dominate, and what I had was good value and complimented the beer. If you only visit one brew pub in Minsk, it should be this one.

Staff are not as nice as described in other reviews. I said to several waiters I need to order but they see me a foreigner and don’t feel comfortable serving me because they don’t speak English. And when I told this waiter the third time she was raising her voice at me.🙄 I was starving and trying to get food. Instead bringing services to customers that’s their attitude….Even if the food is the best it wont counter the bad attitude and services I received from this female waiter, let alone their mushroom soup is salty…

Food is not that bad, still should be considered mediocre for the price. One star (not the Michelin one) for the personnel's attitude. Stylish design with slightly uncomfortable furniture. As they say, great boast, little roast.

Welcome to the dungeons of Belarusian cuisine. With an axe and pitch fork as cutlery... I joke. The dark, traditional Belarusian setting is comfortable and warming. The food is hearty, rich and served by plate load. Service is good, the English skills of the staff is good for this part of the world. I enjoyed the atmosphere; locals were present drinking and singing. As a tourist, it gave me a taste of tradition. Something that is easily lost in our sensored world.

Day 2

North side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the north side side of town. Start the day off with Galleria Minsk, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Komarovsky Market. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

Shopping
Galleria Minsk is a modern multi-level shopping center located at 9 Pobediteley Avenue, offering a diverse range of local and international shops, dining options, and even a hotel. With over 150 stores spanning various categories such as clothing, perfumes, and jewelry across its six floors, the mall provides ample opportunities for retail therapy. Visitors can also enjoy stunning views of the Old Town from the summer terrace.
I could not find the restaurant Hinkalnya on google maps so I’m leaving it here. The restaurant is located in the food court on the 6th floor. The decor is of course Georgian themed and is very authentic and colourful. The shashlik was perfectly cooked and was so juicy and tender full of flavour. The salad was very filling and very favour full highly recommend it. The cold borscht was very refreshing and flavourful. Over all I highly recommend this restaurant if you find yourself shopping at galleria mall.

I'm giving 1 stars because it is always very crowded and lacks space. Certain areas, particularly the toilets, need more attention as they are very dirty. Also the ventilation is very hot. I don’t know why they turn on the heating so hot indoor knowing there are lots of people and will do the indoor hotter. Horrible.

The Belarusian State Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War, established in 1944, is a significant World War II museum with 24 exhibit halls housed in an iconic building. It is located in central Minsk and holds national importance. The museum showcases the rich history of Belarus and features an impressive collection of art and cultural artifacts related to the war.
One of the highlights of Minsk. Great museum detailing the great patriotic war in the 1940's. War is bad but sadly nobody remembers it. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat the past.

10/10!!! Love this museum, almost everything in English so you can easily understand the historical context. You are transported to scenes of the 2WW through tanks, artillery and mannequins that are super realistic. You should definitely visit! The hall with the names of the heroes is incredible beautiful with stained glasses. A huge congratulations to everyone that put together this incredible museum.

The Museum of the Great Patriotic War in Minsk is impressive, well-maintained, and rich in historical content. It offers a comprehensive overview of the Soviet Union's—and especially Belarus’s—role during World War II. The exhibits are well-organized, with authentic artifacts, photographs, weapons, vehicles, and immersive reconstructions. The modern and multimedia setup makes the visit engaging even for those who aren’t history enthusiasts. It’s a place that moves you and makes you reflect, essential for understanding the country’s historical memory. Highly recommended

A school parade was on close by, the patriotic music loud and the flags, held by each of the school kids, fluttering in the wind. A lovely backdrop on an excellent museum. The museum is new and expansive that takes the tourist through Belarus in the Second World War. There is everything from dioramas to weapons and even a few tanks. All material is in English and very extensive at that. The addition of an exhibit about “the raping of nanjing”, the Japanese army’s cruelty inflicted on the Japanese was brutal and fascinating.

Went to see "The Grey Legend" with my wife. Was surprised that there were subtitles in Russian and English, which was absolutely fabulous. I'm no theater/opera expert, but this was the first time I've see light projections during a play- awesome. The acting and singing was superb. After the performance ovations took about 5 to 7 minutes. Everybody loved it, so did I.

Food was actually good for a rooftop, expected less. The drinks were good too although not cheap. But you don’t go to a rooftop like this for cheap drinks. Service was great, vibes & view amazing. Went there 2 days in a row during my short 2-night business trip to Minsk!! In the first picture I’m watching the eurocup on my ipad as unfortunately they did not broadcast it. But would def recommend this place!! Also shoutout to Maria (i think) girl with the dark hair and eyebrows for the amazing service. The level of their English language was very well too.

I had lunch there with my business partner. Being a part of DoubleTree hotel by Hilton, we'd expected it to be a luxurious restaurant. One of my friends had strongly recommended it. I loved the following: 1- The view is incredible. You can see the river, Minsk skyline, and the city itself extending to the horizon. 2- The food was delicious. We ordered a steak and grilled vegetables. Not only was the food tasty, but it was well-served too. 3- The waiter was English-speaking and very friendly. I wish I had noticed his name. 4- The atmosphere, seatings, decorations, and cleanliness were ideal, just what you'd expect from a five-star restaurant. 5- The place wasn't crowded. We enjoyed being on the open-air terrace with few people around. I strongly recommend Ember restaurant - especially the terrace - for both business meetings and romantic gatherings. I'll certainly be back there soon. Well done!

Should be 3.5 actually. Amazing view. Staff is friendly and helpful. High tables are comfy. Some staff can speak good english. Managers and hostess are reasonable. Now negatives- Food looks good for instagram but taste is average. Out of 4 dishes only 1 satisfied entirely- seafood salad. Burger was below satisfaction but fries was terrible. Fish main dish had reasonable fish but terrible vegetables. Wine and Champaign selection is limited to 3 types only- the rest can be bought by bottles only. Beer selection is also limited. House cocktail was shockingly bad- one of the worst I have ever had. To conclude- pop in for a drink and some photos but be careful with food.

Good - drink was good. Bread was good. Not good - our table did not have napkins, candle or olive oil for the bread. Took almost two hours to get our main courses. The lamb kebelets were inedible - more like sawdust. Pasta dish was cold. Very disappointing. DJ playing music so loud needed earplugs - and who has a DJ at a dinner restaurant? Did they expect us to dance on the tables? Very strange! Will not be going back - too many good restaurants to eat at such a bad one.

They did not want to let us take what we wanted (from the incomplete english menu) and kept on asking if we wanted more drinks. We were $$ to their eyes... We didn't receive what we ordered (not even together) and the food was tasteless. The same music kept on playing during the whole experience. Most expensive restaurant we had in Belarus. I guess its possible to get some good food from this place if you are evenly considered by the waiter. The deco is nice.

It's on a cute European styled street, and I guess would be even better during summer what with the patio terrace and all. Highly recommended come the borsch, salmon, and dumplings!!! Not the cheapest place, but well worth it in my opinion.
