Forests, lakes, rivers, streams, endless plains, and marshes... Belarus is a true paradise of greenery! More than a third of the territory is covered by forests. Nature holds an important place in the hearts of Belarusians who do not give up pieces of forest, even in the city center! Belarusian cities are full of green spaces. And once you leave the city, you automatically find yourself in the middle of a forest... Nicknamed the "country with blue eyes" for its abundance of lakes, or even "the green lung" of Europe for the vast marshy regions of Polesia, Belarus is sure to charm all nature lovers. Rich in parks and nature reserves, this country enchants its visitors with the softness and harmony of its landscapes where one can find varied flora and fauna almost nonexistent in the rest of Europe, such as bison, wolves, and an extraordinary variety of birds.

A Warm and Welcoming Population
Belarusians are people from the North. Quiet, patient, calm, even if they may seem quite reserved at first, they quickly reveal a great sense of hospitality and solidarity. They prove to be an extremely hospitable people and true bon vivants. Everywhere, you will find people ready to help you, show you the way, and invite you into their homes. It is said that it is almost impossible to make Belarusians angry. Ravaged by many wars over the centuries, Belarus has forged a solid reputation for tolerance and resilience, of which its inhabitants are very proud.
A Crossroads of Stories and Cultures
The history of Belarus is very complex due to the countless occupations and divisions the country has experienced. Serving as a buffer state between the East, represented by Russia, and the West, symbolized by Poland, Belarusian culture is imbued with these two worlds. Byzantine architecture, typical of Russia, harmoniously combines with the Gothic style of Western Europe, enriched with touches of classicism, baroque, and modern. The remnants that survived the tragic destruction of World War II, reflecting the blend of past cultures, are associated with dominant Stalinist architecture in major cities, expressing the Soviet past. A melting pot of peoples and religions as early as the 15th century, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Jews, and Muslims coexisted peacefully here. It is not uncommon to find in the same city an Orthodox church, a Catholic church, a synagogue, and a mosque! In addition to a folklore that remains very present, particularly in the Polesie regions.
An Affordable Destination: Belarus
The cost of living is very low for tourists in Belarus. Prices remain affordable even for small budgets. Sports activities, cultural outings, visits, transportation, souvenir shopping, dining, and nightlife are significantly cheaper than in France. However, accommodation can be quite expensive compared to the services and local cost of living, especially in Minsk.
An Ideal Playground for Leisure
The vast wooded areas of Belarus make it a popular place for nature lovers and active tourism enthusiasts. A trip to Belarus is incomplete without at least one excursion to one of its nature reserves. Water sports, hiking, biking, or horseback riding are easy to organize. Hunters and fishermen will find satisfaction in the countless reserves dedicated to them. Finally, mushroom and berry picking is guaranteed!
