In the heart of Eastern Europe lies the beautiful country of Belarus. Surrounded by the nations of Latvia, Russia, Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania, Belarus is totally landlocked. What it lacks in coastal views however, it more than makes up for with breathtaking Russian-inspired architecture, a riveting history, cornflower fields for miles, quaint, photo-worthy towns and a population of incredibly hospitable people. Pick up a car hire in Belarus and experience this stunning country the way it was meant to be seen.
Whether you’re beginning or ending your adventures in Minsk, the capital is well worth a few days of your time, with its unique combination of fascinating Stalinist buildings, beautiful parks and delicious eateries. Jump in your rental vehicle and see how many castles you can find as you road trip around the country, and visit the cities of Gomel, Grodno or Mogilev along the way.
