I wouldn’t say Minsk is unsafe - just as Belarus on average it is quite stable, but political situation always makes me feel on edge as a citizen, because we basically don’t have rights in here. I’m not sure how or if it transfers to tourists
Posted: July 15, 2025Very save and nice city, especially in the centre. Nice polite people, many people know English very well and can help if you ask someone on the street. I can’t say that is dangerous to walk in the night, the central part of the city is clean and safe
Posted: July 9, 2025i’d call minsk mostly a safe place for women, as the crime rate there is very low. although i’d recommend staying in centre and not going far from it or to suburbs as, obviously, there you might not have an opportunity to escape an unwanted attention from men. but i believe that’s how it is pretty much everywhere all around the world, so yeah. people in minsk are mostly polite and decent, so overall, there’s nothing to worry about.

It’s very saved city, as Belarus in general. You can walk during the night and feel very saved. People are friendly and there’s no street robbery. The one thing you should know- don’t cross the road on the red light even if there’s no cars

Belarus is a safe place for women. People are very polite and helpful. Men are always men. Of course it is not super safe if you walk in the total dark not in the centre of the city or just main streets, but like in every country i think :)
Posted: June 10, 2025Minsk is a pretty safe city for women travelling alone. There are some city parts that are not that friendly, however, they are still pretty safe. Follow basic safety rules and it will be ok. Moreover, I do believe that people here are really helping.
