In Belarus I have been to 2 cities: Minsk and Brest. In each of them I felt absolutely safe both during the day and late at night. Belarus has an amazing property - everyone who gets there gets drunk 90% of the time, and I was no exception. You should definitely try Belarusian liqueurs and draniki (potato pancakes), and if you want to spend time in a quiet and not very expensive restaurant, I recommend Le Gosse.

Minsk seems very safe to me, and for women solo travels as well! good food, nice people, language barrier could be a little of a problem, but younger generation know some English, I'm recommending you to visit Асмалоўка area, I personally think it's the most touching place of the city

Minsk is a great city! It’s clean, beautiful, and safe. The food is delicious, the people are friendly, and the climate is mild. Nyamiha and the Minsk Hero City Obelisk are must-visit spots. We ate at local cafés and bought food from supermarkets — it was cheap and tasty. We stayed at Urban Hostel — highly recommended!

It’s absolutely safe in the city of Minsk. It’s very nice city and it becomes amazing and charming in spring and summer. Plus it’s very clean. There are a lot of cute cafes and restaurants and activites to do as well.

People are mostly kind, supportive and polite. and there are a lot of police in the city center. At night, bad companies used to gather closer to the southeastern outskirts, but now everything seems to be fine.

I would say it’s pretty safe overall. But if you are a person of color there will be biases that might impact your experience. But with recent changes in legislation it might soon be unsafe for LGBTQ+

Belarus is very safe country. There is you can leave your bag on the bench and you will find it on the same spot after 2 hours. Also no crimes and thefts. When something happens, the police is working.
