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. In general, I stayed in Belarus for 2 weeks. I came from Russia by train, lived in a rented apartment in Minsk, then with friends in Brest, and left again by train to Russia. All expenses cost me 440€ (including travel and accommodation). I did not deny myself anything, traveled by taxi 70% of the time and bought coffee in coffee shops. I think it is very cheap! And if you have a Russian card I recommend booking accommodation through Yandex Travel. This is one of the most profitable options.

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!

Minsk is considered a very safe city and I agree. The people here are friendly and usually ready to help. However I can’t exclude the fact that sometimes it’s scary to walk in the nighttime just because people are different.

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

Very 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
