About Belarus
Belarus, located in Eastern Europe, is a landlocked country bordered by Russia to the east, Ukraine to the south, Poland to the west, Lithuania to the northwest, and Latvia to the north. With its strategic position between Europe and Russia, Belarus holds geopolitical significance as a bridge connecting the East and the West. Belarus has a rich historical and cultural heritage, with traces of settlement dating back thousands of years. It has been influenced by various empires and civilizations, including the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Russian Empire. The country endured the devastating impacts of World War II and later became a part of the Soviet Union, gaining independence in 1991. Belarus is also recognized for its well-educated population, strong cultural traditions, and notable contributions in fields such as literature, music, and sports.
The History of Belarus
The history of Belarus is a tapestry of different civilizations, empires, and struggles for independence. The region that is now Belarus has been inhabited since ancient times, with evidence of early settlements dating back to the Stone Age. Throughout its history, Belarus has been a crossroads for various Eastern European cultures. In the Middle Ages, Belarus was part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, a powerful state that encompassed present-day Belarus, Lithuania, Ukraine, and parts of Poland and Russia. This period saw the rise of the Belarusian language and the spread of Christianity. In the 18th century, Belarus came under the control of the Russian Empire, following a series of partitions that divided the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The region experienced Russification policies and political unrest during this time. The 20th century brought significant changes to Belarus. It experienced the horrors of World War II, with devastating consequences and immense loss of life. The capital city of Minsk was largely destroyed and rebuilt after the war.
After the war, Belarus became a part of the Soviet Union and underwent industrialization and collectivization. The country gained independence in 1991 following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Today, Belarus is a sovereign nation with its own political system and cultural identity. It continues to navigate its path as an independent country, facing various challenges and striving for economic development and democratic governance. The history of Belarus is characterized by its geographical position as a meeting point of different influences, the resilience of its people, and its struggle for independence and national identity. Understanding the country's history is crucial for comprehending its present-day dynamics and the aspirations of its people.

15 Best Places to Visit in Belarus
At first glance, Belarus may not sound like the most exciting of destinations, but if you look closely there is much to see and do in this landlocked country that counts Latvia, Poland, Lithuania, Russia, and Ukraine as neighbours. As over 40% of the country is forest, expect lush vegetation and picturesque countryside, as well as an abundance of local wildlife including rare European bison. You can take a trip back in time at the numerous forts and castles in Belarus, as well as keeping up with the more modern side of things in the buzzing capital city of Minsk.

Grodno Belarus Travel Guide - City Highlights & How To Enter Visa Free | 90+ Countries with 3 kids
Today we decided to explore the city sitting on the final frontier between the current European Union and what was once the former Soviet Union. Grodno is a city in the far west of the country, just 12 miles from Poland. Some also call Hrodna and it is a hidden pearl in Belarus. Most tourists visiting Belarus stick to Minsk and the country’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites at Nesvizh and Mir but if you ever have a chance to visit we would definitely recommend visiting Grodno as well.
One of the reasons is for sure the Jesuit Cathedral. This amazing church is situated in front of the Soviet Square with its verdant green and white architecture gazes down upon everything around it. The interior is even more stunning. This church is the city’s main cathedral and dates back to 1678. A few hundred years on, it still acts as a central monument in the city and is popular for all visitors. It is known as the St Francis Xavier Cathedral and regular services are held.
Another reason why we loved Grodno were the leafy parks. The Zhilibera park is the most central and it features an important Soviet War memorial. It’s also the venue for many fun fairs and markets. It is located just right by the river and it has quite a few cafes and cosy bars with beer gardens.
We hope you enjoy the video!
