Minsk nightlife
Although during the day the capital of Belarus may seem calm and peaceful, Minsk's nightlife is decidedly hot and is capable of guaranteeing you unforgettable evenings. Unfortunately, there is no specific area of the city where all the nightclubs are concentrated, but the clubs and bars are scattered here and there throughout the metropolis: it is therefore essential to know where to go and plan the evening in advance, in order to don't waste precious hours.
The night entertainments are really many and range from discos to trendy bars, up to casinos, restaurants and cafes in the center: many places always full of beautiful Belarusian girls , a real attraction in Minsk! Don't forget to taste the excellent local beers but, above all, the excellent Belarusian vodka, considered one of the best in the world.
In the evening, the city of Minsk completely changes its face when the buildings in the center are illuminated with light effects and plays of colored lights that completely transform the city's architecture. Even the trees along the avenues are decorated with luminous garlands which give a romantic atmosphere to your long evening walks in Minsk.
Minsk nightclubs are the perfect place to meet beautiful Belarusian girls. Many clubs are also frequented by stars and VIPs, as well as hosting famous singers and DJs. Often the city's clubs offer not only dance and house music, but also live concerts of jazz, blues and rock music. Belarusians usually go dancing very late, so we advise you to go to the clubs only after midnight.
Two very popular night pastimes in Minsk are bowling and billiards , a great sport to relax and pass the time, perhaps sipping a good Belarusian beer. In fact, scattered throughout the city there are numerous billiard and bowling halls, which are always very popular.
