Mysterious and misunderstood, Belarus remains an enigma at the heart of Europe. Bradt´s Belarus gives you all the information needed to get the best from this lost world. Explore Minsk, Belarus´s modern city, built as a memorial to the glory of Soviet communism or step beyond the capital and find a wealth of riches that remain largely unknown to the outside world: the natural splendour of primeval forests, rivers and lakes; flora and fauna in abundance; stunning museums empty of visitors; rich culture and tradition; historical sites dating back to the Middle Ages; beautiful churches; Russian Orthodoxy and the genuine warmth of a people who believe that the rest of the world has either forgotten them or has no interest in their wellbeing.

* The first and only English-language guidebook to Belarus
* In and around Minsk, its numerous museums, parks, churches and historic sites
* Explore the Belovezhskaya Pushcha forest – home to herds of European bison and other rare mammals
* Personal anecdotes from the author´s experience of living in the heart of a rural community
