To begin with, we suggest walking around the beautiful New Year's Eve Minsk. There are a lot of light figures and Christmas trees in the center, which create a fairy-tale atmosphere in the city. The lights light up on December 15 and are illuminated during the month. They delight everyone with their beauty until 12 at night, but during the holidays you will see the magic until dawn.
You can have a quest around the fairy-tale places and make beautiful photos of the huge Christmas tree and fairy-tale trees on October Square, winter fountains on Independence Square, the symbol of the coming year and other light figures in Gorky Park, and near Komarovka huge Christmas tree balls and a light arch with the numbers "2024"
