Rest in Belarus in the fall. What to see in Belarus - an overview of interesting sights of Belarus for an independent trip

Autumn is not a melancholy or preparation for hibernation. Before you pull on your fleeced pantaloons and clog your apartment for the winter, you have time to redo a bunch of things. You don't have to go for it. In their native spaces, there are also ideas for inspiration. What to do in autumn in Belarus? To start, we generate 10 activities: from a raid on theaters to floundering in a picturesque swamp.

Go to the forest

There is no need to wait for a special reason to go to the forest, as well as a special season. But autumn is a special case. Take it - I don't want to: mushrooms, cranberries, wild rosemary. Mushrooms love paths, trees and stumps, and look for cranberries and wild rosemary in the swamps. Berries - in jams, pies, liqueurs, and a medicinal herb with a thick aroma will embrace your bronchi. But the best in this harmless hunt belongs not to the result, but to the excitement of the search. At the same time pleasing the eyes with landscapes, breathing in fresh air and listening to the singing of birds. A wonderful bonus - ticks and mosquitoes have already been neutralized.

Join high culture

Cultural events in the fall take a fresh start. Classes differ from each other strikingly, but each strives to bring you closer to beauty - not only can you roll cans in the fall. There are many events: theatrical performances, fashion shows, ethno-festivals and a lot of other things. The poster is filled to the brim. But what we advise to pay attention to:

Theater, film, art festivals. From "Thearta"(September 20 - October 16)before "Listapada"(November 2-9), Beat Weekend, Environmental Film Festival " Planetarium»In Minsk or festival of contemporary choreography (IFMC)in Vitebsk (November 21-25).

Lecture halls. First, monitor (free) metropolitan areas: fialta projects, " Corps says » and « Massaraksh ».

Literary evenings. The coolest thing here is poetry festival in Novogrudok (October 6-7), the cradle of national romanticism, where it is worth getting at least in honor of the 220th anniversary of the birth of Adam Mickiewicz.

National culture festivals. To fall to the roots, to learn a little more about your culture and love it a little more, go to "Call of Polesye"(September 22nd) where you will plunge into the colorful life of the Poleshuk. Or at "You ask for Makosha"to Korelic region (October 15).

Ball. Why not? In the Ivye region, for example, will thunder "Echo of a Forgotten Ball at Barbara Radziwill's" (The 20th of October)... With costumes, master classes and classical music.

Belarusian Fashion Week (November 7-11) - everything is clear: look at others and show yourself.

Eat and drink

It's time to taste the harvested crop. Following the western brewing centers, Belarus is bursting with its own craft beer festivals - for example, AktoЎber FEST in the Sandbox (September 22nd)or Minsk Craft Beer Fest in Minsk OK16 (September 29)... This is not a large-scale analogue of a bar counter in a deli: there will be good music, food courts, and company.

Separate events are dedicated to food. In autumn you will have time to hook gomel Festival (until October 14)and fit into everyone's enjoyment of seafood In Minsk (October 25 - November 25).

Fans of eco-friendly and organic food should dilute their autumn plans with a trip to vegan fest in Corpus (November 4th).

Go hiking and have an active rest

Before the weather turns the landscapes into a viscous gray mess, go hiking. Classic hiking trails. In addition to them, there are hikes where you need to strain not quite on foot - for example, horse or bicycle trips. Other options for outdoor activities are also in no hurry to curl up into hibernation: at the end of the swimming season, you can master august water marathon (September 28-30)... And if this does not make your heart beat faster, choose your option.

Go to Saturday or volunteer

Ideal time: not too hot and not too cold yet. Several autumn days should be devoted to trips to the most beautiful places in Belarus - protected natural areas. A foray into the vastness, practically untouched by man, will come out in its own way in each of the locations. Somewhere you will be carried away on a beaver safari, somewhere they will arrange a thematic excursion, somewhere else they will lift you over the forest by helicopter. Where to go, how to get and what to do in the bosom of nature, we told in detail.

Join history

This option is valid all year round, but with its own specifics in each season. In autumn, it's time to arrange an ethnographic hunt for those national rituals that have reached the calendar turn. For example, to see how, according to the customs of ancestors, they celebrate Bagach, harvest festival, in Ozerts (September 22nd)or

In autumn, purchasing a tour from Moscow to Belarus, children can get to know the Belarusian culture more deeply. Interesting excursions with a visit to Belovezhskaya Pushcha and the Brest Fortress, castles of Nesvizh and Mir, the Khatyn memorial complex and ancient cities will help you learn a lot about Belarus. In September it is not so hot, October decorates the trees with beautiful golden foliage, and in November it is cool enough so that long excursions are not a burden. Also in the fall, traditional festivals are held, in which it is recommended to take part:

• "Belaya Vezha";
• "Dozhinki";
• "Call of Polesye";
• Day of Minsk.

There are not as many tourists in autumn as in summer, so you can see the country's iconic landmarks without queues. The weather is not too cold yet, but it is not exhaustingly hot either; the heat will not tire tourists during walking tours.

Where to go and what to see in Belarus

Belarus is a compact country, so you won't spend a lot of time exploring interesting places. In a time pressure situation, you can limit yourself to the Minsk region. Go to Logoisk, ride on the slopes there. Visit the old estates near Minsk. Go to Dudutki - there are many interesting things.

And here is the situation in other regions of the country:

• Vitebsk region... Lake District, where you can have a good rest, renting a camping or living in a sanatorium. The region is dotted with small towns, there is a very favorable environment.
• Brest region... There you will find two must-see points of the cultural program - Brest Fortress and Belovezhskaya Pushcha.
• Gomel region... The most interesting places are concentrated in Gomel and Mozyr. It also does not hurt to visit Vetka - the original local history museum is located there.
• The Grodno region... This is the western region of Belarus, and therefore the most significant historical monuments are concentrated here - churches, medieval castles, old estates and pre-revolutionary houses. Be sure to visit Lida during the knightly tournament there.
• Mogilev region... There is practically nothing to see here. There are several ancient buildings, temples and monasteries in Mogilev. Be sure to visit Bobruisk - the legendary city of "padonkaff", to which all persons who did not speak "Albanian" were "exiled".

To Belarus by car - where to go

Going to Belarus in the summer, you may well go on your own car. The roads in Belarus are good, and there are no problems with roadside hotels.

Nothing prevents you from visiting Belarusian lakes and relaxing in a camping, and then going to the legendary Belovezhskaya Pushcha.

Three-day trip around Belarus - minimum program

If you are imbued with the idea of \u200b\u200ba summer trip, but do not have extra time, it is worth planning an express trip to the key places of the country. A detailed acquaintance with the sights of the Republic of Belarus will force you to confine yourself to the Minsk and Vitebsk regions. However, a lot can be done in three days. So, what to see in Belarus in three days or over a weekend by car in the summer:

From Grodno, go to Lida (there it is worth looking at the brewery and the Lida Castle), then to Smorgon and, finally, to Polotsk. Perhaps you will not have time to see anything else, since it is better to allocate a whole day to Polotsk.

The arrival of cold weather and Belarusian sights

With the onset of autumn, a lot changes. Lakes, biosphere reserves and ethnocultural villages are not included in the list. In autumn in Belarus, you can see this:

• Chagall House Museum... To see this memorable place, you need to go to Vitebsk, to Pokrovskaya Street, 11. It was here that the famous artist lived, of whom all Belarusians are proud. Visiting the art center, you can admire the graphic works of the master. The ticket price ranges from 20-90 thousand "squirrels".
• Borisov stone... This unique artifact is located in Polotsk. In autumn, the stone looks especially harsh, reminding tourists of the frailty of life. A mysterious text and an image of a cross are carved on the boulder. You can find this "Belarusian Stonehenge" at 1 Zamkova Street.
• Golshany castle... The majestic ruins of the castle are located in the Grodno region (not far from the town of Golshany). After leaving this settlement, move in the direction of Juratik. To the right of the road, you will see ruins.

It is better to allocate a whole day to Polotsk.

Tourist season in Belarus

Belarus is still developing as an attractive tourist destination, but for many it still remains a little-known country that has kept its special secret after the fall of the communist system. Today everything here echoes the USSR, so those who are nostalgic for Soviet times come to the country first of all. At the same time, Belarus lives not only in the past. It attracts lovers of pristine nature, naturalness, endless opportunities for eco-tourism, powerful recreational potential, a serious excursion program and interesting culture. About 4.5 million foreigners visit the country annually; Russians make up 30% of the total inbound flow. The tourist season lasts all year round: in summer, it is a march through national parks and museums, and in winter it is a holiday in ski resorts.

High season in Belarus

Not many tourists include Belarus in their summer vacation plans, nevertheless, an increased demand among travelers is observed precisely at this time of the year, when the weather favors suburban rest in the bosom of nature, or health improvement. Many tourists living near the border perceive a trip to Belarusian resorts as a trip to the country, because here you can go fishing, steam in a bathhouse, and go mushroom-berries. It should be noted that prices in the summer season are somewhat overstated: some resorts and hotels set a price tag 1.5-2 times higher than standard rates in the off-season. This is one of the main reasons for the suspension of the growth of the tourist flow to the country. Cheap, according to the ingrained tourist legend about Belarus, rest can only be in institutions inherited from the Soviet Union. Newly built boarding houses and recreation centers have practically the same cost level as Russian ones. But if you want to save a little, there is a way out - to take advantage of the early booking option, available since March. This usually guarantees a 10% -30% discount. Also keep in mind that August prices are 10% -25% higher than June prices.

Low season in Belarus

In winter, prices for tickets to Belarus, as well as train and plane tickets, are reduced, but despite this, hotels remain loaded by only 50%. Those who do choose to go on vacation prefer ski resorts and health centers. The greatest concentration of Russians is observed at this time in the Gomel, Mogilev and Minsk regions, located near the border with Russia.

The best time for excursions

What is in Belarus is a rhetorical question. There is everything here in a large number: national parks (for example, the well-known Belovezhskaya Pushcha) with crystal mirrors of lakes and birch groves, historical and cultural reserves, memorial complexes, authentic palace and park estates, old churches, numerous museums and much more. ... The choice of excursion programs is really great, so at first you can even get confused. Some trips are all day long - with early check-out and late return to the hotel, and the prevailing weather at this time can easily disrupt all plans. Moreover, the difference between daytime and evening temperatures is quite significant. The most favorable period for acquaintance with the natural, cultural and historical heritage of the country is late spring, summer and the first two weeks of September. At the same time, even at the agreed time after sunset, the air quickly cools down and becomes cold. For these reasons, we recommend taking a warm jacket or sweater on the road.

Ski season in Belarus

A few years ago, Belarus could not even think about ski centers. Today, it has several ski resorts at once, the equipment and level of service at which are about to meet Western European standards. "Little Switzerland" - this is now the name of this country for its healing climate, picturesque landscapes, clean air, and today - for a tribute to the tradition of winter recreation on the snow. Unfortunately, there are no mountain ranges in the country, however, this did not prevent her from equipping the existing hills and slopes with modern ski resorts. The skiing season opens at the beginning - in the middle of December and lasts until the end of March. The ideal piste surface is maintained by an artificial snowmaking system. At this time, the average daily air temperature is about -5 ..- 7 ° C. The largest influx of tourists is observed on the eve of the New Year and Christmas holidays, and, accordingly, prices slightly increase during this period.

Wellness season

The unique microclimate, good ecology, rich natural and recreational resources (such as silt, saprole mud, several types of mineral waters, etc.) have become a good "soil" for the development of health resort business in Belarus. About 70% of the foreign incoming flow into the country rushes to sanatoriums, the other 20% is placed in recreation centers and health centers. All of them are located outside the city, on the shores of lakes, surrounded by dense forests. People come here with diseases of the digestive system, diseases of the respiratory system, with disorders of the peripheral nervous system, metabolic disorders and for many other indications. First of all, vouchers to the "promoted" health resorts are being bought up. The peak season is during the summer months - the time of school holidays and vacations. At this time, in addition to Russians and Ukrainians, many Poles, Balts and Germans rest and receive treatment here. This expansion of the resort contingent testifies to the high quality of services provided and adequate prices. It is most advisable to come for health improvement from the second half of spring to early autumn, but there are always a lot of people in July and August. On this occasion, a little advice: it is best to book courses 3-4 months before the desired date of arrival.

It's time for holidays and festivals

Belarusian culture is very original and interesting. Due to the special geopolitical position of the country, several nationalities influenced the formation of its culture. Today, the country's festive calendar includes many memorable dates and events celebrated in Russia, but at the same time it is not devoid of its own national celebrations. January 1 - New Year, January 5 - Social Security Workers Day, January 7 - Christmas, on the night of January 13-14 - Old New Year, January 19 - Baptism of the Lord and the Day of the Rescuer, January 21 - Engineering Troops Day, January 25 - Students' Day, the last Sunday of January - Day of Belarusian Science, February 2 (15) - the pagan holiday of Gromnitsa (meeting of winter with spring), February 14 - Valentine's Day, February 15 - Memorial Day for International Warriors, February 23 - February 23 Day defenders of the Fatherland and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus, March 15 - Constitution Day of the Republic of Belarus, March 25 - Freedom Day (not considered an official holiday), April 26 - Chernobyl Tragedy Day, April - May - Easter, May 5 - Press Day in Belarus, 9 May - Victory Day, May 15 - International Family Day, the second Sunday in May - National Emblem Day, the first Sunday after Easter - the pagan holiday Radunitsa, June 22 - Day of National Remembrance of the Victims of the Great Patriotic War, June-early July - Syo fly (Pentecost), the last Sunday in June - Youth Day, July 3 - Republic Day, July - the international arts festival "Slavianski Bazaar" in Vitebsk, August 2 - Paratrooper Day, August 7 - Harvest Day "Dozhinki", the third Sunday in August - Day Belarusian Air Force, first Sunday in September - Day of Belarusian Written Language, first Sunday in October - Teacher's Day, October 14 - Mother's Day and the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, third Sunday after the Intercession (early November) - "Autumn Grandfathers", November 7 - October Revolution Day, 17 November - Student's Day, December 17 - Day of Belarusian Cinema.

Climate in Belarus

Due to the fact that most of the territory of Belarus has a flat landscape, a temperate continental type of climate has formed here, or, to be more precise, transitional from maritime to continental. The strong influence of air masses from the Atlantic predetermined an increased level of humidity and an almost even distribution of precipitation throughout the whole year. The range of average daily seasonal temperatures is small - from -5 ° С in winter to +23 ° С in summer.

Belarus in spring

As a rule, spring is never in a hurry to come into its own. Even in the south, snow lies until mid-March, and in the north, it lingers until mid-April. From this time on, warmth returns to the country, and temperatures are above zero at night. Due to the abundant melting of snow on the muddy country roads, some settlements are flooded due to floods on the rivers, so transport communication with them is often disrupted. Real spring comes here in late April - early May, when sunny weather sets in. In the fresh air, in addition to the humid suspension, delicious floral aromas begin to be captured, fruit trees bloom buds, and local parks and squares take root in luscious greenery.

Vitebsk	+2	+10	+18

Belarus in summer

Summer in Belarus is ideal for those who cannot stand the heat and the scorching sun. During the day, it is moderately warm and moderately sunny. This is a fairly rainy season, with precipitation occurring approximately 13-15 days each month, but fortunately, they are short and not strong. The warmest is in August, at this time in the capital you should expect about +22 .. + 23 ° С, these indicators are much higher in Gomel - here the thermometer can jump to + 25..26 ° С, in Brest it is also very warm, but the weather is more moderate. Going to the country in the summer season, however, you should be prepared for abnormal periods: in recent years, news reports have often been full of headlines about the unheard-of heat set in the republic at +32 .. + 33 ° С. But it is worth remembering that no matter what the weather is during the day, the evening contrast to daytime temperatures is always impressive. In the dark, the thermometer drops by at least 9 ° C, and at most 12 ° C.

Belarus in autumn

In the first two weeks of September, you can go to Belarus without fear of spending your entire vacation in a hotel. Precipitation is still frequent, but in the daytime the thermometer rises to +17 .. + 18 ° С. But in the second half of the month the weather already unquestioningly obeys the rhythms of nature, the cycle of which cannot be stopped. It gets colder outside, the sun hides behind clouds almost all the time, and the trees shed their golden foliage. By October, the thermometer drops to + 9..11 ° С, strong winds rise, so long walks do not bring real pleasure. The first frosts are expected at night, but there are no big negative temperatures yet. It is believed that after the Intercession (mid-October) climatic winter comes into its own. In principle, this is how it happens. In November, for the first time, the thermometer drops below 0 ° С, it is very cold during the day, rain with sleet is possible. A characteristic feature of the last month of autumn is dull fogs, as a result of which humidity and, accordingly, coldness increase.

As you know, Belarus over the past 10 years has taken a firm place in the line of the most popular resorts among Russians. The advantage of these resorts, in their all seasonality, and spa treatment. It is the treatment in the sanatoriums of Belarus that is the main feature of this area of \u200b\u200btourism. Possessing a modern medical base and professional staff, the sanatoriums of Belarus attract more and more new fans. One of the important advantages of resorts in Belarus is the off-season. But for all the year-round nature, of course, you can rest in Belarus in different months in different ways.

Average September temperature:

during the day +17 at night +8 water + 14

Now we will discuss the holiday in September, how it is better or worse than in other months.

The advantages of resting in the sanatoriums of Belarus in September 2020:

1. During this period, there is no excitement, which means that you can book such a room in such a sanatorium that you liked, and not what is left.

3. In September, especially after September 5-6, there is practically no problem buying train or plane tickets.
4. After the high demand in July-August, prices for vouchers naturally decrease, this is also a pleasant factor for choosing September as a period for vacation.
