Update: it got worse since I visited in January. Most of my cards do not work. Some do work though, but it’s not consistent and depending on POS provider. For ATMs without any spread use BelarusBank or PriborBank, though they have monthly limit of around 2kBYN. I was able to cashout more out of BelarusBank using Apple Pay (they have a limit per card per month). I’ve heard that you can also go to a branch and they can cash out more there, but haven’t tested it yet. Belgazprombank ATMs work, but they silently add 3% fee on top without notification (or rather with a notification that they are not adding any fees and if you see additional charge it means it’s your bank, it’s not my bank most definitely because charged amount is 103% :P)

heya, planing to come to minsk in a few weeks

Kufar.by for renting apartments, for other stuff google map and yandex map

Is there a special Google for Belarus? How do you find good meal prep? Is there a Uber Eats app? Taxi app? What are the top dating apps?

Is this blocked outside of Belarus? Can you pay with foreign cards?

US VPN in opera browser helps you

possible to use some russian services (like Ostrovok, Ozon Travel, etc). But international payment will fail most probably. Kufar.by, realt.by for local services.

Hi, the idea I had 2 years ago, has now reborned. I have visited Ukraine on another passport in the meantime. Being that said, and given the current situation, does anyone know if it is safe for an European to go to Minsk as a tourist by getting a bus from Poland?

Hi, do you still need this information? I happen to have met someone from Belarus a few days ago, could try to ask him some time this week.

Hi, yes please, that would be great 😃

Hi Ricardo, my friend advised against this as the war is still ongoing so the border situation is still dangerous, there will be very frequent trouble with the police and/or military.

Oh alright, thank you 🥲
