Belarus seems comfy desu, dunno why no one visits it.

>mean while 8 millions tourism arrivals Vietnam each year.

>>67050325
Vietnam is one of those countries people go to when they start their travels around the world.

I read something about too complicated to obtain visa and uninteresting attractions. Well, at least it is not Moldova.

I think they don't count Russian tourists since we don't have any border control with Belarus.

>Why does no one visit Belarus?
potato dictatorship image and lack of advertising

>>67050240
Because the visa application is about double the amount of paperwork, as my Russian visa was.

>>67051281
I was so close to Belarus when I was in Vilnius. Met some people from Minsk and their English was excellent.
It sounds ignorant, but is visiting Minsk alone as an American a wise thing to do?

>>67050240
>Why does no one visit Belarus?
Strict visa policy.

>tfw visa free unlimited access to comfy Belarus

Isn't Belarus just a compact Russia on commie steroids?

>>67051221
A Belarusian had told me that travel from Moscow to Minsk is considered domestic travel, is that true?

>>67051532
Yes, for Russian citizens. We also can spend unlimited amount of time there.

>>67051532
It's visa free and doesn't have any border control so pretty much like domestic travel. Imagine visiting Brussels, would it be a domestic travel to you?

>>67050240
>Why does no one visit Belarus?
Don't you have to go with a Polish or Russian friend?

Is this real?

it was sad watching the IIHF tournament they hosted a couple years ago, basically no fans showed up even though it's right next to russia and latvia and close to finland and sweden.

in Minsk in English you will understand only young people
30+ have almost forgotten English because they do not use it
>It sounds ignorant, but is visiting Minsk alone as an American a wise thing to do?
Visit Belarus alone, if you do not know Russian or Belarusian, this is not a good idea
>>67051474
>Isn't Belarus just a compact Russia on commie steroids?
only in Belarus and Kyrgyzstan still celebrate 7 November as a state holiday (although many do not even know what happened on this day)

>>67051801

LMAO

>>67051801

Made me think.

>>67051878
how many people in your city may at least explain route in English

Guise, why would you want to visit this depressive country ? There is no good internet for travellers and no intertaiment. Visit Moscow or St.perersburg. Don't go to Minsk, theres nothing to do. No night life, no places to go chill. Even girls are somewhat ugly compared to other east europe. Pls do yourself a favour - avoid.

>>67051801
>this is not a good idea
My broken Russian is about equal to level of English people spoke around the town.

>>67051651
I've read that it's literally a country with 0 tourist attractions, everything is broken and no picturesque buildings. It's poor. That's Moldova for you.

>>67051958
let me spik from my hart

>>67052088
>Why would you want to visit this depressive country?

Because anyone can go to Germany or France. I like the places where nobody goes. The forbidden feeling is attractive.

>>67052118
Moldova does have some decent wine though.

To be honest, there is absolutely no reason to even visit Russia.
God gave you beautiful Europe and you want to go and seek a jewel in a fucking shitter. Srsly, not worth it.

>>67051801
can't i just speak polish and you will understand me?

>>67052233
O KURWA! JA PERDOLE!

>>67052226
M8. Russia is similar to the USA with natural beauty. A big country with a lot to see, just shitty infrastructure outside of Saint Petersburg and Moscow.

>>67052321
why do you send me our bydło?

>>67052337
Because cs:go really helps with understanding spoken Polish and Russian. At least for me.

>>67052330
More like cheap booze and hotels for a weekend tourists.

>>67050240
it's hard to make a visa and it's more expensive compared to the other yurop countries
also there was an article telling what's written about belarus in tourist guides on the net for different countries and the warnings weren't promising(filled with stereotypical shit like don't go on the street at night or you'll get bitten, belarus is not safe etc)

>>67052873
No way it's more expensive than Russia and specifically St.Petersburg.
Oh wait, you said yurop countries, my bad.

>>67050240
Why would anyone want to visit this fucking Belarus

It's a comfy place.

>>67052916
but if you are say a western european, you know by default there's a shitload of things to see in russia you are ready to pay for
on the other hand nobody would want to go to a country they know nothing about for an expensive visa and difficulties with getting it

The visa is more simple to get than the Russian one, can be done with minimal effort through a travel agent. Cost was about 70EUR but hotels are fucking ludicrously overpriced and 80s tier in pretty much every way.

Minsk is kind of boring though, restaurants are pretty crappy too. Some bydlos on the metro took issue with how I looked but otherwise the place was fine in terms of safety sense.

>>67053116
Who did you look?

>>67053240
*How

>>67051801
>>67051958
Will I get stabbed for coming? I'm Iranian and clearly non-white/dark skinned.

>>67052233
40% yes

>>67052958
It's a nice place to visit.

Like lithuania or smth

>>67053240
You too. Is Russia safe?

>>67053324
no

>>67053366
Are people friendly? I can't imagine going and not talking to anybody.

Belarus is a beautiful place good thing that they like us and give us the visa nearly for free

>>67053324
>stabbed
It's not Finland after all. You'll be beaten up to death.
Don't worry, there are thousands if not millions of non-whites.

>>67053383
>Are people friendly?
yes
>I can't imagine going and not talking to anybody.
many people just do not know English, is the only reason

i want to go to belarus

Because getting a Russian visa takes as much effort and money and Russia has much more to offer.

>>67053955
Is getting a Belarus visa hard for a Lithuanian?

>>67054028
you must pay 3 (three) potatos

>>67051532

Yes, it is.

ayy lmao

>>67054028

As hard as for a Russian to get a Schengen visa. Same goes for getting a Russian visa as a Lithuanian.

t.have been to Russia

>>67054158
Schengen isn't that hard.

>>67054200

RU/BY visas aren't that hard either if you're determined and got the money. It's just a lot of effort compared to having no borders at all in Schengen.
