Planning Tips
- Learn basic Cyrillic — Train platforms, carriages, and tickets are labeled only in Belarusian or Russian, so knowing key words like 'платформа' (platform) and 'вагон' (carriage) helps enormously.
- Check visa rules before you travel — If arriving by car, ensure you have a visa or are eligible for the three-day transit entry scheme.
- Take the train for savings — Rail connections from Minsk or Moscow are reliable and much more budget-friendly than hiring a private driver.
- Dress for the forest — If visiting the zoo area, wear a scarf or lightweight neck covering during tick season.
