The arrival of cold weather and Belarusian sights
With the onset of autumn, many things change. Lakes, biosphere reserves and ethno-cultural villages fall out of the list. In the fall in Belarus, you can see this:
- Chagall House Museum. To see it memorial place, you need to go to Vitebsk, to Pokrovskaya street, 11. It was here that the famous artist lived, whom all Belarusians are proud of.

Autumn is not blues and not preparation for hibernation. Before you pull on the fleece pantaloons and clog up in the apartment for the winter, you will have time to redo a bunch of things. It is not necessary to follow this at all. In the native spaces, too, there are ideas for inspiration. What to do in autumn in Belarus? To start, we generate 10 activities: from raiding 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 a special case. Take it - I don’t want it: mushrooms, cranberries, wild rosemary. Mushrooms love paths, trees and stumps, and look for cranberries and wild rosemary in swamps. Berry - in jams, pies, liqueurs, and healing grass with a thick aroma will hug your bronchi. But the best thing about this harmless hunt does not belong to the result, but to the excitement of the search. At the same time pleasing the eyes with landscapes, inhaling the fresh air and listening to the singing of birds. A wonderful bonus - ticks and mosquitoes have already been neutralized.
Embrace high culture
Cultural events take a fresh start in autumn. Classes differ dramatically from each other, but each strives to bring you closer to the beautiful - not only cans roll in the fall. There are many events: theatrical performances, fashion shows, ethnic festivals and a lot of other things. The poster is filled to the brim. And here is what we advise you to pay attention to:
Theatrical, film, art festivals. From "Teartha"(September 20 - October 16) before "Listapada"(November 2-9), Beat Weekend, Environmental Film Festival " Planetarium»in Minsk or festival of modern choreography(IFMC) in Vitebsk (November 21-25).
Lectures. To start, monitor (free) metropolitan: 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, which is worth visiting at least in honor of the 220th anniversary of the birth of Adam Mickiewicz.
Festivals of national culture. Get back to your roots to learn a little more about your culture and love it a little more, go to "Call of the Polesye"(September 22nd) where you will plunge into the colorful life of the Poleshuks. Or at "Makosha ask" in Korelichesky district (15 October).
Ball. Why not? In the Ivyevsky district, for example, it will thunder "Echoes 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 here: look at others and show yourself.
Eat and drink
It's time to taste the harvest. Following Western brewing centers, Belarus is spawning its own craft beer festivals - for example, Aktouber 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 grocery store: there will be good music, food courts, and company.
Separate events are dedicated to food. In the autumn you will have time to catch gastrofestival in Gomel(until October 14) and fit into universal 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 4).
Go hiking and get active
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 your own two feet - for example, horse or bicycle trips. Other active recreation options are also in no hurry to hibernate: at the end of the swimming season, you can overpower august water marathon(September 28-30). And if this does not make the heart beat faster, choose your option.
Go on a community work day or volunteer
Ideal time: not too hot and not too cold yet. A few autumn days should be devoted to trips to the most beautiful places Belarus - protected natural areas. A trip to the open spaces, almost untouched by man, will come out in its own way in each of the locations. Somewhere they will take you on a beaver safari, somewhere they will arrange a thematic excursion, somewhere else they will lift you above the forest by helicopter. Where to go, how to get there 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 rites that have reached the calendar turn. For example, to see how, according to the customs of their ancestors, they celebrate Bagach, harvest festival, in Ozerets (September 22nd) or
