  3. I want to recommend, on my mind, 3 popular places for teenagers. First, "Castle" shopping center. It is a very interesting place where you can spend all day. Second, "Belarus" cinema. In this modern and comfortable cinema you can see films in 5 different halls. And third, "McDonalds". This fast-food restaurant is one of the most popular not only in Minsk, but in the world. Maybe you are all went to this place. I asked about only 3 popular places for teenagers, but there are many other places in our capital.

    1. I argee with you, but in my opinion McDonals is a bad restaurant. First the food of this ''restaurant'' is unhealthy and service is very awful. This is my opinion

      Delete
    2. I agree with Lesha! This food is very unhealthy. You can go to the cafes and eat tasty abd health food. This way is better.

      Delete
    3. What cafes would you recommend for teenagers instead of McDonald's?

  4. It's difficult to find an interesting place to visit but my friends and I have a list of places that help us to have wonderful time together. I'd like to share this list with you:
    1) First of all it is cinema (like Kiev or Silver Screen). Films on a large screen are very gripping and spectacular. New films are a great reason to set up a meeting with your old friends.
    2) Second place will go to shopping centers (like Galileo, Stolitsa or Green). I think that girls will agree with me : shopping is more uplifting than chocolate in many times :)
    3) On my mind third place can go to amusement parks (but of course not in autumn).
    4) Also good place to go is aqua park. In hot weather you, your friend and water – what can be better, isn't it?
    5) And the zoo. It's place where you can have a lot of fun taking photos and watching on funny animals (like monkeys or parrots).
    There are also a lot of magnificent places to visit but I'll leave them to other guys. And remember: more important who will go with you, than what place you'll chose to visit

    1. Oh,Masha,I absolutely agree with you,maybe you can recommend some shops for me and my best friend in The Galileo Centre?

    2. Masha, I'm really impressed by your ideas. I absolutely agree with you that a good company is more important than a place.

  5. Hello everybody!
    I think one of the best places in Minsk, is the shopping center "Galileo".
    There you can visit different cafes and restaurants! Also there is the best cinema in Belarus-Silver screen!
    Another great shopping and entertainment center is the Arena city!
    There you can buy Games, Books, Gifts, Food, Sports, Gift, pet products, Flowers, Children Goods, Shoes ...
    At the same you have an opportunity to drink delicious coffee)
    I prefer this way of relaxation!

    1. It's really fantastic places to relax. For Kate (my friend) and me going in Silver Screen also means going to some shops after all.

      Delete
    2. I think in galileo there are a lot of people and i feel uncomfortable but on the other hand it is a wondeful life.

      Delete
    3. Lada, what do you think about crowds of people in this centre? They make Alex feel uncomfortable. How about you?

  6. In my opinion one of the best ways to spend a day out in Minsk is just to go to the city center. There are literally hundreds of things you can do there. It’s a part of the city comprised of shops, different theaters, cinemas and museums. Also you can find a lot of amazing restaurants and coffee houses there. It is always a pleasure to stop at such a place. Moreover there is always a bunch of buskers there. I think it's a great way to have a perfect day :)

    2. I agree with Liza, but some streets are really in poor condition.

      Delete
    3. Could you recommend some coffee houses for me,I'm definitely a coffee lover :)

      Delete
    4. When you say 'the city centre', what places or streets do you mean in particular?

      Delete
  7. In my opinion, the best place for going out in Minsk is Gorky park. There are lots of rides and places to eat. There you can just walk and talk to each other or ride the highest observation wheel in Belarus or eat some ice-cream.
    Of course, the park closes in autumn and opens only in spring. So for winter I recommend you to go to the Stolitsa shopping centre. There are many cafes, pizzerias and different shops where you can buy anything. There's also a magic piano on the third floor of the centre. Sometimes you can see it playing simphonies itself!
    There aren't many interesting places for teenagers in Minsk, but I think that you will love the places that I described :)

    2. Yes Dasha. I agree with you. Gorky park is very nice place to spend a lot of time with your friends:) But it works only in summer:(

      Delete
    3. What's your favourite ride in Gorky Park?

      Delete
    4. My favourite ride is "Kolobok".
      We went to Gorky park with my best friend many times this summer, and each time we rode the "Kolobok" together. My parents think that this ride is a little bit crazy, but I really enjoy it! I have a lot of fun not only riding it, but watching other people riding. They shout so loud and there's so much happiness in their voices :D

      Delete
    5. I have never heard of "Kolobok" but sounds scary for me :)

  8. I think the most popular place to visit is shopping center castle. Because in this center there are a lot of entertainments. So, you can eat there or watch a movie in the cinema. Also you can buy some clothes there. Castle is a really good place!

  9. I want to recommend you a place which is not popular among teenagers. But I strongly recommend for those who like nature, walks around the forest and taking photos. This place is always wonderful, all the year round. In autumn you can see beautiful swans & ducks. While walking you can enjoy fresh air, feed miserable, but proud birds. This place is the Minsk sea.
    For those who love American style café I advise to visit «Cinnabon». There you can taste heavenly delicious buns with cinnamon. Of course you can take away some buns. It’s very pleasant to drink coffee or tea, enjoy the taste of buns and talk with your friends about something. Especially girls will like this café. ೭੧(❛▿❛✿)੭೨

  14. I decided to recomend you very original place near the Minsk. Dukory homestead is a wonderful place to spend your holiday. There is a big park where you can try horse riding, archery, battledore and shuttlecock or just enjoy picturesque nature. Also you can have traditional Belarusian meal in tavern or have a little picnic in a summer house. You must visit the Foremen’s street to observe work of a potter and a blacksmith. Younger visitors would definitely like a rope town. You should also visit a bathhouse to have some rest. In my opinion, the best place in Dukory homestead is an inverted house. There is a place where you can not only take original photos, but also challenge your vestibular apparatus!

    1. Oh, what an amazing place! I would like to visit it now.

    2. Sounds great! Have you been to this place?

    3. Yes, I’ve been there on the last day of the summer with my family, my friend and his family. At first, we saw agricultural exhibits in museum. Actually, the museum is in a high tower, so it was not easy to get up and down stairs. Then we went to the rope town. It’s allowed to both children and adults, but our parents decided not to go. It was the most exciting experience for my sister. My friend helped her with safety ropes, but she passed the whole level herself and even hadn’t fallen! Also we all tried archery and shooting a crossbow. As I said before, inverted house was the best. The house is really inverted, it stands on its roof and all furniture is on the ceiling. The house has 2 floors. On the first flour you can just take original photos. While going up the stairs you hear laugh of other people from the second floor. When you get on there you understand, why people are laughing. Everybody is falling! You can’t keep your balance and feel dizzy. The secret is that the floor is tilted. Your brain can’t understand what is happening. It’s a real experience for your vestibular apparatus.
      Unfortunately, we haven’t visited the Foremen’s street, the tavern and many other interesting places. But I think it was not the last time we visited the Dukory.

  15. The best way to spend a day out in the is going to Loshicky park. There you can relax and enjoy picturesque sceneries. Also you can go for a picnic with friends. When you will walking through the park, you can see old buildings. It is a good chance to practice your history lessons and take an excellent photos . You can ride a bike, because there are a lot of roads It is a magnificent place to spend yor spare time without busy city, only with nature.

  16. In Minsk, a lot of places to visit. For example cemetery outdated cranes. Or the huge quantity of outdoor sites with the most unique and interesting stories.
    Island bird small nature reserve, which is located in the heart of the Belorussian capital. In it live more than 30 rare species of birds, some of them are in the Red Book of the Republic of Belarus.
    Museum of money. The museum today is possible to know what were the first coins in Belarus, which is \ "Amber path \" and where he was the difference between a penny from the dirham, and what wrote in the tenth century in his diary Ahmad ibn Fadla about our ancestors.

  17. I recommend you to go to a SPA center in Renaissance Hotel.
    There are two finnish saunas, a pool and a gym. You can go to a gym and after that to swim in the pool. I think that it is very useful for health. Also you can have a rest and relax with your friends or a family there.

  21. Unfortunately, all possible options where you can go in Minsk already offered.I only need to add in fact that you can go to the zoo in Chizhovka.At the zoo is working dolphinarium. Also may pay homemade goats, sheep,pigs, dogs, cats and others amazing exotic animals from all over the world.It will be a wonderful atmosphere. In the sports center you can take a bike for a day.You can relax and take a breath of fresh air in Loshitsa park. And by the way, there has recently built a new football stadium, and I will go to the match between Minsk and Bate. In addition you can go to a famous restaurant McDonalds. For me this marvelous food I can eat again and again.Especially not that expensive prices at all. Finally you should go to thhe cinema Bereste. It will be a good end of the day for your friends and relatives to laugh!
