Cost of living in Belarus
The small country is located at the crossroads of economic, political and trade roads of Europe and Asia. In just a few years, it has become one of the Eastern European powers with a high tourist potential, so now the cost of living in Belarus slightly surprises even experienced tourists. Although here you can find affordable prices, it is true, the service will be appropriate.
Dear metropolitan life
The most expensive is housing in the glorious city of Minsk. Due to the fact that quite recently Belarus hosted the participants of the international ice hockey championship, the hotel base here has significantly expanded..
Many 3 * hotels were built, old ones were renovated. Several five-star hotels have appeared, they are located either in the center or along the main highways. The cost of a single room in a three-star hotel is from $ 70, hotel «Victoria» 4 * offers single rooms at a beautiful price - $ 99.
An even higher cost of a single room in the recently built President Hotel, the cheapest option will cost $ 160. But it is located in the very center of the city, opposite the residence of the President, perhaps this moment will be decisive in choosing a hotel.
Minsk apartments
Recently, apartments and guest apartments have become increasingly popular among guests of Minsk, allowing tourists to feel almost at home. The cost of apartments in the capital fluctuates, the minimum amount is $ 50, the maximum prices are around three-digit numbers, it all depends on the number of rooms, renovation, location.
There is an opportunity to rent a studio apartment with a chic European renovation, however, you will have to part with an amount equal to $ 100 per day.
Student tour
Such high prices should not scare off tourists with a thin wallet. For example, the same students can choose one of the hostels. The conditions in such places of residence resemble Spartan, the rooms have a minimum of amenities: bunk beds and bedside tables, a shower, a toilet on the floor. But this is enough for young and active guests of Minsk, because their goal is to see as many sights as possible in a short time. Hostel prices from $ 10 per night per person.
The cost of living in Belarusian regional centers is not much lower than in the capital. Various options can also be found here. It is much worse in regional centers, where sometimes there may be no hotels at all. Then the option of renting an apartment remains. Agritourism is gaining popularity, in the country there are many firms and entrepreneurs offering accommodation and recreation in the bosom of nature.
In Belarus, one should be prepared for the fact that payment for housing is accepted only in national currency. This means that a foreign tourist will first have to contact the bank and only then make a payment..
