- Soviet Legacy: Minsk bears the unmistakable marks of its Soviet past. You’ll find grand avenues, imposing government buildings, and a strong sense of order.
- Modern City: However, Minsk has undergone significant transformation in recent years. It now boasts a vibrant nightlife, stylish shopping centers, and a growing tech scene.
