"Hop in! - Its the new travel on wheels!" - The Minsk City Tour Bus!
 |
| Minsk City Tour |
The project has been laid out in conjunction with a commercial entity, and the department of Information & tourist center is assisting in the routing, translation of details into the respective foreign languages, as well as making a recorded audio guide available for its travelers boarding the Red Double Decker Bus.
The project was unfolded to anticipate an increase in tourism & tourists from various countries so as to learn more about the country. Similar types of city tours are available in countries such as the UK & other parts of Europe as well. A good example is the 'Berlin Route #100", which extends past all the main attractions and allows tourists to explore the city on wheels.
Minsk Clock Tower
Gateway to the City!
The Minsk Clock Tower
is directly opposite the Minsk Railway Station which connects to all of
Europe & Russia (Moscow & St.Petersburg). It is also the
gateway to the city which stands to welcome visitors to the city of
Minsk, Belarus. The Towers were built in the years after the second
world war and hold the largest clock brought in from Germany.
The clock that hangs over the gateway is considered to be over a 100
years old and still resonates history that this beautiful country passed
through in the many year that have gone by. Passing through these
gates, you would find yourself standing in 'Kirov Street' which is considered to be the 1st micro-district in the Minsk region.
Minsk City Tour Bus - Genesis!
Two-Storey Red Double Decker Bus
The
new Minsk City Tour Bus can be seen parked near the Minsk Railway
Station and tickets for the tour can be purchased from the ticket
counter at the following prices:
- The trip cost for a single adult passenger in Belarussian Roubles would cost BYR 90,000/- (Approx$11/-),
- The trip cost for a single child passenger in Belarussian Roubles would cost BYR 50,000/- (Approx $6/-)
However, the first Monday of the month is considered as "Charity Day!"
so individuals from Orphanages can ride for free, and all the money
raised from the sale of the tour would go to help the needy, homeless
& poor.
The tour starts at the train / train station with an approximate
duration of 1.5-2 hours. The trip includes the following destination
en-route:
- The Palace of the Republic,
- The circus,
- The Academy of Sciences,
- The Botanical Gardens,
- The National Library,
- The Trinity Suburb,
- The sports complex "Minsk-Arena",
- The City Hall and much more...
The above route offers passengers an opportunity to explore the main
attraction of the city on wheels. Moving on then the bus moves through
the route at a speed of 30-40 km / h, but at the end of the trip, it
feels like as the wonderful journey through the city was only covered in
a few minutes.
