Vacation rentals in Minsk, Belarus

MINSK, Belarus - Nov. 30, 2013 - PRLog -- Rewind a decade or so, and most people outside of Europe were completely unaware of Belarus; dismissing it in their minds as a ex-soviet state with nothing particular to tempt the traveler to spend a vacation there. However, over the last few years, clever intrepid explorers are venturing to Belarus in droves; tempted by the promise of spectacular natural scenery, adventure in abundance and a real sense of ‘authenticity’, which is so often lacking in other more tourist-driven locations. In fact, tourist figures average at approximately 750,000 per year; putting Belarus firmly on the international map, and judging by recent statistics, the number looks set to increase significantly, by as much as 10% per annum. For that reason there is a great number of vacation rentals in Minsk. http://www.apartmentinminsk.com/1-room-apartments.htm In particular, US citizens are now getting wise to the attractions that the country has to offer.

Belarus is a land of startling natural beauty. Of its 80,000 square miles, over 40% is still forested; and the country also boasts 4 National Parks and over 400 special nature reserves. As if this wasn’t impressive enough, the landscape also holds 10,000 lakes; which create a wonderful backdrop for any vacation, as do the 20,000 rivers that criss-cross the terrain. Many visitors are drawn to the country for the wild inhabitants as much as the landscape; and keen wildlife spotters often head to the forests to search for some of Belarus’s more iconic residents, such as the Brown Bear and European Lynx.
