Sport & Activities

Minsk was one of the venues of the 1980 Olympic games and has excellent sports facilities. Tennis, gymnastics, athletics, swimming, football and ice hockey are just some of the sports which are on offer. Excellent cross-country skiing is available in the nature reserve near the Minsk campsite. Skating is also popular. Hiking is possible throughout Belarus. The Braslav Lake District situated in the north and northeast of the country is ideal for boating holidays. Several of the 30 lakes are connected by canals.
