Car Hire Minsk - Mini guide to Minsk
Minsk is the largest city in Belarus. It is located on both the Svislach and Niamiha rivers. While insk is the national capital, it is also the capital of the local province of the same name. While Minks has been populated since the beginning of the 11th century, it was then only a small city within the greater polotsk region.
Minsk is a popular tourist destination for citizens of Eastern Europe and of the former Soviet Union. Because it is located on the rivers, as well as the foothills of the Minks hills, it's a popular destination for both water-going activities and hikers. The oldest parts of the city are still located on the hills themselves, making for terrain that is difficult, at times, to navigate.
The 1990s saw the greatest change in the Minks area. The fall of Communism mean that the local government was thrown into disarray. Embassies were allowed to flourish under the new governmental rule, and foreign interests quickly took an interest in the area. Since the fall of Communism, the outskirts of Minks have seen a massive increase in the number of private residential units. The private sector is still growing in Belarus, meaning that there are still opportunities for business and tourism.
Many tourists choose to fly directly into Minsk. Because it is easy to reach both by air and rail, many people use local car hire services, instead of being forced to rely on local mass transit options. While bus service is available, it is often easier to use private automobile to explore the crowded city, as tourists won't be limited to staying to the more well established tourists attractions.
