Minsk in November 2025 – is it worth going to rest? Weather and reviews, air temperature, how to dress, ticket prices and hotels, excursions. What to do in Minsk during November, what to see in Belarus, says Eurotraveler.
The finish of autumn is certainly not the time that is worth planning long trips. First of all, because there are few people – and Russian – no exception – will voluntarily agree to go on vacation in November.
The month, obviously, cheese, inconspicuous and a lot where in Eurasia is directly frosty. In addition, often, the little salt.
That is, there are not so many chances that leave that your excursions and other entertainment events will take place according to the approved plan. And once breaking a monotonous everyday routine leisure in question – is it worth “breaking spears”?!
In fact – yes! Since other places are most correct to visit in completely not tourist time. Therefore, the idea to meet November in Minsk, and then drive through Belarus in 2-3 days is by no means so bad.
That is, it is generally good. If you give yourself work to think and evaluate the prospects!
Pros
After all, you can get to Minsk from Moscow by car or train, an airplane in just a few hours. And not only from Moscow, from many other Russian cities: the same St. Petersburg, Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod …
The usual weather in Minsk during November, of course, cannot boast of excessive warmth and an abundance of sunlight. But she and does not threaten constant snowfalls And icy sidewalks.
As well as the appearance on the streets of man -made slush created by utilities. And everything is corroding: from shoes to cars.
Prices in Belarus for everything are definitely lower than in the Russian capital. Western clothes and other brands did not go anywhere.
And the sights in Minsk and nearby are great in number – you will not have time to get bored. Again in Belarus in November – it is not a sin to ride. That is, conduct a weekend In active such, modern, vein.
Is it really enough for you to decide? And they made a pair of cars on the weekend a couple of cars, which obviously will bring a fresh and even festive stream into your life.
Weather in Minsk in November
Perfectly correlates with the usual time for this time of the year, the mindship of Russian and Belarusian citizens. There are many cloudy days, often a lead sky. And the air temperature transparently hints at the imminent parish of winter.
However, all this does not cancel the fact that the tourist who has arrived from Moscow or St. Petersburg will consider local weather condition at the start of the last month of autumn Excellent. That is, in a remarkable way suitable for all kinds of activity, walking around the city, long excursion trips beyond its limits.
Judge for yourself!
In early November, in Minsk, it is quite warm in the afternoon (up to +7-12 ° C)-by the average Russian standards-albeit little salt. But rains, we are no longer talking about something more serious, practically Do not complicate life Due to weak visibility.
Yes, and night temperatures over the first half of the month can only make an attempt to sink into the interval +2-4 ° C a couple of times. Freezing? In most cases, they are an exception to the rules!
Note that such “weather” in the first half of November stand in Minsk annually. And then you will have to meet the winter. Let the rather soft, European, but still …
Because usually in late autumn in the Belarusian capital Croeses to -1-4 ° C Even in the daytime. And at night, frosts (up to -3-8 ° C) were completely explained by explaining icing of reservoirs.
Rare temperatures up to +6-7 and even +10 ° C are possible. But in November, if they happen, then for a very short period.
Precipitation in the form of snow also falls out. But the establishment of constant snow cover at this time of the year almost never happens
It is worth considering
that throughout November, air humidity in Minsk is above 75-80%. So the weather is perceived somewhat coolerrather than it seems, based on the predicted temperature.
The sun rises in Minsk at 8.10 on November 1 and does this an hour later at the end of the month. Well, it sets, respectively, in 17.37 and 16.53, reducing the duration of daylight hours from almost 9.5 hours to less than 8.
What to take with you
Those who are going to go to Minsk in their own car are unlikely to think for a long time about what they will take on a trip with them. However, the car is different to the car – some trunk with difficulty accommodating even a medium -sized suitcase.
Moreover, in auto travel, regardless of the time of year and direction, it is worth taking with you a certain set of things that can help out in an unforeseen situation. And for their placement, you will also need a place – what to take on the road by car to eat.
Plus it is worth it leave a place for purchases. We have already said above that there are more opportunities for buying quality clothes and, possibly, even products in Belarus today than in Russia.
It is definitely worth taking a light, but Warm clothes. It will not hurt if it is with water -pushing properties.
We also recommend capturing something warmer than shorts and t-shirts for staying in hotels and apartments. Since it is far from the fact that they will be heated to comfortable temperatures for you, Belarus imports both oil and gas.
Particular attention should be paid to shoes – taking into account the high probability of long walks, it should already be actually winter. Well, naturally, waterproof. As well as a comfortable, not rubbing leg.
- Prices for daily rent of apartments in Minsk
Of the documents you will need only a Russian passport (birth certificate for children under 14 years old). And also a driver’s license, if you go by car, and a certificate of registration of the vehicle.
It is also necessary to purchase a green card insurance policy, which in the fall of 2025 costs a little more than 1,000 rubles for 15 days. The tourist medical insurance policy is not required at the entrance, but it is worth considering that Russian insurance is not valid in Belarus.
Prices 2025
A ticket to the seated places of the soon Moscow-Minsk (Swallow) can be purchased for 3.5-4 thousand rubles. About the same money costs the opposite. “Swallow” overcomes the distance between the stoles of Russia and Belarus in 7 hours, that is, clearly Faster than cars.
Hotels in Belarus over the past year have significantly raised their prices. So, perhaps, you will experience something like shock when it turns out that finding a decent level number or apartments in less than 5 thousand rubles for two is not so simple. In any case, if you would like to stop not particularly far from the city center.
Again, it should be borne in mind that the options at the beginning of November are disassembled back in September
Against this background, a logical and simply helping out the daily rental of apartments will be. Fortunately, that Their choice in Minsk is greatand even centrally supported options, next to Independence Avenue, it will be possible to remove for 5-7 thousand rubles per day. And not two will be able to accommodate inside, but up to 4-6 people!
In the reviews, excursion tours in the Belarusian capital and nearby are praised. Also Not too expensive.
For example, in order to take part in a foot on a sightseeing route to Minsk, you need to pay from ~ 1,500 – 2,000 (Russian) rubles per person. A more individualized walk costs from 4-6 thousand, but already for all participants.
A one-day tour of the two landmark castles of Belarus, included in the UNESCO list of Nesvizh and Mirsky Castle, will cost ~ 4-5 thousand rubles. True, only for one excursion.
What to do
Even in between, in the breaks between visits to shopping centers and cafes, you will inspect all the most interesting in Minsk in 2-3 days. In parallel, naturally, having purchased a lot of useful and not very things.
Again, if desired, one of the local banks can also be issued a payment card of international Visa or MasterCard international systems. Allows you to pay without problems for purchases on the Internet.
Or, for example, during future trips abroad, it is no secret that neither in Thailand, nor in Dubai, they do not accept the Mir cards. And any others issued by Russian banks, unfortunately, too.
The process of opening a card in Belarus for non -residents, however, has risen in price over the past year. So those who wish will have to pay about 9-12 thousand (Russian) rubles for the desired “plastic”. And to hope that the Belarusian bank that released him will not suddenly fall under Western sanctions.
But let’s not talk about sad – we’d better talk about where in November you can go from Minsk for a day or several.
Routes in Belarus
The most logical is the composite route providing for a visit to the pair of the most famous Belarusian castles: Mirsky and Nesvizh. The trip to Grodno is noticeably more tiring and long, where the old city is perfectly preserved – to him from Minsk along the highway about 300 km.
However, this is exactly the case when to sacrifice justified and reasonably. Again, on the way to Grodno, you can call in and inspect Lida. The city where the best beer is produced in Belarus (an excellent museum and its own Lidskoye bar are operating at the brewery) and Gedimin’s ancient castle was restored.
You can get to Grodno both by car and by bus, minibus, train. On the way you will spend 4 hours, tickets for the first two types of transport can be bought here – atlasbus.by. Another site is responsible for trains in Belarus – Pass.rw.by.
By the way, Citizens should plan a check -in In the village of Murovanka. Where the amazing temple-fortress of the 16th century survived, today occupied by the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Even further from Minsk (340 km) is Brest and the real symbol of Belarus – Belovezhskaya Pushcha. To visit which we will still recommend in the brighter season, for example, in May.
And here Kosovsky Castle or Palace of Puslovsky You can inspect at any time of the year. Like his colleague, the Ruzan Castle of Princes Sapeg, recovering from the ruins.
