Trinity Suburb
Траецкае прадмесце
A reconstructed district of colourful 19th-century-style houses along the Svislach River, with cafés and small shops, ideal for photography.
Trinity Suburb is one of the few surviving historic districts in Minsk. Restored in the 1980s in the style of the 19th century, its coloured façades, pitched roofs and cobbled lanes line the river. Today it has cafés, restaurants, a literary museum and souvenir shops. From the riverbank you can look across to the Upper Town and the Holy Spirit Cathedral, and the view at dusk is especially lovely. Free admission. About a 10-minute walk from Niamiha metro station, and the Island of Tears is right next door.
