Beautiful place

Level 21 Local Expert

This is not just an architectural monument, it is the heart of historical Minsk, a place where the spirit of the past comes to life. Its snow-white walls and towering tower create an image of elegance and grandeur. The Town Hall is a witness to the most important events in the history of the city. Today, restored from the ruins, it once again plays the role of a cultural center, attracting tourists and townspeople. Climbing the Town Hall tower is an opportunity to admire the panorama of the city, feel its rhythm and beauty. A visit to the Minsk City Hall is an immersion into the past, an opportunity to touch the history of the city. This is a place that leaves an indelible impression and causes pride in the cultural heritage of Belarus.

A beautiful square in the historical center of the city, the architectural "heart" of Minsk with a beautiful town hall in the center of the square. The main attraction of the Belarusian capital is rightfully the Upper Town, where Freedom Square and the Town Hall are located. We haven't been inside the building, it's been well restored from the outside. As part of a sightseeing tour of the city, a visit to this square is mandatory. A favorite place for tourists. Various festive events are held near the walls of the town Hall.

I haven't been inside the town hall, but the square where it is located is a very beautiful atmospheric place! You can feel the rhythm of the Old Town there! Beautiful bronze monuments (to Voight, coin minters and a coachman with a carriage)- be sure to take a picture!!! The square smoothly turns into a pedestrian zone of the city with many cafes and clubs.

A small cozy square with a beautiful town hall. There is a monument to the governor's carriage (with a pair of horses), a very beautiful carriage with a horse on the other side and an arch (in the evening they glow). At 12 p.m., a small theatrical performance, where it is proposed to pick up the keys to the city. A landmark place, the center of the Upper City.

The city Hall is located in the city center, near the main attractions: the main Orthodox Cathedral, the main Catholic cathedral, the old shopping malls. There were no town halls inside, everything was restored outside. With evening lighting in winter, a more fabulous view

The Town Hall Square is a place of strength of the city! Here you can feel the steps of Minsk's history, enjoy its medieval beauty. The restoration of the historical center was carried out with such love and skill that you are completely immersed in the times of Magdeburg law. And if you are not very interested in history, you can just take a walk, listen to music and the voices of happy vacationers. Musical evenings are held all summer on Saturdays near the town hall, with performances by the best bands of Belarus and an excellent repertoire. Come and enjoy! I recommend it 100%!

The building was very important from the point of view of the historical event that took place when Minsk was granted Magdeburg rights. A small exhibition. A thorough inspection will take no more than twenty minutes.

The city hall building is located in the historical center of the city, the architecture is interesting and quite unusual, inside there is a museum of the history of the city. The building has been recreated in a historical place, with monuments and souvenir shops around. Polite staff, interesting exhibition, worth a visit.

An interesting place. The place itself is very ancient, but all the buildings are fresh on old foundations, there are no ancient buildings here, everything was destroyed during the Second World War, first by the Germans when they took Minsk, and then by ours when they won it back. The exposition inside the town hall is small, but interesting. The main thing is a collection of copies of old maps that mark Minsk. A copy of the globe is very interesting, I hung around it for a long time)))) In addition, mostly letters and postcards from the late 19th- early 20th century. It is cool that the text - content is printed next to the postcards, because due to the handwriting and the age of paper and ink, it is almost impossible to read what is written there))))) The inspection takes 15-20 minutes, you can stretch for an hour if you read all the cards and letters)))))

We attended an absolutely free amazing New Year's performance at the Minsk City Hall!The actors tried their best, danced heartily, and smiled. The show lasts about 30 minutes. There were ballerinas and gymnasts. Mini fireworks. Congratulations from Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. A lot of people gathered. It was visible to everyone, as the stage was high and had several tiers. It was interesting for both children and adults. The staging and the idea that New Year's gifts and Christmas Tree toys also celebrate the New Year. Such free performances take place every year at the Town Hall. They begin on December 25 and end on January 7. Daily at 17:30 and 20:00 (it is always better to check the schedule in advance on the Internet). Every year they come up with something new - every year it's bright and colorful! Thanks to the organizers for the festive mood. I liked the show!❤️ Happy 2025 to us!

We arrived out of season, it was also raining, and there were not enough people to meet 2 mini excursions. The buildings were well restored, very wonderful, everything is clean, beautiful, neat. There are a lot of museums, there are restaurants, but it is not clear whether they worked or not, because they met very few people and did not see them coming in or out

It is worth going up to the observation deck, the view is magnificent!However, you will have to wait until a group of 4 people gathers.Of the minuses, on weekdays the last rise, if I'm not mistaken, is at half past five in the evening, everyone works until 17!!!!!I would like to see the night city, but probably the museum does not need money.The Town Hall museums are also worth a visit, preferably with a guide!There is something to see and be surprised at

The Minsk City Hall on Freedom Square is an expressive monument of classicism, worthy of the attention of any connoisseur of architecture. The building is associated with the acquisition of Magdeburg rights by the city in 1499 and has served as a symbol of city self-government and independence for many centuries. The town hall was originally built of wood, then, after the fires, of stone. At the end of the 18th century, the building acquired strict and harmonious features of classicism designed by architect Kramer: a laconic facade, symmetry, porticos with Ionic columns, a tower with a dome and a clock. In the 19th century, after Minsk lost its city liberties, the town hall was demolished by decree of Nicholas I. It was only at the beginning of the 21st century that the building was recreated in its historical place according to preserved drawings. Today, this snow-white, neat building with a 32-meter tower, clock and the coat of arms of the city is organically integrated into the ensemble of the square and is adjacent to two cathedrals. Inside there are museum expositions and halls for receptions. Architectural restraint, thoughtful composition and historical saturation of the space make the Minsk City Hall one of the most elegant and expressive buildings in the city.

If you come to Minsk, you definitely need to see the town hall live, as well as the old district near it! There is a monument right next to the town hall(?) in the form of a carriage drawn by two horses, you can take a photo in it for free, against the background of the town hall :) The building itself is very beautiful.

According to the town halls in Minsk, we need to figure it out. There are several of them in the center. Ancient and more modern. Both Town Halls are good, but very different from each other. This one is a gathering place for excursions....That's actually all you need to know about Big Tourism.)))

Thanks to the architects for creating the metropolitan city hall. Next to this necessary landmark, I served for the benefit of our Motherland. At that time, this object did not exist, but every time I walked through the square and knew about the history of the city, I thought when the Sign and Symbol of the city would be returned! It came true later, when I retired. Now we are proud of the Town Hall along with other sights of the capital.

Review of the organization of free summer excursions at the Minsk City Hall 08.06.24 at 15:30 The tour was conducted by the Milan tour guide. She had a very interesting, friendly and exciting tour, everything was wonderful, I really liked it 06/15/2024 at 15:30 1. The guide did not introduce herself, she immediately said that it would be hard to hear, since she was given such a microphone. Although it was normal to hear on the previous tour, perhaps Milana was just talking louder 2. Then it was said that she was not specifically paid for the tour, so bear with it, if you wanted to come on a free tour, they say you don't look a gift horse in the mouth 3. 80% of the tour was just a very quick run to show the branches of the museums related to the Minsk City Hall and advertise their visit. I'm not against advertising, but the topic of the tour was revealed only by 20% out of 100% 4. The guide literally ran through the basements of the former church with the words "You see there is nothing interesting here and why does everyone want to get here?" This is the first time I have met such outright indifference to my work. The excursion from 06/08/2024 was 1000% much more pleasant, more interesting, better and better! We ask the management of the Minsk City Hall to find material or other ways to stimulate the work of their employees on weekends. It may be possible to develop ways to assess the quality of the submitted excursion material and the goodwill of the guides so that those who are in their place receive decent pay for their work, and those who simply "serve hard labor" receive less for their "work". Who knows, maybe the vocation of the latter is to sit on a chair in the museum hall and keep order. And then they are also forced to conduct excursions This is by no means a criticism of the wonderful project, but a way to draw the attention of the City Hall leadership to the human factor

The town hall in Mogilev or any other city in Belarus is more interesting. The receptionist (caretaker), I don't know what to call it, is not particularly friendly. In general, you don't have to go in, there are 4 halls, there's not much to do there without a tour. Nemiga herself is much more interesting. And the Museum of the history of Minsk too.
