Teave
Kiired faktid: Kõrglinna piirkond oli keskaegse Minski poliitiline ja usuline süda, kuhu asusid linnavolikogu ja jõukad kaupmehed. Siin seisab endiselt kolm endist linnaväravat: Ülestõusmise kiriku värav, bernardiinide kloostri värav ja Püha Vaimu katedraali kellatorni värav.
Esiletõstmised: Väljaku idaservas seisab 2004. aastal rekonstrueeritud punastest tellistest raekoda, täpselt samas kohas, kuhu algne ehitati pärast seda, kui Minsk sai 1499. aastal Magdeburgi õigused. Kui seista keskpäeval raekoja trepil, võid kohata väikest linna keskaegse pasunasignaali etendust, mis kunagi avas turupäevad.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Skip the tourist restaurants on the main square and walk two blocks down to Zybitskaya Street for better local food at half the price.
- The best photo spot is from the bell tower of the Holy Spirit Cathedral, which costs 3 BYN and gives a 360 degree view of the entire district.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes: the cobblestones are authentic 19th century and get slippery after rain.
- Check if there's a festival happening at the Town Hall square on weekends, they often have free craft markets and live folk music.
