There are not many alternatives to get to the city from Minsk Airport. In fact, there are only three alternatives:
- Bus: connecting the airport to Minsk's central bus station, where it will be necessary to reach the first metro station called "Uručča".
- Public Taxi: Cars are available in the airport arrivals area, but this is not always the best solution, as their fares vary according to the meter and there are many taxi drivers who change the route or try to deceive tourists.
- Private Taxi: Private taxis must be booked in advance through the online form on this page or by calling customer service. With this type of service, the cost of the transfer is fixed and you will also receive the reception directly inside the airport.
Once you reach the central area of the city, you can easily explore the most important attractions on foot or by taking advantage of the metropolitan service.
