Tips
The people at the airport were friendly beyond words. The medical insurance costs one euro per day and you get it straight ahead: no questions asked, you just go to the office and the only thing you have to say is how many days you’re planning to stay. And, of course, none of the passengers was sent back to his/her country of origin.
The police presence is super discreet and there is no need to worry. This is not 1984 and all the hype about safety in Belarus is probably due to what we read and see in the West.
After buying my medical insurance, I went straight to the money exchange. In Belarus, you don’t pay a commission when you exchange money. How cool is that?
