Best time to visit Belarus

Belarus is a place lots of people visit almost all year round, but if you’re looking for the best time to go, April-May is definitely the time you should visit. This is based on a number of factors such as the weather, cost of flights and accommodation, peak travel periods and more.

In summer, the average maximum temperature in Minsk climbs to around 24℃ (75℉), but temperatures can sometimes reach as high as 28℃ (82℉) on the hottest days of the year. In the colder months such as January, temperatures usually get down to an average minimum of -8℃ (18℉). Temperatures often differ in other areas of Belarus though so you can find out more information about this below.

The longest days between sunrise and sunset in Belarus are usually in July, so if you want to get the most out of your daytime activities, be sure to plan your visit around this time. To stay dry, avoid travelling to Belarus in May – It’s the wettest month of the year.
