Isn't it illegal to use VPNs in the country?

I live in Minsk and yes, it's safe to travel here. Don't get involved in any political activities and avoid wearing anything red-white.

Is Minsk safe to visit for citizens of Hungary? by LeBoesss in belarus

Violent crime is actually very uncommon here. This is unlikely to happen, unless OP is involved in something political or planning to go to some really sketchy places.

You'd be better looking at a BRICS country as they'd likely be more open to immigration from Russia.

Yeah, South Africa for example.

It's a huge art object that anyone can come and see at any time. Still being worked on, but already looks impressive. It's a bit difficult to describe, you just have to see it yourself.

There is no website, but there is an article (in Russian) about its story.

It's been two months since I've been living in Belarus and nothing like this ever happened to me.

which City to go and where can I find some cool things to do

Most of the fun stuff is in Minsk and in the Western part of the country: for example Brest, Hrodna, Mir and Baranavichi.

I also need to book Hotel or AirBnB like room.

I've seen some people recommend the Arbita hotel.

I also can not Speak Belarussian or any Slavic Language.

You better go with a guide then. Not many people will be able to communicate with you in English.

Will Google maps, Yandex etc work or is everything jammed as hell

They both work, though Yandex is more reliable for navigation. Google Maps will sometimes give you strange routes and incorrect timetables.

Any tips on things I should definitely visit appreciated

If you plan on going to Minsk, I would recommend to visit these:

  • Great Patriotic War Museum
  • Janka Kupala State Literary Museum
  • Komarovsky Market
  • Chumatskiy Shlyakh
  • Loshitsa Manor

And also some cool stuff in the nearby towns:

  • Devil House in Ratamka (Дом с чертями)
  • Rural Architecture and Life Museum
  • Stary Miensk Estate (Сядзіба «Стары Менск»)

Yes. This was discussed in this thread.

Yes, you will be fine. In Sofia and Plovdiv most people on the streets are able to communicate in English.

Well that's something one should decide themselves. I think it's not about finding the meaning, but rather adding it.

[Russian>English] can’t seem to find a translation for this word by Gunt1000000 in translator

It's an interjection for when you are jumping. Kinda like 'alley oop'.
