When to go
The best time to visit Belarus is
summer, from June to August. The days are very long, the temperatures are mild, and at times, even hot during the day, while nights remain cool. During hot and muggy days, some thunderstorms can develop, especially in the afternoon or in the evening.
The month of February will be preferable to visit the country in its
winter appearance because it has longer days than December, even though it's still cold and snowy.
What to pack
In
winter: bring very warm clothes, a fleece, a parka, a hat, gloves, a scarf, and warm boots.
In
summer: bring light clothes, T-shirts and shorts, but also long pants, a jacket and a sweatshirt for the evening and for cool days, and a raincoat or umbrella.
