The Main Street of Minsk: Audioguide

Praspiekt Niezaležnasci is a 15 kilometers long city artery, the main showcase and highlight of the capital. Together with MTS we continue our podcast series about Minsk. Put a couple of sandwiches in a backpack and head for an amazing journey along the street, which runs through the whole city.

A living utopia, a perfect, wide and sunny street with palaces, parks, fountains and embankments – that's how architects and urbanists, fathers of Minsk Praspiekt Niezaležnasci, imagined it. Completely wiped off the face of the Earth and reborn, built almost with bare hands, this architectural phenomenon excites the imagination. It's not just a street, it's an idea... a dream... a fantasy.

Download our podcast in English and let's go find the utopia together!
