If you travel to Minsk with a child, or if there is still a child in you, go to the circus! The circus in Minsk operates almost year round, it is a lot of fun and great entertainment even if you do not understand Russian. You can see highlights of a recent circus performance on video at the website below:

The most amazing collection of retro family entertainment. The Zoo took several hours to get round. Next door is the - pleasantly affordable - indoor circus (very 'foreign' feeling, although the ticket sellers do speak some English. Beware that they do include animals, some borrowed from the zoo!).

Next to this is a great amusement park (Vidám Park) with an old-fashioned feel which could well have have kept us amused for a full day, if we'd had the time. The wooden rollercoaster is great, even for our four year old. Do bear in mind that Hungarians have a more relaxed approach to health and safety that in the UK!

Metro line no 1 (yellow line) to Szechenyi furdo.
