TOUR PROGRAMME
This tour will start from the Belarus Hotel*** - Minsk, 15 Storozhovskaya str.
DAY 1 - You will definitely remember beautiful landscapes and fascinating history of the settlements on the way to Grodno. Arrival at LIDA. The city is rightly proud of the most monumental CASTLE in Belarus, founded almost seven hundred years ago (1323) by Grand Duke Hedymin, whose grandson Vladislav II Yagailo will celebrate his marriage to Princess Sofia Golshansky a century later. A tour in the castle courtyard will allow you to plunge into the enchanting depths of the past - this castle is one of the most valuable monuments of the defensive architecture of Belarus. Arrival in Grodno around 13.30, LUNCH and hotel accommodation.

GRODNO SIGHTSEEING TOUR. The leading role in its historical-cultural heritage is played by the remarkable architectural ensembles of different epochs and styles. The buildings of the Grodno architectural school of the XII century are found side by side with the buildings of modernism and constructivism of the XX century and what is more - Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Classicism… The most monumental and elegant Church of Grodno - the Farny Church (former Jesuistic) - impresses by the greatness of the frontage and sculptural luxuriance of the interior. At the streets parting from the former Market place there are the extant buildings of numerous monasteries - Catholic (Bernardine, Brigid, Franciscan) and Orthodox, as well as mansions of noblemen.

Excursion to the CASTLE HILL in Grodno which is located on the bank of Neman. Grodno used to be the capital of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, lots of life-changing events in the history of our country are associated with this city. One of the oldest churches of Belarus - the Kolozhskaya church (XII century) - is situated near the Hill. The Royal gothic castle (so called Old Castle) was built in Grodno during the reign of Vytautas - the ruler of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. At the end of the 16th century Stephen B?thory, king of Poland, rebuilt it into the renaissance castle, which had played a significant role in the history of the state. The New Castle (18th century) is located nearby, where dramatic events of the second and third partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth took place - so-called "Silent sejm".
Grodno is populated by people of different nationalities; many Jewish people lived there in the old days. We will visit the SYNAGOGUE of Grodno which was renovated not long ago. The tour will end on the main pedestrian street of Grodno - Sovetskaya, which has retained the charm and sophistication of the old town thanks to the wrought-iron balcony bars, the bright coloring of houses, the presence of numerous cafes with ancient interiors and delicious desserts. A walk here will allow you to adequately complete a day full of impressions and make good photos... Free time. Overnight stay in Grodno.

DAY 2 - Buffet breakfast. Check-out. The most complete information about the life of the city in past centuries is presented in the cozy MUSEUM OF THE HISTORY OF RELIGION, which contains an impressive collection of artifacts.
