"I was born and live in Mogilev. The city, of course, is not Brest or Minsk, there are not any special sights, BUT! In summer the city transforms: a lot of greenery, cozy streets and small cafes. There is a charm, a mystery. You come here not to see, but to relax from the hustle and bustle of big cities in shady parks or on the bank of the Dnieper and Dubrovenka. "

You can eat in cafes or restaurants. There are quite a lot of them, so choose the cuisine you like: Belarusian, Japanese, Italian, Eastern. Average dinner will cost you 8-12 BYN (4-6 $). Rooms in most hotels will cost 70-140 BYN (35-70 $).

By the way, on July 3 Mogilev will celebrate his birthday - 750 years. The first festive events will begin on June 28. All the weekend at once on several sites in Mogilev will be held various festivities. The celebration of the Day of the City and Independence Day will be completed with a big salute on July 3 at 23:00.
