Psychedelic Houses, Giant Lizards and Eifel Tower: Alternative Minsk Sightseeing Tour
Belarusian mobile network operator Velcom offers an unusual sightseeing tour “Vkedah.”
The tour includes not common tourist sights, but the “alternative” ones, offered by the Internet users on Velcom’s community in social media.
Nasha Niva correspondents took a sightseeing bus ride around “another Minsk.”
Unknown architects installed these strange animals: a giant tod, fish, lizard...
The passenger compartment has much yellow — the brand colour of Velcom
Another tour stop is “Old Graffiti Museum”
A whole block of such houses keeps tightly to the US’s psychedelic traditions of the 60s
The police will arrive within 7 minutes
However, a square meter of these apartments starts from $2,100
Minsk has its own Eifel Tower
Yet, it is not tall and hidden behind giant blocks of flats
