Restaurants and Bars
The first thing that comes to mind, if you want to celebrate a holiday outside the house – all kinds of restaurants and bars, which in Minsk are hundreds, if not thousands. The capital offers restaurants for every taste and budget: from an Irish pub to a cozy bakery. Many of them offer special New Year programs, and some restaurants have already set prices: for example, to celebrate the New Year in the restaurant “Kukhmistr” will cost 240 rubles per person, in “Plan B” – from 120 rubles.
In the “Plan B” for the celebration of the New Year prepared a festive program with a real Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, karaoke and disco. Food and entertainment are included in the price.

Bathhouses and Saunas
Meet the New Year in the sauna will be even cheaper than in most restaurants – approximately from 80 rubles per person – and in many cases more fun and heartfelt. We recommend the sauna “Gracia”, which was recognized as the best sauna in the city. There are 2 steam rooms and a small swimming pool for dipping. In the recreation area – a large banquet table, audio and video equipment, sun loungers on which you can relax after the steam room, a kitchenette with everything you need. In the street there is a covered arbor with barbecue facilities.
We also recommend the bathhouse “Ban’ka-Luban’ka” (village El’nica, Shabany), because you will be provided with a large steam room, a swimming pool, two lounges with a fireplace, audio and video equipment and a dining room, a closed courtyard, a convenient parking lot. The bath is heated with birch firewood, so the steam there is especially good, and the water in the pool has the right temperature.
For connoisseurs of the premium segment, we recommend the men’s wellness club “Evo” wiht russian bathhouse. Visiting on a par with all the clients of the club, but there is a vip-room for rest with a capacity of up to 10 people. Kamenka for the bath was made up by specialists from the Moscow guild of stoves. The bath is heated, however, with gas. But there are two and a half tons of pig iron, which are heated from the furnace almost reddish and then within 24 hours they give out the most pleasant steam.
Agro-homesteads
The prices for renting a farmstead even far from Minsk seem sky-high, but if you go by a big company, the cost becomes comparable to a New Year’s night at a restaurant or hotel, and sometimes even cheaper.
The homestead “Dary Velesa” in the Minsk region offers a rent for $210 per day in the period from December 31 to January 3. In a company of 10 people, it turns out, everyone will pay $21 per day. The price includes breakfast and lunch, but the New Year’s banquet is paid separately – $25.
Some estates offer rent not for rent, but for the whole New Year period. For example, the “Solnechnaya Dolina” estate – $1000 for the period from December 30 to January 2 ($1000 for 3 days – $333 per day), baths are free of charge. The farmhouse accommodates 10 people, that is, every vacationer in a large company will pay $33 per day.
Another proposal – also from December 31 to January 2 – three-tier house “Maentak Ulese” on the company to 22 people for $500 per day. That is from $23 per day per person. Promise a bath, billiards, air hockey, karaoke and a spacious banquet hall. The house is places at the forest, in a quiet place. It is ideal, yea?
Hotels
If you decide to celebrate the New Year in the hotel, then for some time you will feel like a tourist in your own city. And to some extent it’s even nice. Plus such a holiday in its complexity: you will spend the night in a comfortable room, have dinner in a good restaurant surrounded by pleasant people, and in the morning there is nothing better than a good breakfast and swimming in the hotel pool, when you don’t need to wash dishes and your house.
Pay attention to the “President Hotel” and “Renaissance Hotel”. Cooks in Renessance have made special New Year menu. Recall also that the standard number for 1 adult is 440 rubles per day, for two adults it costs 710 rubles.
The price includes the New Year’s program, as well as late breakfasts on 1 January. In addition to accommodation, guests can visit the swimming pool, gym, sauna and jacuzzi.
