Shopping opportunities in Belarus
The state is one of the largest multifunctional shopping and entertainment centers. Shopping centers offer visitors a vibrant mix of culture and shopping.
Stores typically sell a wide range of indigenous, folk-related products, such as matryoshka dolls, hand-painted wooden spoons, and knick-knacks fashioned from straw and flax.
Jewelry boxes and linen goods, such as tablecloths and napkins, are also popular, in addition to Belarusian ceramics. Locally-produced chocolate is of good quality, with the most popular brands being Kommunarka and Spartak. Check out the average pricing here for most basics.
