If you hold competitions in the density of the population among the cities of Belarus, then the bronze medal for an honorable third place will be officially given to Mogilev. This large regional center, the capital of the eponymous region, has been leading its history since the 13th century. At different times, the number of its inhabitants was then reduced after wars, then increased when adversities receded. And in our time the number of people on the streets of Mogilev becomes larger on weekends, holidays and in the holiday season due to tourists traveling to this Belarusian city on four rivers.

How to get here
It's quite easy to get here, but unfortunately, it can not come yet. The airport of the city is in a deplorable state, and in 2010 was forced to rent out some halls for rent to various enterprises. However, the future employees of the airport look with great optimism and hope that in the near future the passenger communication with the capital of Belarus and other countries will be adjusted.

Cuisine and restaurants of Mogilev
The first thing to say about the food in Mogilev is that there is no "McDonald's" in the city. Moreover, the city authorities declare their categorical refusal to build it in the near future. Fans of hamburgers, of course, will be upset, but hardly for long, because here you can taste delicious and inexpensive at many cafes, restaurants, pizzerias and confectionery.
You can drink coffee with sweets, donuts and other pastries at the cafeteria "Buffet" (Komsomolskaya St., 5), rumored not too inferior to the famous "Starbucks", in "Da Vinci", "Blindage", "Star Square", "Intrigue " etc.
Nourishing and tasty food is served in pancakes: "Pancake Smetanych" (Shmidt Ave., 28) and "Pancake country" (32 Pervomaiskaya Street). Pizzerias "Grand", "Bravo", "Pan-Pizza" and "Parmesan" offer a huge selection of dishes of Italian cuisine (one pizza of 40 kinds!). Restaurants "Gourmet", "Near Maxim" and restaurants "Dnepr", "Korchma", "Izba" and others are fed mainly with dishes of European and national cuisine.

The choice of goods in Mogilev is the same as in all of Belarus. Here you can buy wonderful Belarusian jersey and linen products, excellent quality cosmetics with natural ingredients and souvenirs in national style. Of course, not counting clothes, shoes and equipment. You can make purchases as in boutiques and branded shops (Areola, Season, Milavitsa), and in shopping centers. These include "Magnet" on the street. Pervomayskaya, 34 / a, City-Center (Pozharny Lane, 19), Preston, Panorama (10 Krylenko St.), Present at 27 Shmidta Avenue, and many others.
Entertainment, excursions and sightseeing Mogilev
Despite its densely populated area, Mogilev is a very cozy city. Here you can just walk along the pedestrian street of Lenin and the restored embankment, or wander through the parks and streets of the city, admiring the numerous sculptures. Of course, not forgetting to see the local sights, which include the church of St. Stanislaus, the chapel of St. Paraskeva Pyatnitsa, the most beautiful St. Nicholas Cathedral and other religious and historical buildings (for example, the city hall).
Visit the museum to them. Maslennikov, located in the historic building of the former peasant land bank, the museum of Byalynitsky-Biruli, the museum of local lore and others. And, maybe you want to visit Mogilev on the days when the annual festival of sacred music "Magutny Bozha", "Golden Hit" or Animation Animation Festival is held there?
If your children (or yourself) suddenly get bored with this cognitive program, go for a walk to the local zoo or go to an ethnographic village - an open-air museum, located just 2 km from the city.
Yes, and do not forget to go to the Square of the Stars! Not only to see the "stars" of outstanding citizens, but in order to firmly grasp the finger of the statue of the astrologer (below, on his leg, he is already noticeably different in color from the others), sitting near the telescope, and make a wish. Now it will surely come true! Photo by Mogilev (11)
