Mindful meoweler tips

Belarusian hospitality

Belarusians are incredibly welcoming to cats. They will often invite you into their homes and offer food and drink.

Orthodox architecture

The city is full of stunning Orthodox churches with ornate domes and facades. Be sure to admire them from the outside, but remember not to disturb any worship or ceremonies taking place inside.

Try the Krambambula

This traditional Belarusian drink is made with honey, spices and vodka. It's strong, sweet and delicious!

The Neman River

The Neman flows through Hrodna and offers lovely riverside walks. You may spot some local cats fishing or swimming in the river.

Visit the Old Castle

The Old Castle is a historic fortress that dates back to the 11th century. Despite its name, it's actually quite a new castle compared to other European castles!
