A very well planned train station, one of the Best. Warm and cosy during Winter, which makes waiting there more comfortable, by far, than in the stations of other certain european capitals. The main Cafe-Restaurant (on the third floor) has a good variety of food, including quite a few Great Vegan options, for a very good price. Also the Coffee spot on that floor, next to the doors to the waiting room, has a very goid Coffee. Good variety, of money changing spots and ATMs. There are only three things which requires improvement:
1 - The staff REALLY needs to know to speak English (I am a Language Teacher... just hinting... ;-) )
2 - There really should be more charging power-sockets for mobiles
3 - [Based upon my experience back on September 2023:] AVOID the automatic train tickets machine, as it is bound to sell you THE WRONG tickets!! Buy ONLY from human beings.
Nice train station with many routes. It’s easy to find your way around as you travel but be sure to take a moment to stand on the golden tile and make a wish!
A beautiful modern railway station in Minsk: it is always clean, good infrastructure of retail outlets of products of the "on the road" type, a huge selection of flowers for those who meet and not only, flowers from BelRoz at reasonable prices are always fresh and beautiful floristry of ready-made bouquets. I often take gorliniy trains to Rudensk - always on schedule, clean and comfortable!
But the schedule in the morning from Minsk has too long an interval from 9.25 am to 12.42 pm for almost 3.5 hours, I would like to halve the interval to at least 1.5 hours. This is especially necessary for the summer season. And so our capital station is the pride of the city at the level of world standards!
Overall impression:
The train station makes a pleasant first impression. The architecture of the building combines classical elements and modern solutions, which creates a cozy atmosphere. The space is clean and tidy, which certainly has a positive effect on the overall experience.
Infrastructure:
There are a good number of information boards at the station, where you can easily find flight schedules. It is also convenient that there are signs and navigation that helps you navigate. There are several cafes and shops inside the station where you can have a good time while waiting for the train. The prices are average, the food quality is acceptable.
Services:
I also noticed that the station offers various services such as luggage storage, wi-fi in the station, as well as access to charging stations for mobile devices. It is really very convenient for travelers.
Service:
The staff at the train station was polite and helpful. All questions were answered quickly and clearly, which helped me figure out the ticket purchase and departure time.
Transport accessibility:
The station is well connected to public transport. There are bus and tram stops around, as well as, importantly, the opportunity to call a taxi. This makes it much easier to move around the city.
Conclusion:
Overall, I was satisfied with my visit. This place is not only convenient for traveling by train, but also offers a comfortable waiting environment. I recommend it to those who are planning trips.
A perfect combination of railway and bus station. Very convenient. There's a shopping mall right there. It's just great. It is clear that they did it for the convenience of people. Thanks a lot to the people who are in charge of this place. I recommend using the luggage storage, if you have such a need, it costs absolutely adequate money. There was a big queue in the railway station building (maybe that's how we got there). Don't be lazy to walk to the end of the bus station building. There is a separate small building. The price is the same. Just pay attention to the opening hours, whether it suits you.
Minsk-Passazhirsky is not just a railway station; it is the heart of the city, where epochs and cultures meet. The station square, decorated with modern architectural solutions, welcomes travelers and creates an atmosphere of comfort and warmth. Here, the design is harmoniously combined with functionality.
The first thing that strikes is the majestic facade of the building, made in the style of modernism. Inside the station, there is organization and order: information boards, comfortable seats and a cafe where you can enjoy the aroma of freshly brewed coffee while waiting for your train. The staff is always ready to help, making your stay comfortable.
The square in front of the train station is a living spatial pattern. People rushing to different parts of the country and abroad mingle with tourists exploring the surroundings. Every step through this place feels like part of a great journey full of emotions and discoveries. Minsk is not just a passenger transport hub, but a place where the story of each new journey begins.
The station is equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable waiting for the train: cafes and restaurants with a wide selection of dishes, small stalls where you can buy souvenirs, drinks and snacks, ATMs and exchange offices, free Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms, spacious waiting rooms with comfortable seats. Minsk Passenger station is a modern, convenient and safe train station that leaves only positive impressions. It will be an excellent starting point for traveling around Belarus.
Clean, comfortable, bright, with wide aisles, decorated kiosks with delicious-smelling food, with friendly sellers. Inside the station with a more modern finish, without pathos but atmospheric. Everything is very clear. I felt comfortable here. Unfortunately, the phone ran out of battery and I couldn't take pictures anymore. I am from Russia with love for Belarus and its inhabitants
A wonderful place!!! the architecture is super...!!,👍🏻
Convenient geolocation...!🌍
there are a lot of food courts nearby...if you want to see the sights around the city. That's opposite the railway.There is a tour bus at the station (the tour is 2.30hours)...
Everything is very clean...👍🏻I won 't tell you about the kitchen..I've been to one place, but I didn't like anything....😞😞😞
But I will come again (it was the first trip) ...!!!!
I love Minsk with all my heart and soul. I often travel for work and travel. The station is convenient for traveling around the cities of Belarus, located in the city center. The swallow to Moscow time is just super!
There is a bus station next to the station.
Parking lots for cars are large.
There are no inspections like in Russia, the throughput is fast, the employees are all polite and friendly.
We reached Minsk from Moscow by swallow in seven hours, it was comfortable to drive. The station is clean, there are small grocery stores inside where Belarusian products are exclusively available. A good and not expensive luggage storage. The station square itself is very beautiful, there is a Belarusian McDonald's Mak nearby. by, where the potatoes are exceptionally tasty, and as a seasonal dish, a potato pie. The architecture of the forecourt is very atmospheric, it sticks in the memory, it was really nice to walk around it. It is located in the city center. I advise you to visit Minsk. In the first two photos, I wanted to capture that even the manholes near the vocals are clean, new and sparkling, I have not seen this before in Russia.
We built an excellent station building: large, spacious, with convenient exits to the tracks from the waiting room!
But ...
Navigation at the station and in the underpasses requires improvement, it is not always clear what is where
Especially the luggage storage
Ohhhh... The luggage room is worthy of a separate description: I looked 40 years younger and found myself at the Kazan railway Station in the 80s. There was a huge queue and two luggage storage workers who were in absolutely no hurry, and they also chased away a third person who had been sent to help them, saying a masterpiece phrase: it's not that easy for you here, you need to study here!!! Find a place, give out a token!
Despite the lost hour, I am still grateful to the Minsk railway station for being able to bring me back to my childhood! Once again, I was convinced that the most valuable thing there was age.
Minsk has a very beautiful train station! Whenever I come, I admire its beauty. Everything is convenient, there is a place to eat, buy delicious Belarusian chocolates as a gift. You can pay with a mir card if there is no national currency. There are also currency exchange offices at the station. And the women's toilet is so gorgeous! There are storage rooms.
A very nice start to exploring the city of Minsk. A place of meetings and breakups. Everything is well maintained, beautiful, modern. There are several banks across the street for buying or exchanging currencies. I haven't compared it, but it seems like the course in the train station itself is sometimes worse than across the street. There is a hotel nearby. A large shopping center, with everything you need. Souvenirs, basic necessities, clothes, food. There are still many flower shops in the tunnel selling Belarusian roses, which are good and long-lasting. The station is well monitored, police officers are always nearby, everything is always cleaned. There are special smoking areas. There is a paid parking lot opposite the train station, it's better to get acquainted, but if I'm not mistaken, it's free after 18.00 - and if you're lucky, there's a place here.
Great for a short stay . Wheelchair accessible. Has toilet and food stores . It even has storage room where we can store our luggage and collect it later . The storage room services are paid though . Only issue is there's no place to sleep like there are no sleeping pods or chair where we can lie down. Otherwise it's a good train station.
Great for short-term stays. Wheelchair accessible. There is a toilet and grocery stores. There is even a luggage room where we can leave our luggage and pick it up later. Luggage storage services are paid. The only problem is that there is no place to sleep, as there are no sleeping capsules or chairs where we can lie down. Otherwise, it is a good railway station.
Almost everything at the train station is perfectly thought out, wherever you go.
Clean, constantly maintain order, for which many thanks to the staff. Beautiful interiors, while waiting for the train for a short night, you can wander around and look at various details of the decoration in the waiting room. You can charge your phone, buy food at any time. It's lovely, cozy. The guards patrol the area, I like it - it gives a sense of security.
The station is beautiful, there are many cafes and small shops with everything you need, there are pharmacies, and other shops. There 's also a subway . The building is expected to be spacious, and it also houses a burger king and other shops. The train station has everything you need for the journey . There is also a lot in the area, 3 minutes from the train station. The staff is working well. Parking is available for both paid and free. The trains are different, almost all are comfortable.
A beautiful, modern train station. With the number of passengers in this room, everything is very clean and tidy. I was pleased with the availability of charging tables, low prices for snacks, and a comfortable waiting room. There is a huge queue at the luggage room, but this is not surprising, I have already mentioned the number of people))))
I want to say separately about the evening view of the city, it's great!
A wonderful train station in the capital of Belarus. Immediately from the train you get into an atmosphere of friendliness and comfort. All floors and platforms can be reached by elevators or escalators. Information on trains is available on large screens, the luggage storage is conveniently located on the ground floor - I was struck by the price - 1 place is 30 Russian rubles, and in Moscow - 450 rubles! Opposite the toilet - cleanliness and comfort!
The building of the modern railway station is stunning and built in a modern style, but the beauty of the building is greatly admired in MINSK. In my opinion, this is an archetypal masterpiece , and it was built in 1953 . Yes, time, tastes, architecture are changing, and people and their views are changing. In the routine of everyday life, no one will even see, and many do not even know where the GATES of MINSK are located and their special individuality with the surrounding buildings..
A fully functional railway station with a history from 1873, then it was called "Vilensky". Like everything that has a long history, the railway station in Minsk is a historically interesting place. After the last reconstruction (2000), the station faithfully serves visitors to the Belarusian capital and those who travel in transit. In recent years, I have been regularly using the Lastochka high-speed train between the capitals of the Union States and I am happy to travel between the cities of Moscow and Minsk. The Swallow always arrives on the 1st track, closest to the passage to the station building and then to the Forecourt. The station building has waiting rooms, places for a "snack", toilets and small shops with goods for the road. Clean, comfortable. Travel for your health!
A large, convenient and well-organized train station, everything in it is in its place!
Clean, warm, calm and bright!
Large and colorful displays, there are convenient charging points for phones, there is an escalator for exiting the platform, luggage storage, a currency exchange office, as well as shops and cafes
The station looks very beautiful, well-maintained and modern. The cleanliness and order here is simply at the highest level! The staff is polite and helpful, always ready to help and answer all questions. The navigation is simple and intuitive. The station is equipped with everything necessary for travelers: information boards with train schedules, ticket offices, waiting rooms, toilets, shops, cafes, has convenient exits to platforms, travelators and many more things. Thanks to such a wonderful train station, trips become even more pleasant and comfortable. I'll be happy to come back here next time. I recommend all travelers to visit this wonderful train station.
Minsk IS A SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL CITY!!! WE WILL TRAVEL AS A FAMILY EVERY YEAR!!! A lot of interesting things, the people are friendly, calm, very friendly! I also advise you to visit the LYDIA restaurant! INSANELY DELICIOUS FOOD!!! IN A WORD, I ADVISE YOU TO GO TO THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY!!!!!!!!!
A beautiful, modern, cozy and clean train station. Everything is very conveniently located.
Information navigation at the highest level. Excellent access to the platforms. When you come to Minsk, you feel a sense of pride for your beloved country, for our people and your beloved city.
It is very conveniently located. Near the metro, bus station. The city center and the sights are within walking distance. There are many places of rest at the station itself. A variety of food outlets, cafes, restaurants. There are two large shopping malls and a food mall on both sides. Paid parking.
Minsk Railway Station is beautiful. Comfortable, clean, bright, with a large waiting room, convenient exits to trains, numerous ticket offices (and vending machines for suburban routes), easy navigation. And what views open up when you go out! Excellent transport facilities (tram, metro, trolleybuses, buses, minibuses). Near the bus station, shopping malls!!! One disadvantage is the paid toilet. But! But what a 🫶🤣🤍
I really like the building and the location! Everything is well organized! Informative, understandable. There are many interesting objects, useful and inexpensive services. You can recharge your phone, have a meal at the cozy Pososhok cafe. I love this train station and I really like Minsk!
The place is very beautiful, there is a wonderful Asian restaurant at the top of the shopping center, just below there is a very beautiful, delicious cornflower restaurant, everything is very tasty, there is also a pizzeria and many clothing stores, it is very beautiful in the evening, the lanterns glow so much, Minsk just opens from the other side
A spacious, modernly equipped building. Clear signs, working escalators, ready-made food available around the clock (pies, buns, sweets, drinks). Comfortable waiting rooms (you won't be able to lie down, but it's quite comfortable to sit). There are rest rooms and luggage storage facilities. A clean and tidy toilet, where there is a vending machine with everything you need. You can buy printed materials. There are vending machines for commuter tickets.
I liked it very much.
I was pleased with the large playroom for children with a large upholstered sofa, a house, a mini dry basin and a functional mother and child room, which, however, does not provide beds and is open from 8.00 to 21.00.
There is an opportunity to spend the night, but I do not know exactly how in detail, as we did not need to. I note that there is no game room at Yaroslavsky railway station, but there is a bunk room with a shared kitchen.
But the most necessary things, boiling water, a microwave, a sink, a high chair, an armchair, are all available and helped me a lot to wait out the gap between transport
A very beautiful and clean train station! Stunning interior, lots of shops with an adequate price and a decent assortment. We accidentally found a children's room, it helped us out a lot, they were already falling off their feet. Thank you for thinking about moms with kids
I really liked the train station
Clean, modern 🆕
There are a lot of places to go for a snack. The station staff is responsive and kind. They are always ready to help.
The station itself is in a very beautiful location. 👍👍👍
My rating is five stars
