Worth knowing about Minsk
- Minsk National Airport's free Wi-Fi can only be unlocked with a PIN code sent by SMS, so an arriving traveller with no working mobile service cannot get online at the airport.
- The free airport Wi-Fi is capped at three hours per device per 24 hours.
- The airport is 42 km east of Minsk and the public bus to the central bus station takes about an hour.
- The rail link to the airport ran only from November 2014 to April 2017 and was permanently suspended, so bus, taxi or car are the only surface options today.
- The Minsk Metro opened in 1984 as the ninth metro system in the Soviet Union and now runs 3 lines and 36 stations.
