Zybitskaya Street in Minsk is a vibrant and lively place, known for its rich atmosphere and numerous bars and cafes. With its rich history dating back to the 16th-17th centuries, this street was originally a center of trade. However, since 2013, it has begun transforming into a cultural and entertainment hub where people gather for socializing, fun, and relaxation.
Historical Background
The name of Zybitskaya Street comes from the swampy area where it is located. Over the centuries, various religious institutions were situated here, and by the 19th century, the street had acquired distinctive shops and workshops. At the end of the 20th century, many historical buildings were lost, and the street turned into a wasteland. However, in the 2010s, it began a new life as it became filled with modern eateries.
