Belarus' own longstanding lingerie brand is doing exceptionally well all over Europe, and is especially popular with female shoppers in its Eastern countries. Milavitsa's products boast a well-deserved good reputation for their quality and affordable pricing.
Shopping
Francysk Skaryna is Minsk’s main shopping drag. Apart from the quintessential painted wood souvenirs, Belarus is famous throughout the former Soviet-bloc for its ladies lingerie brand Milavitsa. Other products to look out for include Belarusian vodka, which is well-regarded both locally and internationally. An unusual local edible to try is the "salo" - cured animal fat to be consumed on its own or paired with dark bread (a large assortment can be found at the central food market, Kamarovsky).
