Vitebsk is The Most Beautiful City in The World

Vitebsk is The Most Beautiful City in The World

I’m from Belarus, and Vitebsk is my native town.

Of all the towns and cities I had a chance to visit the only place where I feel peaceful and comfortable is my native town. According to ancient scripts Vitebsk was founded more than one thousand years ago by princess Olga. During its long history the city faced many defeats and victories, many times it was entirely burnt down but each time it rose up like Phoenix in the freshness of youth and remained alive. Unfortunately very few historical structures have survived and we hope that many of them will be restored in future. Vitebsk has many tourist attractions. The old centre of the town with the clock tower, narrow streets, Uspenskaya hill attract more and more tourists. The Dvina river with its picturesque banks adds to the beauty of the city.

Vitebsk is also a place of cultural interest. There are several cinemas, concert halls, two theatres in the city as well as recreation centres, where people can play sports.

Many talented people and men of achievements were born and began their creative activity here. Among them there are such world famous artists as Marc Chagall, Malevich, Pen, Zaborov, a prominent musician Solertinsky and others. The cultural traditions of the city are in constant progress and Vitebsk has become a place of different international festivals, for instance the annual festival of classical music after Solertinsky, pop music festival called Slavyanski Bazaar, Marc Chagall and Repin summer plenar and the festival of modern choreography. The citizens enjoy visiting numerous picture galleries including Marc Chagall art centre.

In general Vitebsk is a typical modern city with numerous educational establishments and offices, high buildings and crowded streets. The inhabitants of the city are friendly and hospitable and always eager to show respect and interest to the people who come to visit it.
