Vitebsk is a city with a rich history and artistic soul, located on the banks of the Western Dvina. This is a place where ancient streets and spacious squares, spiritual centers and creative energy associated with the name of Marc Chagall intertwine. The atmosphere of Vitebsk keeps traces of different eras: from medieval buildings to classicism of the XVIII century and the merchant scale of the XIX century, and walks along the embankment and narrow streets give a feeling of living history.
Man-made sights of Vitebsk amaze with diversity: a monument to the heroes of the Patriotic War of 1812, a monument to Marc Chagall in the courtyard of the house-museum, monuments to Pushkin and other figures, as well as the majestic Governor’s Palace and the City Hall. The central highways - Lenin, Pushkin, Tolstoy and Suvorov streets - store architectural pearls and cozy facades, and the Kirov and Pushkin bridges connect the banks and become favorite points for walks. In the religious landscape, the Holy Dormition Cathedral, the Holy Intercession Cathedral, the Holy Spirit Women's Monastery and a number of ancient churches stand out, and the Zdravravnevo estate near Vitebsk reminds of the work of I.E. Repin.
