## What to see in Vitebsk in one day

The morning is the left bank of the Western Dvina and the churches on the hill, and the town hall at 11:00 when the museum opens. After lunch — Suvorov Street, the palace and the Chagall house.

Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate.

## Chagall's Vitebsk

The house museum at 11 Pokrovskaya is small: 40–60 minutes for the family rooms. Open Tuesday to Sunday 11:00–19:00, ticket office until 18:30.

## Getting to the centre

From the station to the town hall is 15–20 minutes on foot over the Kirov Bridge, or by bus or trolleybus to the Ratusha stop.

## What else to see in Vitebsk

The [Summer Amphitheatre](https://yesgo.io/belarus/vitebsk/vitebsk-summer-amphitheatre) is the main stage of the Slavianski Bazaar; without a concert you are not always let into the bowl.

## Tips

- The town hall and the Chagall house are closed on Mondays.
- The town hall tower climb is separate, 8 BYN.
- Dress modestly for the churches: they are working churches.
- The best view of the Dvina is from the Assumption Cathedral on the hill.
- Belarus uses the Belarusian rouble (BYN). Cards are widely accepted; check before the trip that yours works in Belarus, or change cash at a bank.
