Detailed • Bilingual • Double-Sided • Laminatable
Navigate one of Eastern Europe’s most enigmatic countries with the newly updated Belarus ITMB Map — a richly detailed and intelligently designed travel map ideal for explorers, planners, and map collectors alike. Whether you’re preparing for overland travel between the Baltic and Russia, tracing Cold War history, or simply fascinated by the lesser-travelled corners of Europe, this map provides both utility and insight.
🧭 Overview
Belarus may often sit quietly in the shadow of its larger neighbours, but it offers a complex and captivating story of resilience, independence, and heritage. Once part of the former Soviet Union, today Belarus is an independent nation — rich in forests, lakes, castles, Orthodox churches, and vast steppe landscapes. This second edition from ITMB dramatically improves upon earlier versions with revised topographic clarity, bilingual labeling, and a new city plan of Minsk.
