Be careful! Avoid taxi drivers at the airport entrances!
In fact, they are legal, but their rates for a taxi from the airport to the city centre are unreasonably high. To clarify, these taxi drivers wait at the airport entrance with badges marked “TAXI”, they have walkie-talkies and offer a taxi to the city centre. It should be remembered that the cost of the trip to the city centre with these drivers is 2 or more times higher than a pre-booked car, and can reach 100 euros. We regularly read a lot of stories on the TripAdvisor forum about travelers who fell into this trap and paid 50 euros and more. Unfortunately, it seems like travellers keep falling into this trap. So, please be careful and try to avoid these drivers by all means.
In contrast to our company, these taxi drivers do not speak English, their cars are usually older 10 years old or more and they haven’t got insurance, and this means that in case of a traffic accident you would not get any insurance payments.
Getting from Minsk Airport to the City Centre by Public Transport
If you are not ready to pay for a taxi in that case you can get from airport to the city centre by public transport. The first thing to remember are that bus route numbers 300Э and shuttle minibus 1400TC/1430TC go from Minsk airport to the city centre with only one stop at the Urucca metro station on the route. The final stop is located at the Central Bus Station (Centralniy). For this reason, public transport is not a good deal if your destination point is located far away from the Urucca metro station or the central bus station.
At the same time it is a truly perfect option if your destination is the Central Train Station, as the Central Bus Station is located 100 meters from the railway station (Minsk Passazhirskiy).
