Grodno Halal Travel Guide

Thit is a very pleasant town, with a nice pedestrian area and central square worth a visit, but it may remind you more of western Europe than the former Soviet Union until you get out of the center. There are still some interesting remnants of the Soviet perioid which might be hard to find elsewhere, such as Lenin statues or some street names.

There are plenty of buses and trolley buses going around town. In the evenings though and they get down to travelling on the outskirts once an hour or two. A ticket for a trip costs BYN0.13. Buy the tickets from kiosks near the bus stops. If you speak no Russian, just say "Talony," and hold up fingers to indicate how many.

When you get on the bus, find a grey metal device that they have near the windows, put your ticket in and clamp down on it with a little lever next to it. Then, it is validated and if a ticket controller comes in, you will get no fine.

Taxis are affordable and plentiful: taxi trips within the city cost about BYN5.00.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Grodno

• Bike. The relatively flat and beautiful landscape around Grodno present a good place to bike. When planning your biking trip, use OpenStreetMaps based app, such as / mapy.cz, as these seem to have the best coverage.

Shopping

Booze (especially vodka), cigarettes and petrol are the most popular articles to buy among tourist from the west. These are much cheaper than Poland or Lithuania due to the small excise duty. Also other articles are cheaper, but not that remarkably. You can find numerous large wester style shopping malls in Grodno and surrounding area. When buying petrol and there is no need to look for the best price, as these are the same at all petrol stations. Also, you have to bay for you petrol before fueling. If you tank got full before you could spend all the money paid in advance, go back to the petrol station and ask them to get your money back. No language skills need for this, as the petrol station staff will understand what you want.

Be sure not to exceed the import duty. From outside EU (Belarus), you can import only 10 packages of cigarettes, 1 liter of booze and only the petrol that fits into your vehicle tank, no canisters allowed. Of course, you can bring more if you are willing to fill the declarations form and pay some tax. You can see a lot of people smuggling excess amounts of these articles, but this can not be recommended, as the border controls are sometimes quite through.
