Minsk National Airport (code MSQ) is the country's main international gateway, roughly 40 km from the city centre — about a 40–50 minute drive depending on traffic.
Your transfer options
Taxi via the app — fastest, door to door
A taxi booked in Smile Go is the quickest, most comfortable option: it takes you straight to your hotel or address, the price is fixed before you confirm, and cars run 24/7 for early or late flights. The app works in English, so there's no language barrier when you land.
Airport bus — cheaper, to the centre
A public airport bus runs between MSQ and the city and is the budget choice. It drops you at a central transport hub rather than your door, and takes longer with stops — handy if you're travelling light and not in a hurry.
Tips for a smooth arrival
- Order on landing: book your car once you're through passport control, then head to arrivals and track it on the map.
- Set your exact destination so the fare is fixed for the whole ride.
- Night flights are fine: app taxis are available around the clock.
