Frunze Culture and Rest Park.

Frunze Culture and Rest Park | Parks and Public Gardens | Vitebsk - AttractionsEach of us quite often asks "How to spend the weekend? Where to go?" I do not think I could give a universal answer to this question, but I`d love to answer the question "Where to go in Vitebsk?" To be alone, to get thoughts together, to feel united with nature, or simply to spend free time with the family, enjoying the quiet murmur of the river, a slight rustle of trees and the calming view of the surrounding landscape. Attractive? Then Frunze Culture and Rest Park is for you.

Frunze Culture and Rest Park | Parks and Public Gardens | Vitebsk - AttractionsGenerally in Vitebsk there are enough parks, but Frunze Park is perhaps one of the most colorful and beloved. It always pleases you with its beauty. Juicy, bright green, through which the chirping of birds sounds in spring; pleasant cool in the shade of old trees in summer; soft, like spangles, snowdrifts, sparkling in the sun in a winter sunny day; a whispering kaleidoscope of leaves in autumn ... Whatever time you have not looked here, it, like a good old friend, will be glad to see you.

In the XX century the Jesuit College in Vitebsk, which was in modern Liberty Square and a part of Frunze Park, was located the bishop's house. Therefore, this park was originally known as Bishops. And only in 1926, this Vitebsk park got the name, which is now known to every Vitebsk resident – Frunze Culture and Rest Park, in the name of the famous political and military leader.
