Vitebsk

Vitebsk’s regional airport, often referred to as Vitebsk Vostochny, opened in the mid-20th century (around the 1960s) and operates from a single small terminal that handles primarily domestic and seasonal charter flights. This compact facility is the city’s main air link, useful for visitors attending events like the Slavianski Bazaar or exploring northern Belarus, and sits roughly 10–15 km from the historic center with straightforward road access by taxi, occasional buses or marshrutkas and easy car rental options. Not a major airline hub, it sees occasional services from Belavia and regional carriers; prices are generally modest compared with larger European airports, though low-cost options are limited.
