Heads Up! Changing Tides in Minsk Metro Schedule
Altered Minsk Metro Operation Hours - Extended Service Periods
Don't jump to conclusions just yet; this schedule adjustment is only short-term, coinciding with the Republican Graduation Ball on June 20, a Friday.
Gear up for an extended metro service, running from 5:30 AM to 2:00 AM the following day, June 21. Keep in mind that these timings are subject to the lively celebrations of university graduates.
According to the metro press service, there will be some minor adjustments to the closing hours. The metro stations will cease entry at 1:25 AM on June 21, except for 'NeMIha', which will close slightly earlier at 1:40 AM. Interestingly, 'Kupalawskaya' station's entry from K. Marx Street will wrap up a bit early on June 20 at 9:00 PM.
To make the most of these altered timings, be sure to grab your tickets or travel cards ahead of time. Payment is acceptable via contactless bank cards or the mobile service "Pay".
