Minsk National Airport (MSQ)

Getting Around

How to get to and from Minsk National Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at MSQ

Minsk National Airport is connected to Minsk and the wider Belarus transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Rail & Metro

Five daily trains connect to Minsk-Passazhirsky and Smolevichy stations, with a connecting shuttle bus between the terminal and the airport's own train station.

Bus & Shuttle

Routes 300E and 173E run to central Minsk, alongside shuttle buses 1400-TK and 1430-TK (one of which connects via the metro).

Taxi

Licensed taxis wait in the arrivals area; show your boarding pass and avoid touts inside the terminal. The city center is a 45-minute-plus drive, about 42km away.

Rideshare

Uber does not operate in Minsk, but Yandex Go/Yandex Taxi is the practical equivalent and covers the city.

Car Rental

Auto-Sale Rent-A-Car operates a ground-floor desk.

Insider tip

The airport is roughly 42km from central Minsk -- budget well over an hour round trip. EU airlines have not served Minsk since the 2021 airspace ban, so most international connections now run via the Middle East, CIS states, or China.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Minsk National Airport website before travel.

Only use official taxi ranks or pre-booked apps at Minsk National Airport. Avoid unofficial drivers approaching you in arrivals.
