Hi there! My name is Vitali, I’m from Belarus. And I’m a local guide level 6.
I can tell everyone about my favorite places using Google Maps.
I would like to tell you about my native town Lida, as there is no place like home.
There are a lot of exciting towns and cities in the world but I like Lida best, because I was born here and this town is dear to my heart. It is a wonderful town in Grodno region, surrounded by beautiful nature. Lida is an old town, it was founded in 1323 and played an important role in Belarusian history.
Lida is one of the biggest towns in Grodno region. The population of Lida is about one hundred thousand people.
Unfortunately, there are not many historic places in our town but we are proud of our castle, which was build in the early 14th century.
Today a lot of tourists come to Lida to see it. Visitors can watch very interesting Knight’s tournaments during the summer and visit the museum in the castle.
Lida has an ancient coat of arms. It’s a lion and two crossed keys on a shield. You can see a monument to it in center of the town.
For me, it is pleasant that Lida is a clean and green town. In summer there are many flower-beds with beautiful flowers here. They smell good and always raise my mood.
To sum it up I want to say that Lida is one of the best places in Belarus. In my opinion people are happy here and I’m happy too. And I agree with the proverb «East or West, home is best!” For me Lida is best. Welcome to Lida!
