Vitebsk City Center Tourist Map 2024

A highly-detailed multi-color street and tourist map in Russian of the city center of Vitebsk in northeastern Belarus, published by Belkartografia in 2024. Vitebsk is known in Belarusian as Vitsyebsk and in Yiddish as וויטעבסק‎ or Vitsepsk. The map labels major and minor streets throughout central Vitebsk, and a street index on the front side of the map lists and locates all of the streets keyed to the grid on the map; the front side also shows the streets of greater Vitebsk outside the center. A legend at left defines many symbols on the map which identify tourist services and cultural sites; to the right, more than 60 museums, galleries, concert halls, theaters, sports complexes, and other tourist sites are listed with contact info and numbered markers on the map. Six architectural monuments of the city are illustrated with photos. Vitebsk had a large Jewish community (more than half the population at the turn of the 20th century), and was the childhood home of both the artist Marc Chagall and the writer and ethnographer S. An-sky. Chagall's childhood home, a memorial statue, and the Marc Chagall Museum are marked on both sides of the map.
