There are several ways of moving between towns in Belarus.
Certainly, if you arrived to Belarus in your own car this problem is solved for you. All you need then is a road map that you can buy in a book store.
For those visitors that did not bring their vehicle with them there is an option to rent one. There are offices of Avis and Europcar in Belarus as well as some other local renting companies.
What regards public transportation there are the following options: bus, train and air.
There are very few local flights in Belarus and they are not very frequent. That means that you can only get to some oblast centers once or twice a week.
More useful are bus and train.
There is a quite dense network of railways in Belarus.
If you are going to a location in Belarus away from railways and airports your option will be a bus. Bus routes cover all the territory of the country.
