Mir and Nesvizh are small and cosy towns at 1.5 hour drive from Minsk. The cities hold the impossibly romantic 16th-century palaces, which are real pearls of Belarus architecture. They were once owned by the powerful Radziwill magnate family (the most powerful and rich clan in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania). Castles are under UNESCO protection for their uniqueness and considered as world heritage.
