Mazyr
Visit Mazyr for a half‑day stop to see its Baroque churches; one day is enough unless you combine with other Gomel Oblast towns.
Mazyr is a small industrial city in southern Gomel Oblast, known for two 18th‑century churches. Its sights are close together, so a few hours suffice; use it as a base for nearby day trips.
