I will not describe the building itself, although it is beautiful both outside and inside. You can pick up everything you need at the department store. The prices are not the same as five or seven years ago, but they are quite democratic, they cannot be compared with the Moscow GUM))) The system of discounts by day is very interesting, for those who go shopping, I advise you to look and choose the most profitable day. It will be 40 percent more profitable to collect a child for school than in the Russian Federation. And it's much easier to pick up high-quality things.
I visited GUM today. I haven 't been here for over a year .I liked the sales consultant on the ground floor of Belita cosmetics named Anastasia.Small , fast , knowledgeable, a professional in her field .She answered all my questions and showed me where which creams are fast and clear .I was interested in a sun cream and pigmentation 50+ and a hand cream with a whitening effect.Loreal , the cosmetics sales consultant, also told and showed everything well , she did not remember the name .That's how to serve, girls. By April 20, I will come and buy everything I liked

A good store, several floors with different sections, I really liked the huge department on the 1st floor with cosmetics, perfumes and hair and body products, a huge assortment. There is a department of socks, clothing, a huge department of fabrics and bed linen. A good store.
Two stars only for the architecture of the building and interior decoration. Otherwise, prices are highly inflated, sellers are customer-oriented, rude, and not friendly. They do not have information about the product. There is no desire to buy anything here. It is also considered the main department store of the city. I went shopping at another store, where the staff is friendlier and more polite.
An excellent building designed in the style of Stalinist classicism. Inside there is a grand staircase leading to the upper floors. There are Soviet symbols and lamps on the walls. The range of products is excellent. You can also buy Belarusian goods, such as linen, Luch watches, and other countries)) the prices are adequate.
It looks so beautiful, but inside it's a complete mess. There is a huge cosmetics department on the ground floor. I bought mascara, it's completely dry (( there's also a leather goods department on the floor. I recommend it! Excellent prices and quality. There's nothing to do on the second floor.
Modestly, very modestly. There may be an idea that this should be compared to Moscow, but this is far from the case. Products of different purses and variety, but we left without any purchases at all. There are many scattered shops nearby, where they have successfully shopped.
A store of specific goods, the choice is small, the movement is inconvenient, without an elevator or escalator, shops on top of each other, sellers are not particularly friendly, they are more busy with goods than with buyers. We were in November, basically all the goods for the new year. And they left with nothing.
This store is like something out of the past! The products are only of domestic production. The salesmen are aunties in overalls from the 80s and 90s, and they're all so statuesque in their figures and unflappable in their faces. They are strictly unfriendly but quite responsive. Just like I've been in the past
I come to Minsk for the third time, I always visit GUM. It is striking in its scope, a whole floor for Men, another floor for Women, tableware and textiles on another floor. The choice is huge and diverse, for any age.
The staff is polite🌺💐🪻
The format of a Soviet department store. For nostalgia for the scoop, come here! And the most advanced and convenient one is "Belarus". TSUM is in second place. GUM takes the honorable third place for historicity.
We got there thanks to the quest tour "Secrets of Skaryna: The search for unique UNESCO houses on Independence Avenue"
The tour with the tasks took place on the phone whatiftour.com
A monumental building! The power of the Soviet Union is immediately felt. It is good that we have preserved the original appearance of the store. It looks modern, but with Soviet solidity. There is a dining room on the third floor, which is affordable, which cannot be said about the store itself, though...
There has been a problem with parking there for years, and it cannot be solved. But on the other hand, it is more convenient to take the subway, come, bribe yourself to school and leave on any necessary subway line))
We need to work on the assortment. In the main state-owned store, there are Chinese, Russian, and even Polish goods on the shelves, but not Belarusian ones. For example, instead of household appliances Horizon, Atlant and Hephaestus, there are Chinese nounames
A standard state department store with an appropriate assortment, shoes, haberdashery, men's and women's clothing, the price is controversial, it all depends on what you need: price-quality and so on.
Classics of Soviet trade in a modern format. A huge selection of products from manufacturers in Belarus. Given the often honest (that's how) sales are conducted, it turns out to be more profitable than in many branded stores. For tourists and shopping enthusiasts, a visit is a must!
The store is fundamentally different from GUM in the Moscow sense, for example. There is no chic, glitter and "luhari".. It seemed very simple, as if the "clothing market" was in the 90s..
A beautiful building, an atmospheric store with numerous goods. There are a lot of Belarus products. When we come to Minsk, we definitely visit, it is already a tradition.
We went to the cafeteria on Mikulchik's recommendation to try waffles. Well, everything is like in the Soviet service: the kitchen does not work: it's already 20.30, and we close at 21.00. I say, "where is at least some information?": "And look over there in small letters in the rules on the wall."
A department store is like a department store, something is there, something is not
There was a feeling that he was somehow disguised among the houses, especially when compared with TSUM
The only drawback is that you can't go in without 10-15 minutes before closing time.
The Stalin-style building is quite luxurious. The range of products is normal. There is a schoolboy fair, but the assortment is not great. The sellers are polite, ready to show and tell everything, if the thing did not fit, they exchange it without incident
Such a department store on the main street seems to be from the past. A pompous staircase, a clear layout on the floors — the first is cosmetics, the second is men, the third is women. My friends and I got underwear, home clothes and a collection with Belarusian symbols.
Good afternoon. Gum is generally a very good store, when I visit Minsk I definitely go in. But today an unpleasant story happened. A coffee shop opened on the ground floor, my friend and I decided to go in, have a cup of coffee (I like what is served in a cup), ordered. The cup and handle turned out to be covered in blood, they asked to replace it, the second cup turned out to be dirty, covered in smudges. Instead of apologizing, the bartender was rude to us, said he didn't like drinking from disposable cups, if he didn't like something, he didn't care, and finally wished that God would give us the Annunciation on the holiday. It was already too much- rudeness of the highest degree. There was an unpleasant aftertaste.
There are a lot of different and interesting clothes. There are Belarusian production and imports. A good cosmetics and zoo goods store. There is a small grocery store and a small cafe
I always enjoy visiting this store. It is very beautiful and well decorated. Sellers are attentive and correct. What can you say about the staff of the cafeteria on the second floor. A man works, rude and cynical, like a porter from the Begingham Palace. I ordered coffee and flaxseed ice cream. I was served something broken on a waffle and doused with syrup. The menu mentioned salted caramel. There was no sign of her on the proposed version. In general, the ice cream was served to fuck off, aunt) I am very disappointed with this situation. It's a pity that such a store keeps such employees.
In the photo, "Expectation" and "Reality".😂😂😂
I have always been biased against state-owned stores) But GUM impressed with its wide range of products and very responsive sales consultants. We were pleased with the installations for the May 9 holiday and a very large selection of discounts
I would like to thank Pavel Laputsky, an intern, for his help in choosing shoes for my husband. A very competent and responsive young man. I was happy to offer different models of shoes. We bought a great pair of shoes for spring. We were very satisfied with the store, the assortment and the work of the seller Pavel.
GUM impressed! It's beautiful like in a theater, great shops, everything is there, the prices are not draconian. We walked around the shops with pleasure. The staff was friendly, helped with the child, distracted from mom. Of course, as a woman, I was pleased with the choice of linen fabric, the prices are cheaper here and any colors. There is also a huge selection in clothing stores. We spent half a day in GUM, although I do not like the shopping center, but here the atmosphere is completely different, there is a large space, there is no fuss, and beauty is all around.
Of course, everyone should visit the island of the Soviet past. A good choice of home knitwear and underwear, for lovers of cotton. There are also modern models. A department with linen and souvenirs, but expensive. A large selection of local cosmetics. At the very top in the right wing there is a Soviet canteen, the prices are average. There is an elevator in the left wing.
There seems to be a store and a store, but considering that this is a GUM in the capital of Belarus, I would like to find employees who will work out the aesthetic part. We only bought a sausage as a gift
Convenient location. A perfectly preserved building in the Soviet Empire style. A good selection of locally produced goods. It's interesting to walk around, take a look… I was happy to buy myself a pair of office shirts. My wife chose a tablecloth and napkins with traditional Belarusian cornflowers. Sincere communication with sellers. God save us!
GUM is probably a must-visit place if you are in Minsk. The building is beautiful inside and out. The counter format of the magvzines, as in childhood. There are a lot of shops and goods for every taste and need. From here you can take away a suitcase of souvenirs of Belarusian production.
GUM is one of my favorite places in Minsk)) A great selection of goods, it differs from TSUM products, and also differs in price, it is cheaper in GUM)) A huge selection of leather haberdashery and other goods, cool, pleasant sellers of goods, they will always tell you everything you want to find, I recommend it!
A luxurious building. An island of the Soviet past. Mostly Belarusian goods are on sale. The staff is polite. We wanted to visit the canteen, but it doesn't work on Sunday. For tourists, a visit is mandatory!
Absolutely boundlessly boorish saleswomen of retirement age in the linen department.
To my greeting, she literally barked at me - what do you want?!
I ask - where are the big towels here?
And in response I hear an angry - Don't you see? Right in front of you.
Grandma, if she's tired and it's hard for her to stay on her feet all day, then you can take a watch or something like that. Why leave angry people to work in the main store of the country?
GUM is a legend!
In the 22nd year I left a review, and complained a lot about the prices ...
But "BINGO"!
Today (09/16/23) we visited the store with our family and were pleasantly surprised and completely satisfied.
We made a purchase for a mere penny 1) a full-fledged men's suit, 2) two men's shirts, 3) a man's tie. We got a 20% discount!!! As a result, 457 Belarusian rubles were given for everything.
When there is only a seedy suit on the market from 350 and above...
a pleasant shock.
Special thanks to the sellers on the second floor and especially to the lady in black with the name on the badge - Love.
We are capricious customers (this is me) it was about six o'clock in the evening, but Lyubov showed great patience and professionalism, carefully selected shirts, a tie and even helped to tie it for real - very beautifully.
We were very pleased and grateful and promise to come back for shopping.
GUM in Minsk is definitely RECOMMENDED!
Our favorite GUM likes everything, you can find everything you need , consultations and friendly sellers, although one did not remove the protection on the cover for the board and you will have to go tomorrow to take it off, no one stopped at the exit, than attached!
A gorgeous example of Soviet architecture, interiors, design and everything else in the center of the capital.
It may be a little cramped and a reorganization of the retail space is required.
It would be interesting to make a cafe or restaurant overlooking the street, the building is located in an exceptionally beautiful location and corner building
