Where to go for the new year. Where to go with children for the New Year holidays: seven options for an inexpensive vacation Where to fly for the New Year holidays
There is nothing left before the New Year. It's time to ask yourself where to go for the New Year holidays in 2020, so that the impressions remain the most positive.
Therefore, we have prepared several options at once - in Russia and in Europe, at sea and in the Moscow region. For every taste and budget. Here are 15 cheap places to go for the New Year holidays in 2020. Prices are inclusive of traveling as a couple.
Where to go for the new year 2020 in Russia
1. Karelia
Price: from 30 thousand rubles.
Why not go to a place where there is even more snow and frost in a snowy and frosty winter? And in Karelia there is plenty of both. And it’s better not to sit in a log house, watching TV and listening to the snow falling from spruce paws, but to do something more interesting.
For example, go on snowmobiles to the museum-reserve of Russian wooden architecture, to the sled dog farm or to the winter zoo. Entertainment of this kind usually lasts 3-4 days, so even the busiest people can easily fit them into their busy schedule. And there will be a lot of impressions - the main thing is that the weather does not let us down.
Price: from 40 thousand rubles.
Russia and New Year in the pool? No, this is not a joke, we are completely serious. We are talking about hotels in the Krasnodar Territory, which are located next to hot, and even mineral springs. Impressions will be unforgettable - hot, steaming water and snow-covered shores.
It is worth adding that hotels are different, from rather budget options that the average Russian can afford, to palaces of a healthy lifestyle shining with gold and marble. It is worth adding that the pool can be combined with excursions, outdoor activities in the form of climbing or skiing.
3. Heart of the North
Price: from 55 thousand rubles.
Tired of the ancestral bast romance, hot countries got bored, do you want something truly wild and exotic? Russia is wide, and there are plenty of such places in it.
For example, you can go to the Far North, where you can meet the beginning of the new year in a real plague in the company of authentic reindeer herders. The cultural program is large and bright - you will not only get the opportunity to look at the world through the eyes of people living in completely different conditions, understand how they lived and what they believed in, but also master the complex art of lassoing deer and reindeer sledding. We do not promise that these skills will be useful to you in the future, but learning new things is always interesting, right?
New Year 2020 in Europe
If you have planned a trip to Europe as a holiday for the New Year holidays in January 2020, it is worth considering an important fact. The main holiday during which all European events take place is Christmas, which is celebrated on December 25th. But on the actual New Year, there are fewer people in Europe, more air, but there will also be fewer opportunities to have fun and spend time on a grand scale.
The trip looks most convenient from the beginning of the twentieth of December and for about two weeks; so it will be possible to celebrate both Christmas “their way” and the New Year our way.
1. Czech Republic - cheap, but not angry
Price: from 30 thousand rubles.
Where to go for the New Year in 2020 inexpensively? To the Czech Republic, the country of beer, bagels and low (compared to other European cities) prices. That is why it is so popular with tourists.
Prague itself is a city of magical beauty, but in combination with snow, it makes an impression downright enchanting. Various events are held in Prague for the holidays - you can easily find places where you can have fun, have a tasty drink and eat.
2. Italy
Price: from 45,000 rubles.
Tired of snow and frost, but at the same time, you don't want drastic climate changes? An excellent choice is Italy. It compares favorably with other European countries in that although Christmas is a family holiday there, Italians love and know how to celebrate the New Year.
And since Italy is a country of rich culture, at the time of the change of year, not banal folk festivals are held there, but entire orchestras perform. It is worth adding that in addition to culture, Italy is also distinguished by excellent cuisine. There you can try one of the . Only about the table you need to negotiate now.
3. Finland
Price: from 60 thousand rubles.
The Finns do not generally love mass entertainment, and Christmas and New Year are considered family holidays in the country. Large mass festivities with fireworks from reserved northerners should not be expected.
Therefore, it is best to rent a separate apartment in Finland and go there with family, friends and loved ones. There are many options for this very separate housing - from secluded houses in the thick of the forest, where deer stumble, to relatively (by Finnish standards) populated ski hotels or spa centers. Which is more to your liking.
By the way, if you want to go to Helsinki for a holiday, keep in mind that museum workers and attendants also rest there on holidays. So local cultural venues will most likely be closed and restaurants will slam their doors shortly before midnight.
Holidays in the New Year holidays 2020 at sea
We immediately warn those who aim at a beach holiday and warming up all parts of the body in a resort under the southern sun - “cheap” and “New Year” are not very compatible concepts. And it's not even the price of the tours themselves (you can find them at quite budget prices), but the price of tickets. It is they who chop off most of the money set aside for the trip.
1. Cyprus
Price: from 20 thousand rubles.
Although only especially persistent Russians can swim in the winter Cypriot sea (17 degrees), it’s still worth going there. Cypriots are amazingly friendly and hospitable people who love and know how to celebrate in such a way that even seasoned tourists will warm their souls in the waves of goodwill emanating from them. We add that the island loves Russian-speaking tourists and knows how to communicate with them.
Entertainment is traditional - carnivals, carols, round dances, many people with fireworks, songs, dances and laughter. We add that “their” winter is not at all “our” severe and snowy winter. In December-January, orange and tangerine trees calmly bear fruit, and the daytime temperature is about 20 °.
2. Vietnam - without a visa
Price: from 100 thousand rubles.
One of the most favorite destinations during the winter. In Vietnam, the beach season is in full swing, and the number of sunny days will plunge the Russian into euphoria. Sun and sea are accompanied by inexpensive food and lots of delicious fruits. It is important that small trips (up to 15 days) to Vietnam do not require bureaucratic red tape.
It is worth noting that Vietnam is inexpensive, since a developed tourist infrastructure has not yet been developed there (although it is developing at an intensive pace). But weather conditions and terrain (long, gently sloping sandy beaches and rugged and vibrant tropical greenery) make you forget about the shortcomings. By the way, diving will not work - just in the winter months, the sea is rough.
3. Caribbean
Price: from 190 thousand rubles.
And here is an option for those who prefer higher hotels, brighter sun, and beaches only with sparkling cleanliness. They will open their hospitable arms of the countries of the Caribbean, primarily the Dominican Republic.
The weather there is luxurious - low humidity, sun, no precipitation, sea 27-28 ° - excellent conditions for scuba diving and other entertainment at sea. And the Latin temperament gives the New Year an unforgettable, exotic and bright color.
Where to go on New Year's holidays 2020 with children
1. Empress Kostroma
Price: from 13,900 rubles.
Everyone knows where Santa Claus lives - in Veliky Ustyug. And the habitat of his granddaughter, or daughter, Snegurochka, is Kostroma. She owns two houses there.
The first is an official residence, like a governor's. There, the snow maiden carefully stores all the gifts she has received over a rather long life. Tours are organized for those who wish to admire them.
And the second is designed to entertain guests - New Year's performances are held there, as well as other folklore elements live (and work).
2. low beam
Price: from 15 thousand rubles.
There are many places where to go for the New Year with children in Russia. One of the most popular options is recreation centers in the Moscow region. They are especially loved by parents with very young children. Such a holiday has many advantages:
- go far (which is important if the child has not yet reached the sane age);
- all the benefits of civilization at hand;
- at the same time, you can finally relax and unwind by entrusting the child to experienced animators for a while.
- As a rule, in family holiday homes there are both pleasures for the body (baths, spas, massages, etc.) and pleasures for the soul (fishing, outdoor and board games).
3. Land of magic
Price: from 70 thousand rubles.
It is in Scotland that Hogwarts Castle is located, the events of Brave took place, and the bulk of Doune Castle rises, where the Game of Thrones was filmed. And Edinburgh is the heart of Scotland, where every square meter of the surface is full of history and romance.
If you want to go abroad with your children so that they remember this trip for a long time, take them to Edinburgh. True, there are not so many tours there, so you have to think about the trip yourself.
Journey for the New Year 2020 by car
1. From St. Petersburg to Moscow - and back
Price (gasoline only): about 2500 rubles.
Residents of Moscow are recommended to go to St. Petersburg, and residents of Moscow - to the northern capital. Why exactly from Moscow and by car? Because on the way you can admire the beauties of snow-covered nature, and also, depending on the route, visit other interesting places. The M10 highway passes such pearls of Russia as Tver and Torzhok, not far from Valdai and Veliky Novgorod.
Price (gasoline only): about 3000 rubles.
Kazan is confidently becoming one of the most popular cities among travelers by car. It successfully combines a high level of comfort, an abundance of attractions, attractions for tourists in the form of local festivals and holidays, plus Tatar exoticism.
For the New Year in the capital of Tatarstan, holidays, competitions, competitions are arranged, and an ice town is being built, where children like it so much.
3. By car to Europe
Price (gasoline only): about 7,000 rubles.
In order to plan your New Year's trip to Europe well and competently, you need to know a few things.
- First of all, think over the route - sit for a couple of hours with a map, decide what you want to see and how far to go. Some are limited to a ring of several cities (for example, Prague - Vienna - Prague and from there by plane home), others are thinking about larger journeys through several countries.
- Secondly, it is worth considering in advance the points where you plan to spend the night, and book hotels or campsites in advance.
- Thirdly, there are autobahns - toll highways; you will have to move mostly on them.
- Fourth, you need to prepare all the necessary documents. A lot of trouble, yes, but you are not bound by anything and can move freely as you please, not obeying the instructions of the guide.
It's no secret that the New Year for Russians is considered the most important holiday of the year. They are waiting for it, they prepare for it mentally and physically much in advance, and preparation is carried out everywhere: from kindergartens to the State Duma. Many people identify the New Year with the beginning of a new life, new promises and change for the better. Everyone decides for himself how he will meet this grandiose holiday. Long holidays are coming at work and at school, which means it's time to change the situation and visit long-planned destinations, recharge with new emotions and spiritual strength for further achievements, and just relax.
Not just to relax, but to celebrate the holiday itself in a new country - an incredible adventure and an unforgettable experience that will allow you to plunge into the culture of the area, learn special traditions and become part of the holiday. Many vacationers, on the contrary, bring the Russian culture of celebration to the masses, acquaint foreigners with Slavic identity. Such a mixture of customs as part of the celebration of the New Year will remain in memory for a lifetime.
It is rather difficult to decide on the direction in the New Year, as there are actually a lot of tours. You can go to conquer peaks in ski resorts, wander warmly and comfortably through the ancient streets of Europe and rejoice like a child at fairs, or you can meet a holiday on the beach, which in itself is exotic for a Russian person.
New Year's tours at sea
Almost the entire territory of Russia is covered with snow on New Year's Eve. It is difficult to imagine a holiday without frost, snowstorms and white flakes outside the window. What an unforgettable experience will be the celebration of the New Year under the scorching sun in hot sand and gentle sea. It's funny to watch how hotels and palm trees are decorated in a New Year's way instead of traditional firs. Although, the hotels of the most popular destinations, they still put up spruces so as not to violate the traditions of visitors.

Vietnam

If you are lucky enough to celebrate the New Year in Vietnam, then by all means go to the embankment (it doesn’t matter if it’s Nha Trang, Phu Thiet or Mui Ne), as this is where concerts, folk festivals, dances and countdown to the start of the new calendar year are organized.

A couple of hours before midnight, join the locals and tourists on Palace Square. Throw a couple of zlotys to street musicians and take a seat closer to the Christmas tree, and when the clock strikes 12 times, try to shout “Szczęśliwego nowego roku” as loudly as possible.

You can spend the main night as your heart desires - if you are not afraid of the thunder of firecrackers and love dashing fun, go with the Tiflis youth to Rustaveli Avenue. And if you prefer to celebrate at the table, then choose any restaurant you like. True, a ceremonial feast will be only at first - Georgians love and know how to have fun. One night in Tbilisi is definitely not enough: it is customary to feast on spicy dishes, say long toasts and dance here from December 31 to January 2.

Warm up in cozy restaurants and try hearty sweet pies, without which the New Year is not imagined in Karelia.

However, downstairs, in the center of Alma-Ata, you won’t get bored either: there are parties in spacious bars, and young people dancing right on the street, who have fun for a few more days. If you prefer to spend your holidays in a more relaxed mode, go skiing in Chimbulak or ice skating at the world's largest high-mountain skating rink "Medeu".

The main thing here is not to linger in one place for a long time. With gratitude, accept compliments from hospitable interlocutors and do not count the establishments you visit. In the morning, take a walk along the Tiber embankment, flooded with the warm light of old lanterns. On January 1, not a single institution will work, and this day can be devoted to walking around the half-empty city, getting to know the architectural monuments and just relaxing. Starting from the second day of the year, you can safely dive into the cultural program.

Twinkling braids of garlands, clusters of Christmas decorations and coniferous wreaths have been decorating the city since the beginning of December, and in any of its alleys you can feel like in a medieval Austrian fairy tale. Domplatz and Residenzplatz are home to some of the best holiday markets in Europe. And it's not just about antique jewelry, fragrant pretzels and sweet mulled wine, but also about the feeling of solitude that appears among the high mountains. On New Year's Eve, buy sparklers in one of the fair houses and meet midnight with the residents of the city to the sound of the bells of the Salzburg Cathedral.

Unusual on a trip to Athens for the New Year will be that in the Greek capital the holiday is called St. Basil's Day. It differs from the holiday we are used to mainly in that the main character here is not Father Frost or Santa, but, in fact, St. Basil. Head to Syntagma Square and join the crowded round dance of sirtaki under bright fireworks. When midnight comes, break a large pomegranate fruit against a stone wall for good luck, and in the morning hurry to the nearest bakery to try the lush basilopita there. If you're lucky, a good-natured neighbor will treat you to a traditional New Year's pie - in this case, chew the dessert more carefully: the Greeks like to put a coin in the dough (also for good luck).
