There is nothing left until 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 prepared several options at once - in Russia and to Europe, at sea and in the Moscow region. For every taste and wallet. Here are 15 places to go inexpensively for the 2020 New Year holidays. Prices are based on travel for two.
Where to go for the new year 2020 in Russia
1. Karelia
Price: from 30 thousand rubles.
Why not go where there is even more snow and frost in the snowy and frosty winter? And in Karelia there is plenty of both. And it is better not to sit in a log house, watching TV and listening to the snow falling from the spruce paws, but to do something more interesting.
For example, go snowmobiling to the Museum-Reserve of Russian Wooden Architecture, to the sled dog farm or to the winter zoo. This kind of entertainment is usually 3-4 days long, so it is easy for even the busiest people to fit into their busy routines. And there will be a lot of impressions - the main thing is that the weather does not disappoint.
2. Hot springs of Krasnodar region
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 should be added that hotels are different, from fairly budget options that the average Russian can afford, to palaces of a healthy lifestyle shining in gold and marble. It should be added that the pool can be combined with excursions, outdoor activities in the form of mountaineering or skiing.
3. Heart of the North
Price: from 55 thousand rubles.
The primordially primordial bast romance is bored, hot countries got it, 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 celebrate the beginning of the new year in a real tent 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, to understand how they lived and what they believed in, but you will also master the complex art of roaming deer and reindeer sledding trips. 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 as a matter of fact, the New Year has less people in Europe, there is more air, but there will be fewer opportunities to have fun and on a grand scale.
The most convenient trip looks from the beginning of the twenties of December and for about two weeks; so it will be possible to celebrate both Christmas "in their own way" and New Year in 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, a 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 combined with snow and Christmas markets makes an impression downright bewitching. On holidays in Prague, various events are held - you can easily find places where you can have fun, have a tasty drink and a snack.
2. Italy
Price: from 45,000 rubles.
Tired of snow and frost, but at the same time you don't want drastic climate changes? A great option is Italy. It compares favorably with other European countries in that although Christmas is a family holiday there, the 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 whole orchestras perform. It should be added that in addition to culture, Italy is also distinguished by excellent cuisine. There you can try some of the most delicious dishes in the world... Only the table needs to be negotiated now.
3. Finland
Price: from 60 thousand rubles.
Finns are generally not distinguished by their love of mass entertainment, and Christmas and New Year are considered family holidays in the country. You should not expect large mass festivities with fireworks from reserved northerners.
Therefore, it is best to rent a separate house 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 wander, stumbling, to relatively (by Finnish standards) inhabited ski hotels or spa centers. Which is more to your taste.
By the way, if you want to go to Helsinki for a holiday, keep in mind that museum workers and service personnel also rest there on holidays. So local cultural sites are likely to be closed and restaurants will slam their doors just before midnight.
Holidays in the new year 2020 at sea
We immediately warn those aiming at a beach holiday and warming up all parts of the body at the resort under the southern sun - “cheap” and “New Year” are little compatible concepts. And it's not even the price of the tours themselves (you can find it 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 is still worth going there. Cypriots are amazingly friendly and welcoming 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.
Traditional entertainment - carnivals, carols, round dances, a lot of people with fireworks, songs, dances and laughter. Let's add that "their" winter is not "our" severe and snowy winter at all. In December-January, orange and tangerine trees bear fruit quietly, and the daytime temperature is about 20 °.
2. Vietnam - no visa
Price: from 100 thousand rubles.
One of the favorite destinations during the winter. In Vietnam, the beach season is in full swing, and the number of sunny days will plunge Russians into euphoria. Sun and sea are accompanied by inexpensive food and many 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 there has not yet been developed a developed tourist infrastructure (although it is developing at an intensive pace).But the 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 stormy.
3. Caribbean
Price: from 190 thousand rubles.
But an option for those who prefer higher hotels, the sun is brighter, and the beaches are only sparkling clean. The countries of the Caribbean, primarily the Dominican Republic, will open their hospitable arms to them.
The weather there is luxurious - low humidity, sun, no precipitation, the sea is 27-28 ° - excellent conditions for diving and other entertainment at sea. And the Latin temperament gives the New Year an unforgettable, exotic and vibrant color.
Where to go on New Year's holidays 2020 with children
1. Empress Kostroma
Price: from 13 900 rubles.
Everyone knows where Father Frost lives - in Veliky Ustyug. And the habitat of his either granddaughter, or daughter, Snow Maiden is Kostroma. There she has two houses of her own.
The first is the official residence, like the governor's. There, the snow maiden carefully stores all the gifts she received over a rather long life. For those wishing to admire them, excursions are organized.
And the second is intended for entertaining 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 to go on New Year's Eve 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 little children. This holiday has many advantages:
- to go nearby (which is important if the child has not yet reached a sane age);
- all the benefits of civilization at hand;
- at the same time, you can finally rest and relax, entrusting the child to experienced animators for a while.
- As a rule, in family holiday homes there are also pleasures for the body (saunas, spa, massages, etc.) and pleasures for the soul (fishing, outdoor games and board games).
3. Land of magic
Price: from 70 thousand rubles.
It is in Scotland that Hogwarts Castle is located, the events of "Braveheart" took place, and the bulk of Doon Castle, where the shooting of "Game of Thrones" was filmed, rises. 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 will remember this trip for a long time, take them to Edinburgh. True, there are not so many tours there, so you will have to think about the trip yourself.
Travel for New Year 2020 by car
1. From St. Petersburg to Moscow - and back
Price (petrol only): about 2500 rubles.
We recommend that residents of Moscow 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 beauty of the snow-covered nature, as well as, depending on the route, visit other interesting places. The M10 highway passes by such gems of Russia as Tver and Torzhok, not far from Valdai and Veliky Novgorod.
2. Kazan
Price (petrol only): about 3000 rubles.
Kazan is confidently becoming one of the most popular cities among travelers by cars. It successfully combines a high level of comfort, an abundance of attractions, tourist attractions in the form of local festivals and holidays, plus Tatar exoticism.
On New Year's Eve in the capital of Tatarstan, holidays, contests, competitions are organized, and an ice town is being built, where children like it so much.
3. By car to Europe
Price (petrol only): about 7000 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 the 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-scale travel through several countries.
- Secondly, it is worth considering in advance the points where you plan to spend the night, and in advance to book hotels or a place in the campsite.
- Thirdly, there are autobahns - toll highways; you will have to move mostly along them.
- Fourthly, you need to prepare all the necessary documents. There is a lot of trouble, yes, but you are not bound by anything and can move freely as you please, disobeying the direction of the guide.
