Do not despair! You don't have to enjoy your time in the park or garden. So feel free to pack your bags and choose your favorite country from the list.
Travel in winter: Top 10 visa-free countries for holidays all year round.
1. Turkey
So, Turkey opens the rating. Here, according to the rating of 2016, the best hotels in the world are waiting for tourists. Over the past year, over two million tourists spent their holidays here. The favorite months, of course, are the summer months. Because only in summer people can stay here for two whole months! During the winter season, the time for visa-free travel is halved. Border guards can look at your passport only to make sure that the document is not expired. If you need to change it in the next 3 months, and you do not have a return ticket, then things are bad.
2. Egypt
The second place went to Egypt. Here, according to experts, almost two million people from different parts of the world have rested.
3. Thailand
