For a great New Year 2020 abroad, heed the advice.
- Please note that prices are constantly rising. If you plan to rest on New Year's Eve, book hotel rooms, plane tickets or tours in advance.
- The most affordable options are disassembled until October. It is important not only to book a hotel room or rent an apartment, but also to find a meeting place. If it's a cafe or restaurant, book a table. It so happens that there are simply no places. This is especially true for popular resorts.
- The closer the holiday, the higher the prices for the tour. If you want to celebrate well and not spend too much, everything should be ready a few months before the trip. The rest will definitely be bright and colorful.
Do not forget to drop by the New Year's fairs, which will delight you with favorable prices for various goods.
The skating rinks are flooded, the city tree froze in anticipation of the round dances, the snow cover has prepared for the reflection of colored lights, and the TV program is filled with funny programs. New Year is approaching again, and its foreboding envelops the soul with children's hopes for miracles, fulfillment of desires, fabulous events. Only now friends decided to go to hot countries to celebrate the holiday with the whole family. And colleagues at work turn up their noses, savoring stories about how they plan to decorate a palm tree, instead of a Christmas tree, somewhere in the southern edges.
And you feel the filthy tentacles of envy reach your throat. But you worked for a whole year, and you could also afford such exoticism. It’s interesting, after all, to try what the New Year’s, celebrated on a tropical beach, is. Well, if only a limited budget stops you, and the thirst for travel has already firmly settled down next to the anticipation of the holiday, let's try to choose a place on the map where the Sea New Year will not become a heavy burden on your family wallet.
Philippines
The snow-white sand of the Philippine beaches resembles pictures from advertising brochures, and the gentle sea sparkles invitingly in the sun, and you understand that you have not come in vain, which, it turns out, was the only thing you dreamed about somewhere in the depths of your soul. Mild summer weather and comfortable water temperatures only confirm your guesses. The most popular among tourists is the island of Boracay, famous for its vibrant nightlife, excellent gurney for surfers and good diving conditions. For the holiday, bamboo is decorated here, instead of a Christmas tree, the area is replete with bright ribbons and garlands, and hundreds of fireworks are launched into the sky.
The most expensive part of a trip to the Philippines is air travel. Tickets from Moscow to Manila and back will cost 53,000 - 70,000 rubles. In terms of accommodation, budget hotels offer rooms starting at $ 10 per night. In three-star hotels you can relax at a price of $ 20, and in four-star hotels - from $ 37. We will not study the pricing policy of elite hotels, because we have a budget vacation.
A good option is to celebrate the New Year at one of the southern resorts of Vietnam (in the northern part of the country it is pretty cool in winter). For a classic beach holiday by the calm sea, Fukuoka is the best choice this time of year. And those who appreciate high waves and powerful wind, ideal for kiting, can safely go to Mui Ne. Well, diving in the country is well organized and, moreover, is surprisingly inexpensive. Vietnam is not a country where December 31 is a special day. But don't let that confuse you. Workers of the tourism sector have already penetrated into the essence of our favorite holiday, so that in any hotel, restaurant or cafe, a fun and full of entertainment program awaits visitors.
In principle, it is quite possible to find a ticket to Vietnam at a low price. By the New Year, weekly tours for two to this country cost from 123,000 rubles and more. But if you are ready to independently organize recreation, it may come out a little cheaper: tickets from Moscow to Ho Chi Minh City and in the opposite direction cost from 52,000 to 76,000 rubles, and the prices for accommodation in hotels have something in common with the Filipino ones.
Bali (Indonesia)
The most popular among our compatriots, the Indonesian island of Bali has traditionally received guests on New Year's Eve. Sometimes, however, it rains here at this time of the year. But the heat is stable, and if it does not rain on New Year's Eve, it is best to spend it right on the beach, by the very blue sea. If the weather is unlucky, don't be discouraged - the local clubs are good enough for party fun. In addition to the warm sea and nightly parties, it is easy to find a variety of entertainment in Bali: kiting and diving, excursions and rejuvenating procedures, jet skiing and much more. The only drawback is that traveling around the island by taxi is not cheap, so it is advisable to rent a bike.
To reduce travel costs, you can choose a flight to Bali from Moscow with a transfer in Doha (Qatar). The estimated cost of such round-trip tickets is 45,000 rubles and more. Prices in hotels are just a sight for sore eyes: for five stars you will be charged from $ 33 per day, for four - $ 18, two- and three-star hotels cost from $ 10, prices in budget hotels start from $ 7.
Koh Samui (Thailand)
There is no point in doubting Thailand's tourist popularity. And there are plenty of places for recreation, including New Year's. You can, for example, aim with such an idea on the island of Koh Samui, which is characterized by an excellent selection of beaches for every taste: quiet semi-wild coves, spacious multi-kilometers beaches with rich infrastructure and a lot of entertainment, or those that are great for water sports entertainment. Despite the fact that Thailand does not celebrate the New Year with us, all the conditions for a perfect holiday are created here for tourists: from parties in many local restaurants to New Year's paraphernalia in stores. Well, let's not forget about the weather - there are no problems with this on Koh Samui on New Year's Eve.
There are direct flights to Koh Samui from Moscow, however, a ticket to Bangkok or Phuket is cheaper. There, by the way, you can also spend a day - another. Bangkok is known for amazing shopping. But, in this case, you should take care of the hotel in advance during your stay there. Prices for accommodation in Koh Samui hotels start at $ 30, although you can find it for $ 20. In general, one day on the island for two people costs an average of $ 100, including accommodation and meals in inexpensive cafes.
Another quite realistic option for a budget vacation at sea is to turn your eyes to the Promised Land. During the New Year holidays, it is best to go to the Red Sea coast. For example, in Eilat, the beach season is in full swing at this time. Warm calm sea and clean beaches - what else is needed for true relaxation! The main entertainment here is diving into the clear sea water, filled with the life of colorful fish and other interesting inhabitants of the depths. However, you can study them in the local oceanarium. Or, on the contrary, you can dine in a restaurant-aquarium, through the transparent walls of which these same sea inhabitants will study you.
It's nice that tickets in the Moscow - Eilat direction, together with the return journey, cost from 27,000 rubles during the New Year period. Prices in three-star hotels start at $ 50, but you can sleep well in a hostel for as little as $ 20 per night.
Goa (India)
The main resort state of India, Goa, is chosen by tourists of all categories. The most unpretentious choose a budget vacation on the northern coast of the state, lovers of comfort go to the south, where hotels are more comfortable, and the infrastructure is more saturated. But, in any case, the prices in Goa are much lower than in many resorts in the world. In addition to celebrating the New Year on the beach, here you can enjoy the healing power of exotic nature, meditate or desperately have fun with like-minded people. In addition, you will have a great opportunity to get acquainted with local traditions, multifaceted culture, attractions and exotic cuisine.
A flight from Moscow to Goa and return will cost you at least 58,000 rubles. The cost of a standard room in an inexpensive hotel is $ 20 and more.
It is said that changing habits leads to changes in life. Even if you sometimes change the route of returning from work, you can suddenly notice new colors in life and feel movement in stagnant affairs and problems. It is possible that meeting the New Year in completely unusual conditions, with a mass of new emotions and impressions, will become a window into which luck will look into your home.
Of course, New Year is a costly holiday, and it will not come out absolutely cheap to celebrate, in any case. Prices for tickets, accommodation in hotels and other components of recreation for the holiday invariably rise, such is life. But let's hope that our research will give you confidence that life is good and full of pleasant surprises, and that exotic pleasures are available not only to someone else, but also to you personally, your family and loved ones. Holiday greetings!
There is nothing left until the New Year. It's time to ask the question of where to go for the New Year's holidays in 2020, so that the impressions remain the most positive.
Therefore, we prepared several options at once - across 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 indicated taking into account 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 on snowmobiles to the museum-reserve of Russian wooden architecture, to the sled dog farm or to the winter zoo. These kinds of activities tend to last 3-4 days, so even the busiest people can easily fit them into their busy routines. And there will be a lot of impressions - the main thing is that the weather does not disappoint.
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. The impressions will be unforgettable - hot, steaming water and snow-capped 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 chum 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 deer roaming 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, more air, but there will be fewer opportunities to have fun and on a grand scale.
The most convenient trip looks like 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 the 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 in combination with snow it makes an absolutely enchanting impression. On holidays in Prague, various events are held - you can easily find places where you can have fun, have delicious drinks and snacks.
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 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. 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. Large mass festivities with fireworks from reserved northerners should not be expected.
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 slammed shut shortly before midnight.
Holidays in the new year 2020 at the sea
We immediately warn those aiming at a beach holiday and warming up all parts of the body in a 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. They are the ones who chop off most of the money set aside for the trip.
1. Cyprus
Price: from 20 thousand rubles.
Although only especially staunch Russians can swim in the winter Cypriot sea (17 degrees), it is 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.
Traditional entertainment - carnivals, carols, round dances, a lot of people with fireworks, songs, dances and laughter. Let us 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 most 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 should be noted 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 the 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.
And here is an option for those who prefer higher hotels, the sun is brighter, and the beaches are only with sparkling cleanliness. 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 entertainments 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 already 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 the entertainment of 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 (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 "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 travel 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 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.
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, attractions for tourists 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 think about larger-scale travel through several countries.
- Secondly, you should think about the points where you plan to spend the night in advance, and book hotels or a place in the campsite in advance.
- 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 connected by anything and you can move freely as you please, disobeying the direction of the guide.
