Holidays for 3-4 days abroad. Weekend tours in Russia. Serpukhov – a city with an eventful past
If you only have 3 days to rest, then you need to act quickly, harmoniously and thoughtfully. And the main thing is to “plan the route” in advance. And then you can plunge into the world of micro-vacations at least several times a year.
A classic of the genre - a trip to the nearest suburb. Wherever you live, there is probably a specialized place in the immediate vicinity (region, district) for relaxation in the lap of nature. This could be a recreation center, a hotel, a sanatorium on the banks of a river, pond, lake, or even the sea. Most often, such vacation options are quite economical, since they do not require special expenses for a long journey to a place of leisure, and the prices of “living” in the suburbs of a metropolis or regional center are most often significantly lower than in resort town at the height of the season. By the way, if you go outside the high season, you can also save significantly on accommodation if your plans include a budget vacation. A variation of the previous recreation option is “tent” leisure in the lap of nature. If you are not afraid of insects, animals and creepy crawlies, and food cooked over a fire is tastier to you than restaurant delicacies, this is perfect holiday
Fans of skiing and snowboarding can easily find themselves on the glaciers of Europe at any time of the year. At the same time, three days is enough to saturate yourself with impressions. Depending on the season, the tourism manager will offer you several options for such leisure activities. And, for example, the Austrian Hintertux is open to skiers all year round. To Europe for the weekend! See with your own eyes Prague, Budapest, Warsaw, Stockholm, London, Paris, Tallinn, Riga... And all this in just three days? Is quite real. The main thing is not to oversaturate your journey and not to strive to embrace the immensity. It’s better to limit yourself to one or two, maximum three cities, but have a good time and have time to walk (not run) and quietly see the sights. The choice of leisure activities is huge, especially if you use your imagination. And the main thing is to remember a few rules - don’t gallop across Europe, don’t go too far and it’s better to postpone visiting countries with visa regime on
better times when you have a little more time to relax. Have a great weekend! In order to live fully and achieve success in everyday work, you need to be able to relax and rest well. But how to do this, because the life schedule of a city dweller is so busy that it is very difficult to find time for rest? The optimal answer to this question is excursion

Traveling to Europe was already an expensive pleasure, but given the new economic conditions holidays in main European capitals have become an almost unaffordable luxury.
Fortunately, in addition to expensive London, Paris and Rome, there are cheaper European cities, so there is still an opportunity to see Europe without going broke, you just need to carefully plan your trip and choose a direction. To make things easier for you, we've put together a list of 10 interesting and inexpensive cities in Europe where a weekend won't leave a hole in your budget.
1. Krakow
It is surprising that Krakow, one of the most beautiful and at the same time the cheapest cities in Europe, has not yet been appreciated by tourists. Krakow was the capital of Poland until the end of the 16th century, but even after losing this status it always remained the main cultural and scientific center countries. Fortunately, unlike Warsaw, the city was practically not damaged during World War II, so many ancient buildings have been preserved here (there are thirty-nine churches alone), the medieval Jagiellonian University and a huge royal castle from the 13th century.
2. Budapest
Despite the fact that the popularity of the Hungarian capital last years has grown significantly, prices here are still relatively low. If you choose a hotel not in the very center and use public transport, you can enjoy views of the Danube and classical architecture while staying within a modest budget. Be sure to visit one of Budapest's famous thermal baths, cross the river on the Chain Bridge and stroll through the Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion.
3. Lisbon
Even by European standards, there are a lot of attractions in Lisbon and its surroundings - castles, palaces and basilicas, and the decent cost of air travel to the Portuguese capital is more than compensated cheap hotels, restaurants and shops. If you plan to move around the city a lot by public transport or use the funiculars (including the famous city elevator of Santa Justa), be sure to buy a Viva Viagem travel system, this will allow you to save additional money.
4. Prague
Prague has won the love of tourists from all over the world thanks to two factors: cheap Czech pubs and a beautiful historical center. In terms of attractiveness and richness of cultural monuments, Prague is hardly inferior to the main Western European capitals, and a trip here will cost you much less than to Paris or Amsterdam. The only negative is the high season There are a lot of tourists in Prague, so choose the less popular months, since this city is beautiful at any time of the year.
5. Istanbul
One of the oldest cities in the world, Istanbul is considered a must-visit destination for every history buff. Mosques, bazaars and amazing views of the Bosphorus Strait will not leave indifferent even the most experienced travelers. Today, Istanbul captivates not only with its rich cultural heritage, but also with its low prices, which, alas, fall in inverse proportion to the level of safety in the city.
6. Athens
Athens is an ideal city for a weekend - there are enough attractions here for just two days of leisurely exploration. One full day should be allocated for exploring the Parthenon and the Acropolis, for a luxurious Archaeological Museum You will need at least half a day to visit Athens, and if you still have time, check out the Monastiraki area - see the mosque and wander around the market. Despite the fact that Athens is one of the most expensive cities on our list, by European standards it is still a very cheap place, especially if you go there out of season, but late autumn or even in winter.
7. Split
Split is a less touristy copy of Dubrovnik: the same red roofs, white walls and views of the bay. The city is much cheaper and is located in Dalmatia, which is famous great beaches, so you can combine a visit to Split with beach holiday nearby. Split, of course, does not have a grand city wall like Dubrovnik, but it does have the ancient Roman palace of Emperor Diocletian, which is considered the best-preserved Roman-era palace in the world.
8. Berlin
Despite the fact that Berlin is the capital of one of the richest countries in the eurozone, prices here remain relatively low. Of course, compared to the cities of Eastern Europe, the cost of a night in hotels and hostels in Berlin is not so attractive, but due to the popularity of the destination and the large number of flights, tickets to Berlin can be bought quite inexpensively (especially if you take care of purchasing a few months before the trip).
9. Riga
If you have not yet been to Riga, try to correct this annoying mistake as soon as possible - after the transition to the euro, prices in this city are constantly rising. The historical center of Riga fully corresponds to the concept of a classic European city - open cafes, nice squares surrounded by ancient buildings with tiled roofs, paved sidewalks. Well, the advantages of a holiday in Riga for Russians are obvious: geographical proximity and the absence of a language barrier.
10. Ljubljana
Gradually, from a place that no one can find on the map, Ljubljana is turning into one of the most popular cities Europe. It has everything you need for a classic European weekend: a beautiful historical center, good restaurants, architectural monuments, including a large, perfectly preserved medieval castle. We strongly recommend going to the capital of Slovenia before it begins to attract crowds of tourists and hotel prices do not jump to the average European level.
Moscow, the capital of Russia, offers metropolitan entertainment for every taste and budget. In winter, Moscow is elegantly decorated, festive illumination creates a New Year's mood for adults and children, and gives them faith in a fairy tale. The capital has entertainment for any weather.
