Fresh ideas of where to go for the New Year 2020 at sea, in Europe abroad. Tours are inexpensive and interesting

There is a good Russian proverb that says: “Prepare a sleigh in summer and a cart in winter.” The meaning of the proverb is that in order to manage everything, not waste time and be profitable, you need to prepare for everything in advance. And when traveling and traveling abroad, this rule works even more so. When planning to travel somewhere, especially to a country far from Russia, you need to think about everything in advance. For example, read about the climate of a place, find out about local weather, check prices, ask for reviews from those who have already been there, and so on. And it’s right that 99% of tourists prefer to search and book tours for the New Year 2020 in advance. Our information article will tell you where to go inexpensively for this New Year, where prices are not indicated, but there are interesting information about countries where it’s warm and sunny in winter, and also where you can go for a New Year’s fairy tale. Ready? Let's start looking at a small TOP.

It's no secret that most tourists prefer to celebrate the New Year in warm countries, where they can sunbathe, swim in the sea and get real pleasure. And that’s right, what’s the point in flying from cold and snowy Russia to an equally cold and snowy country? Although some people like it and we’ll talk about it below. In the meantime...

Where to go inexpensively at sea for the New Year 2020: tours, countries and resorts

Resorts in Thailand – without changing traditions.

For a long time now, resorts in Thailand have been leading the preferences of Russians in winter. And there are explanations for this. Firstly, it’s beautiful there, and many tourists, after a holiday in the country, begin to wonder how to buy a house there and how to stay for at least six months while it’s freezing in Russia.

Indeed - Thailand beautiful country with its own flavor. Local beaches beautiful and unique. The sunset on them is no worse than on the beaches of Cuba. The fine sand is so soft that you don't need shoes. Walking barefoot on the sand is a pleasure that can’t be compared to anything else. Palm trees grow on the beaches, in the shade of which you can wait out the heat and take a short nap right on the shore of the endless sea.

The second reason for Thailand's popularity is prices. If you fly here from Moscow or from the European part of our country, you will be surprised, because the price of the flight will be higher than the price of the vacation itself. But residents of eastern Russia generally fly and vacation in Thailand for almost nothing. Fortunately, their flight does not take long, and the vacation is already cheap. In fact, a 12-14 day holiday in Thailand will cost you 40,000 thousand rubles. But it can be even cheaper if you choose a hotel not on the seashore, and not with all the entertainment.

The most famous and popular resorts in the country: Phuket and Pattaya. They receive up to 80% of all tourists in the country.

Vietnam is a new trend.

Another country South-East Asia, which is loved by tourists from Russia.
Vietnam is a new fashionable destination where it's great to spend time in winter period. After all, when there is frost and snow in Russia, then in Vietnam the heat is up to forty and there is a gorgeous warm sea.

The advantage of Vietnamese resorts over others is that they are young. Many of them are only a few years old, and some hotels and resorts are still under construction. After all, several years ago there was a war in the country, and now the construction of resort areas is in full swing.
And I must say that they make hotels and places to stay that are simply fantastic! But the local nature also helps. The scenery is so beautiful that you won't want to go back. Beaches with white sand, they stretch so far along the sea that they seem endless.

There is also a lot of entertainment in the country. There is the whole island, which has one huge amusement park. And you can only get to the island by cable car and it is the only one in the world cable car which passes over the sea!
We think it wouldn’t hurt to remind you about the country’s attractions, since there are thousands of them here. The local culture is very ancient and there are still temples in the country where they keep traditions instilled in the people thousands of years ago. Vietnamese houses with incredible roofs are especially popular among tourists - this is what distinguishes the country from others.

Goa is another India.
We are all accustomed to the fact that in India there is a lot of dancing, singing and love. But Goa is a completely different India, which is not like anything else.
The beaches of Goa are spacious and can comfortably accommodate everyone. The coast is completely sandy. Occurs White sand, dark and yellow. There is a lot of entertainment on the beaches, but the main thing is elephant riding. Tourists line up to climb and ride on the giant.

But even in this tourist center you still feel like you are in India. Museums, exhibitions, local residents, culture and much more - all this reminds you of this. And that's not a bad thing. After all, India is a country with rich history and its long traditions. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to learn something new about her.
Goa is divided into two parts: southern and northern. The southern part is richer and more beautiful, while the northern part is still under construction and local tourists mostly relax there.

Where to go abroad for the New Year 2020 in Europe.

Winter in Europe beach resorts resting. Even in Spain and Portugal it is cold to swim, and sunbathing is not always possible. But still, the flow of tourists to European countries in winter does not decrease. Where is everyone going?

Prague is the best place to celebrate the New Year.

We flew to Prague to celebrate the New Year back in Soviet time. And after the collapse of the union, even more people began to fly here. The peak of popularity of the capital of the Czech Republic came in 2000, when half a million Russians flew here for Christmas and New Year. Now the demand has dropped a little. But still, one hundred thousand Russian tourists happily celebrate two Christmases and one New Year in Prague.

Especially for these holidays, a tall Christmas tree is erected in the capital and decorated with lights and toys. Shops offer discounted goods and souvenirs, and cafes and restaurants have a huge selection of varied food.
All the streets light up with lights for Christmas. A simple walk in the evening in Prague will allow you to plunge into a fairy tale and understand that this is truly a magical time.

Finland is close to our homeland.

It so happens that many Russians prefer to celebrate the New Year in neighboring Finland. It would seem - why, because it is very close to us. But in the country of a thousand lakes, everything is completely different.

As already said, Finland is a country of a thousand lakes. Probably not on earth more space, so many lakes. And the local forests are truly beautiful and magical. Tourists prefer to rent a house on the shore of a lake in the forest, where there is peace and quiet.
In winter in Suomi you can walk through the forest, ski, go fishing or attend mass events, of which there are thousands.

Milan – fashionable new year.

Young people who consider themselves fashionable prefer to come to Milan for the New Year. There are a lot of tourists here around Christmas, so you need to book your hotel in advance. And since there are sales in the city in winter, you can relax and buy a lot of beautiful and fashionable clothes. But what a vacation when price tags with discounts of up to 80 percent hang on every shop window!

There are many places in the world where the New Year will be celebrated in a special way. We have already listed some, but there are hundreds of other, no less beautiful places.
For example, Japan - there you will be one of the first to celebrate the New Year. And if you want real adventure, then fly to Australia. Every year the country takes first place in the beauty and duration of the New Year's fireworks. And this year they will probably break their record.
Another place is Cuba. New Year on the island of freedom you will never forget. And you will dream about sunrises and sunsets on the ocean all your life.
You should not refuse tours to Africa. For example, in Egypt it is hot and sunny, and in Tunisia and Morocco there are many palaces and historical monuments. So there is a choice of where to go, and it is great.

In the interactive part of the museum - the auto town, little visitors can take a ride in a vintage car, mastering the skills of driving a pedal car and getting acquainted with the rules traffic. Here you can play, draw, and take part in free master classes. In the cinema hall you can watch a short film “The Tale of the Master Wizard” about how old cars are restored.

The Moscow Zoo is interesting for children not only in summer. A real miracle that can only be seen in winter are polar bears, who are not afraid to take a swim in a cold bath even in the most severe frost. By the way, polar bear cubs are born only in winter. Children under 17 years of age can visit the zoo for free.

The Museum of Moscow is the best place to study and get acquainted with the history of the capital. When visiting with the whole family, a ticket for 2 adults and 1 or 2 children costs 480 rubles. And for those who are passionate about technology and cars, we can recommend the Moscow Transport Museum with a very impressive collection of retro models, special equipment and modern vehicles. Ticket for children (7-17 years old) – 200 rubles.

The Museum of Childhood on Lubyanka presents everyday objects that surrounded our loved ones when they were little. In the Living Systems museum you can learn in a playful way how the human body works. The Doll Museum will introduce you to amazing dolls from different times, collected from all over the world. And at the Kuklachev Theater you have the opportunity to communicate with tailed cat artists before the performance.

“Panorama 360” is an observation deck (by the way, the highest in Europe) with stunning views of the capital in Moscow City. But children are interested in visiting here not only for this reason. Ice cream is made in this factory building. And upstairs on the platform there is a smaller copy of it, where the entire technological process of making a sweet dessert is clearly demonstrated, which you can try there. The Skyscraper Museum is also located here.

In Kuzminki Park you can visit Father Frost (by the way, he lives in his Moscow estate all year round), as well as visit his wooden mansion and the Snow Maiden's mansion, make your most cherished wish on the New Year's throne, write and leave a letter to Father Frost at the post office, take a walk through the fairytale forest. Or you can go on a country trip “Visiting the Christmas Tree” (Museum New Year's toys in Klin), get acquainted with the famous exhibition “VDNKh - Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow”, visit the Soyuzmultfilm film studio, as well as the Moscow Planetarium, Ostankino Tower, the largest aquarium in Europe - Moskvarium.

By the way, in the winter vacation 77 popular museums in Moscow welcome all visitors free of charge. Among them are the Museum of Cosmonautics, the Tretyakov Gallery, the New Manege, the museum-apartment of Marina Tsvetaeva, A. S. Pushkin, Sergei Yesenin, M. A. Bulgakov, the estates “Izmailovo”, “Kolomenskoye”, “Lublino” and others. Outside of holidays the most best museums capitals can also be visited for free, but only on Sundays. And children under 16 years old can do this at any time (this rule does not apply only to children's museums). However, some events may still require a fee, so check the information on museum websites.

For savings and convenience, you can purchase electronic cards Moscow CityPass Junior and Moscow CitiPass. For quite reasonable money (a 3-day card costs 6,500 rubles) you can visit more than 60 museums of the capital without waiting in line, visit Zaryadye Park, or go on an excursion on a double-decker bus.

New Year in Thailand

We celebrated the New Year in Bali, and for the January holidays we were in Thailand

Russians have long chosen Thailand as a place where they can spend an inexpensive holiday at sea. Trips here are organized year-round, and the cost of the tour even during the season is quite affordable - from 68-70 thousand rubles for two.

Pros of Thailand:

  • + Departures – from most Russian cities

  • + Phuket is the best winter resort for vacation with a child
  • + Vivid show programs in hotels and bars
  • + Excursions, both natural and culturally inclusive
  • + Exotic fruits – mango, papaya, mangosteen, dragonfruit, durian

New Year's holidays in Thailand will be of interest to both lovers of noisy parties and those who appreciate solitude. The latter can go to some small and sparsely populated Thai island and celebrate January 1 on a deserted beach - under the bright stars and the sounds of the surf.

When planning a New Year's trip abroad to the sea, it is worth considering some minuses:

  • – December-January is the peak tourist season. The Thais, who are well aware of this, double their prices. Therefore, it is worth booking your tour 3-4 months in advance.
  • – Almost everywhere there are a lot of people on the beaches, in entertainment venues, in markets and just on the streets.

New Year in Vietnam

Where else to relax on the warm sea during the New Year holidays besides the already familiar Thai resorts? Many people choose Vietnam. Its popularity is still gaining momentum, so a trip here is an extraordinary and interesting way to celebrate January 1st.

2. Happy New Year, Cuba!

Why here? Freedom Island is one of the best places to go for New Year 2020. Here in winter beautiful weather: very warm (but not stuffy like in summer), the sea is perfect, and the sky is almost always cloudless. Cheerful and always cheerful locals, the best cigars in the world, almost antique cars driving around the streets.

Price issue. Holidays in Cuba (including New Year's) cannot be called excessively expensive: housing, food and entertainment do not cost much, but, alas, you will have to spend money on the flight. You can try to catch an inexpensive last minute tour on the website, and if you prefer exclusively independent travel, then you should start purchasing air tickets 2-4 months before your trip.

Prices for New Year 2020:

  • You can find a tour to Cuba from Moscow from 150 thousand rubles for two (2-3* hotel, 7 nights).
  • Usually tickets cost 60-80 thousand, but sometimes you can find about 45 thousand rubles. Search tickets →
  • In Havana you can find decent 3* hotels at prices starting from $80/night for New Year's dates. Find a hotel →

3. New Year in the Maldives

Why here? This is one of the best places where you can hide from all worries and not worry about anything. Real paradise. Ideal for complete lazy rest. And the period of New Year holidays is perhaps the most best time for this. Let the whole world remain somewhere far away, thousands of kilometers away ocean waters! Turn off your phone and forget about the Internet - why distract yourself from true pleasure?

Prices for New Year 2020:

  • New Year tours to the Maldives cost from 280 thousand rubles for two (10 nights, 3-5*).
  • A flight to the Maldives usually costs from 26 thousand rubles. But flying for New Year 2020 will no longer be as cheap - prices for flights at the end of December - beginning of January do not fall below 60-90 thousand rubles. Search tickets →
  • 3* hotels on Maldives(not on the shore) cost from $55. Find a hotel →

However, the Maldives is a traditional package destination, and if you don’t want to bother with organizing a vacation, it’s easier to buy a tour and - all documents will be sent to you by email.

4. Seychelles

Why here? For the same reasons as the Maldives. Seychelles is a place for those who value privacy and comfort.

Price issue. As with the Maldives, the Seychelles has now become more accessible. Try to catch a last minute tour on.

Prices for New Year 2020:

  • The cost of tours is from 180 thousand rubles. (if departures are on December 26-27) and from 200 thousand - for departures on December 30-31.
  • A flight from Moscow to Mahe usually costs from 30 thousand rubles. (for a round trip), but during the New Year and Christmas holidays the price increases significantly - from 50 thousand rubles. Search tickets →
  • The price tag for 2-3* hotels in the Seychelles for the New Year period is from $60 per night, which is quite good for a holiday on the islands, and even during the holidays. True, such an inexpensive hotel will not be located on the shore itself - you will have to walk to the beach. Find a hotel →

II. In pursuit of the spirit of Christmas: we are going to Europe for the New Year!

The sea is good. The sea is wonderful. There may be nothing better in the world than the sea, but one way or another during the New Year, many people really want to be in the center of the holiday and feel the Christmas spirit. If this is about you, then the best option where to go to celebrate the New Year 2020 will be Europe.

You can enjoy the magical New Year and Christmas atmosphere in many European countries: Great Britain, France, Germany, Scandinavian countries - any place where people celebrate Christmas and snow falls will do.

1. It’s inexpensive to travel to Europe for the New Year

Europe is not the cheapest region in terms of holidays, but even here there are several countries where you can relax relatively inexpensively during the New Year holidays and fully enjoy the magical Christmas atmosphere. For those who want to relax on New Year and Christmas in Europe as cheaply as possible, countries such as Czech Republic, Cyprus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Poland, Slovenia. Basically, Germany- also not the most expensive European country.

2. To Europe for Christmas and New Year, without regretting anything!

More expensive options where you can celebrate and have a great New Year 2020 and Christmas are France, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Ireland, UK and Sweden. In the countries of the Alpine region (Switzerland, France and Austria) you can ski, visit Christmas markets, admire the decoration of shopping galleries and city streets in general.

In most cases, when people imagine the Christmas atmosphere, the image that comes to mind is London. The capital of England is truly one of the most suitable places to go here for New Year and Catholic Christmas. At this time, London turns into a real fairy tale! In fact, going on a trip to England is a completely feasible task for any person: getting a visa is not as easy as Schengen, but air tickets from Moscow to London are quite inexpensive (thanks to the low-cost airline easyJet). So Christmas London is much closer than you thought.

You can search for air tickets to the cities you are interested in using the Skyscanner and Aviasales search engines.
