Resort towns without a visa. Cheap visa-free countries. Short holiday in the mountains

Traveling to Europe was already an expensive pleasure, but given the new economic conditions Holidays in major 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 that there are a lot of tourists in Prague during the high season, 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 the rich cultural heritage, but also low prices which, alas, fall in inverse proportion to the level of security 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 a 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 purchased quite inexpensively (especially if you take care of the purchase several 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 classical 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.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. In this publication I want to briefly talk about the most popular places, or rather about the countries where you can go relax without a visa.

The list of visa-free countries for Russian citizens is current for 2016-2017 and is based on reliable information from the Consular Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry. So if you decide, just in case you are a fireman, to double-check the article below, you are welcome to go here.

There are about 67 of them (visa-free countries). At the end of the article you will find a complete list of them, but now let’s look at the 10 most popular of them among our compatriots.

Thailand. Visa-free stay up to 30 days

First place could have been given to Turkey or Egypt, if not for one BUT. And it’s significant. In November 2015, the Turkish Air Force shot down a Russian military aircraft that allegedly violated its air border, after which tour operators were banned from selling tours to this country, and also suspended regular flights to Turkey from Russia. Now, a year and a half later, it has been reopened, but Russian tourists have not yet managed to return this country to first place in popularity among tourist countries.

There is the same problem with Egypt. After the Russian civil aircraft A321 was shot down in the skies over Egypt, flights from Russia to this country ceased. IN this moment active checks are being carried out by special services of both countries in terms of improving security Russian tourists.

Therefore - Thailand! You will not need a visa if your stay in this country is no more than 30 days. Some of the most popular cities in Thailand are Phuket, Koh Samui and Chiang Mai. Why didn't I indicate the city of Pattaya? Most likely because recently tourists returning from their next trip have not spoken favorably about it. They say: “..there is nothing to do there, just a small street with entertainment, and the beaches are far from clean.” Therefore, if you want to please your eyes, you can try swimming on neighboring islands on a ferryboat. You can also read about - quite interesting article with lots of photos about the trip.

I’ll add that at the beginning of 2017, interest in Turkey is beginning to gain momentum and tour operators, catching this trend, are beginning to offer incredibly profitable deals. If we consider a trip to the end of June, then you can fly for 14 days to a 5-star hotel with a family of 2 adults and 2 children over 2 years old for 100 rubles. (all inclusive). By comparison, Bulgaria also offers tours under such conditions for 195-250 rubles.
