Going to celebrate New Year in Russia, please note that there are few good hotels here, so many people start booking new year holiday since March (!), most bookings are made in October, and in November there are no decent hotels left. However, something interesting can be “caught” in December, when there are refusals from armor. It turns out that it’s better not to take risks and plan the New Year holidays in advance - let our list of the best places to celebrate the New Year help you with this:

1. Fairy New Year in Sochi + Krasnaya Polyana

Sochi is a great choice for celebrating the New Year. The weather is warm, the streets are beautifully decorated, there is a festive atmosphere all around. And, most importantly, there is something to see in Sochi and where to go: in the Ice Palace in the Olympic Village you can go skating, then go to the Amusement Park, visit the famous Arboretum, go sailing on a yacht or go skiing to Krasnaya Polyana. At the hotel, ask for excursions, for example, to Abkhazia on Lake Ritsa, Gagra, Pitsunda, or order an extraordinary local residents- this is much more interesting, but you also need to order in advance. However, many people travel around the area on their own, taking it in - cheaply and you can choose not only the class of car, even a certain brand and year of manufacture.

Where to stay in Sochi? Choose a resort with full board(breakfast, lunch, dinner included) and with all amenities. Do not take the “soviet” one at all, so as not to overshadow the rest with a dull look of shabby walls and a lack of service. According to the reviews of vacationers, the Avangard sanatorium is the best in Sochi - inexpensive, cozy, with excellent service and a heated pool.

New Year in Vietnam 2020 - reviews of tourists

Continuing to select last-minute tours for the New Year 2020 to Asia, it is difficult to forget about Vietnam. One of the most popular destinations among our tourists and it is clear why.
Celebrating the New Year in Vietnam can be fun, interesting and not too expensive.

The weather in Vietnam is beautiful in December. Young people come here to surf, and families with children because it is beautiful and tasty, warm and sunny, and even older tourists also love Vietnam.

The Tien Dat Muine Resort in Phan Thiet Vietnam is an excellent-rated hotel offering the best rates for 8 nights with new year capture for 149,242 rubles for two.

A ticket to an excellent hotel with a high rating, for 8 nights with a direct Aeroflot flight and everything else, can be bought for 149,242 rubles for two. From December 30th to January 7th.

New Year in the Dominican Republic 2020 - reviews of tourists

If winter is not a joy for you, and financial opportunities allow you to arrange a paradise vacation, welcome to the Dominican Republic.
Punta Cana hotels are in stable demand among those who like to swim in the turquoise waves of the Atlantic Ocean and lie in silence on the white sand.

You can fly to the Dominican Republic on a direct Air France flight from Moscow. A direct flight lasts 12 hours, but for smokers it will be a surprise that even at the airport upon arrival you can smoke and, in general, you can smoke legally everywhere.

New Year 2020 in the Dominican Republic can be met for 268,000 rubles for two, at the luxurious Riu Naiboa hotel. The trip will be for a period of 7 nights, from December 30 to January 6.
The hotel has rooms for newlyweds, great food, great animation.

The reviews of tourists about the Riu Naiboa hotel are as follows: “The hotel is amazing, in the morning a free shuttle takes you to Palma Real and San Juan, where you can wander around the malls and supermarkets, buy gifts and souvenirs at normal prices. Therefore, we do not recommend buying something in souvenir shop at the hotel.

“I want to come back here again and again. The hotel is impeccable, we were on a honeymoon trip, we liked everything!”

“Foam parties at Riu Naiboa are great! The animators work 1000 percent, we had no time to be bored the whole trip. There are bars and restaurants nearby, so the holiday was a success.”

Advice!
If you return from the Dominican Republic before the New Year, you can save up to 100,000 rubles for two.

Do not forget that according to the law of R.F. Every person traveling abroad needs travel health insurance covering at least 35,000 euros.
Sometimes, insurance is already included in the cost of the tour, but as a rule, such insurances come with a deductible (mandatory payment for each visit) and cover almost nothing if medical assistance is really needed.
So, when going on vacation, especially with children and the elderly, take out insurance on your own, especially since its price for a week is cheaper than dinner in a cafe, but it can significantly save money on a trip, since medicine is expensive abroad.
The most convenient way to choose insurance is on the site, where you can compare 16 options for the most profitable and popular insurance. Registration takes a couple of minutes, the finished policy is sent by mail, all that remains is to print it.

A plus is also a short direct flight to Turkey, the fact that Turkish hotels provide excellent food even in winter, you can safely go on vacation with children, and most importantly, a tour package even at the peak and most expensive time, for the New Year, will cost like a vacation in a Soviet sanatorium in Russia.

In December-January, you can’t swim in the sea in Turkey, of course, but there are no frosts like in Russia. Pleasant climate, sea air saturated with the smell of pines and firs, the opportunity to change the situation for little money and return home rested.
So Türkiye for the New Year is an excellent choice!

You don't need a visa for Turkey.

Prices for tour packages with the capture of the New Year 2020 to Turkey start at 32,000 rubles for two. Everything is already included in this price: round-trip flight with all fees, insurance, food and transfer.

If you do not know which resort in Turkey to choose, we advise you to read the detailed article:

For example, a great hotel in Side for 35,000 rubles for two
You can meet the New Year by the sea in the cozy Palmi Garden Hotel, in Side. In total for ($550) - 35,000 rubles for two.

  1. Homeland of Father Frost and Snow Maiden. Since the winter holidays fall on the New Year holidays, the child will not refuse to meet with Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. Therefore, it is worth making a trip to - the birthplace of Father Frost and Kostroma - the birthplace of the Snow Maiden.
  • Veliky Ustyug- it's not just a city, it's a real New Year's fairy tale. All the sights here are associated with the name of the main resident of the city - Santa Claus. He has his own Residence, post office, souvenir shop and entertainment complex "Father Frost's Estate". All these places are open to visitors during the holidays and, of course, are not empty.
  • The birthplace of the Snow Maiden is considered Kostroma. The Snow Beauty lives in a fairy-tale house, where every day during the New Year holidays she arranges meetings with the children. Domovoy and Domovikha, the cat Bayun and other fairy-tale characters help her. There is something to see in the Snegurochka's tower. What is worth one Ice Hall, where all the furniture and household items are made of ice.

A trip to Kostroma can take place according to an individually compiled program, which includes a visit to the ethnographic museum, moose farm, Ipatiev Monastery and other memorable places.

  • Karelia. If you really want to go to Finland, but there is no such possibility, it is quite possible to get by with a trip to. Moreover, there is a Santa Claus here, whose name is Pakkaine.

      There is nothing left before the New Year. It's time to ask yourself where to go for the New Year holidays in 2020, so that the impressions remain the most positive.

      Therefore, we have prepared several options at once - across Russia and to Europe, at sea and in the Moscow region. For every taste and budget. Here are 15 cheap places to go for the New Year holidays in 2020. Prices are inclusive of traveling as a couple.

      Where to go for the new year 2020 in Russia

      1. Karelia

      Price: from 30 thousand rubles.

      Why not go to a place where there is even more snow and frost in a snowy and frosty winter? And in Karelia there is plenty of both. And it’s better not to sit in a log house, watching TV and listening to the snow falling from 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. Entertainment of this kind usually lasts 3-4 days, so even the busiest people can easily fit them into their busy schedule. And there will be a lot of impressions - the main thing is that the weather does not let us down.

      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 Krasnodar Territory who are next to the hot ones, and even mineral springs. Impressions will be unforgettable - hot, steaming water and snow-covered shores.

      It is worth adding that hotels are different, from quite budget options, which the average Russian can afford, to the palaces of a healthy lifestyle shining with gold and marble. It is worth adding 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.

      Tired of the ancestral bast romance, hot countries got bored, 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 meet the beginning of the new year in a real plague 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, understand how they lived and what they believed in, but also master the complex art of lassoing deer and reindeer sledding. We do not promise that these skills will be useful to you in the future, but learning new things is always interesting, right?

But on the actual New Year, there are fewer people in Europe, more air, but there will also be fewer opportunities to have fun and spend time on a grand scale.

      The trip looks most convenient from the beginning of the twentieth of December and for about two weeks; so it will be possible to celebrate both Christmas “their way” and the New Year 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, the 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 magical beauty, but in combination with snow, it makes an impression downright charming. Various events are held in Prague for the holidays - you can easily find places where you can have fun, have a tasty drink and eat.

      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 choice is Italy. It compares favorably with other European countries in that although Christmas is a family holiday there, 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 entire orchestras perform. It is worth adding that in addition to culture, Italy is also distinguished by excellent cuisine. There you can try one of the . Only about the table you need to negotiate now.

      3. Finland

      Price: from 60 thousand rubles.

      The Finns do not generally love 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 apartment 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 stumble, to relatively (by Finnish standards) populated ski hotels or spa centers. Which is more to your liking.

      By the way, if you want to go to Helsinki for a holiday, keep in mind that museum workers and attendants also rest there on holidays. So local cultural venues will most likely be closed and restaurants will slam their doors shortly before midnight.

      Holidays in the New Year holidays 2020 at sea

      We immediately warn those who aim at a beach holiday and warming up all parts of the body in a resort under the southern sun - “cheap” and “New Year” are not very compatible concepts. And it's not even the price of the tours themselves (you can find them at quite budget prices), but the price of tickets. It is they who chop off most of the money set aside for the trip.

      1. Cyprus

      Price: from 20 thousand rubles.

      Although only especially persistent Russians can swim in the winter Cypriot sea (17 degrees), it’s 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.

      Entertainment is traditional - carnivals, carols, round dances, many people with fireworks, songs, dances and laughter. We add that “their” winter is not at all “our” severe and snowy winter. In December-January, orange and tangerine trees calmly bear fruit, and the daytime temperature is about 20 °.

      2. Vietnam - without a visa

      Price: from 100 thousand rubles.

      One of the most favorite destinations during the winter. in Vietnam beach season in full swing, and the number of sunny days will plunge the Russian into euphoria. Sun and sea are accompanied by inexpensive food and lots of delicious fruits. It is important that small trips (up to 15 days) to Vietnam do not require bureaucratic red tape.

      It is worth noting that Vietnam is inexpensive, since a developed tourist infrastructure has not yet been developed there (although it is developing at an intensive pace). But weather and terrain (long gentle sandy beaches and stormy and bright tropical greenery) make you forget about the shortcomings. By the way, diving will not work - just in the winter months, the sea is rough.

      3. Caribbean

      Price: from 190 thousand rubles.

      And here is an option for those who prefer higher hotels, brighter sun, and beaches only with sparkling cleanliness. They will open their hospitable arms of the countries of the Caribbean, primarily the Dominican Republic.

      The weather there is luxurious - low humidity, sun, no precipitation, sea 27-28 ° - excellent conditions for scuba diving and other entertainment at sea. And the Latin temperament gives the New Year an unforgettable, exotic and bright color.

      1. Empress Kostroma

      Price: from 13,900 rubles.

      Everyone knows where Santa Claus lives - in Veliky Ustyug. And the habitat of his granddaughter, or daughter, Snegurochka, is Kostroma. She owns two houses there.

      The first is an official residence, like a governor's. There, the snow maiden carefully stores all the gifts she has received over a rather long life. Tours are organized for those who wish to admire them.

      And the second is designed to entertain 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 where to go for the New Year 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 young children. Such a holiday has many advantages:

      • all the benefits of civilization at hand;
      • at the same time, you can finally relax and unwind by entrusting the child to experienced animators for a while.
      • As a rule, in family holiday homes there are both 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 Brave took place, and the bulk of Doune Castle rises, where the Game of Thrones was filmed. And Edinburgh is the heart of Scotland, where every square meter of the surface is full of history and romance.

      If you want to go abroad with your children so that they 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.
