Where to go for the New Year in Europe

Where is the best place to celebrate the traditional New Year? With a tree, holiday fairs, richly decorated shop windows and mass celebrations? Of course in Europe!

Many European cities are preparing for the holidays in November and early December, and in January grand sales begin in stores.

But notice: in Europe, the main winter holiday is Christmas, while New Year is celebrated there, but on a smaller scale. Therefore, if you want to see New Year's Europe at the very time, it is better to go on vacation in the twentieth of December, and not at the end of the month.

The best option is to go to Europe on December 20-23 and spend there one and a half to two weeks, returning at the beginning of the year. So you will find both Christmas and New Year. Moreover, this can be done in different countries- for example, celebrate Christmas in Germany, and New Year in Tallinn.

Popular ski resorts where you can celebrate the New Year in Finland are Levi and Saariselka. And for those who choose where to go for the New Year with children, you can advise the surroundings of the city of Rovaniemi in Lapland - from there it is easy to get to the residence of Santa Claus.

Switzerland

Switzerland has a big advantage over other European countries - at the end of December and January there is almost always snow (at least in the mountains). Real, shaggy, lying in large snowdrifts along the streets and houses.

If you want to catch the holiday itself, it is better to go to Switzerland at Christmas, since the New Year is practically not celebrated in this country. For noisy festivities and festive fun it is worth choosing one of the major cities- Christmas markets are held there, sweets and souvenirs are sold.

If you want peace, you should choose one of the ski resorts: the celebrations there are not so large-scale, but there is an opportunity to enjoy the privacy and beautiful mountain landscapes.

The best option, in our opinion, is to celebrate Christmas in the city, and then go skiing or snowboarding to one of the Swiss resorts.

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 constant 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 with 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 you can smoke on arrival, and in general, you can smoke everywhere legally.

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

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 shopping center and supermarkets, buy gifts and souvenirs at normal prices. Therefore, we do not recommend buying anything from 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 super! Animators work 1000 percent, we had no time to get bored during the whole trip. There are bars and restaurants nearby, so the vacation 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. everyone traveling abroad needs travel medical insurance with coverage of at least 35,000 euros.
Sometimes, insurance is already included in the tour price, but as a rule, such insurance comes with a deductible (mandatory payment for each visit) and does not cover almost anything if medical assistance is really needed.
So when going on vacation, especially with children and the elderly, make your own insurance, especially since its price for a week is cheaper than a dinner in a cafe, but it can significantly save money on a trip, since medicine abroad is expensive.
The most convenient way to select insurance is on the website, 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, you just have to print it out.

An advantage is also a short direct flight to Turkey, the fact that even in winter they are well fed in Turkish hotels, you can safely go on vacation with children, and most importantly, a tour package, even at the most peak and expensive time, on New Year's, will cost like a vacation in a Soviet sanatorium in Russia.

In December-January, of course, you don't buy in the sea in Turkey, 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 environment for little money and return home refreshed.
So Turkey is a great choice for the New Year!

The skating rinks are flooded, the city tree froze in anticipation of round dances, the snow cover has prepared for the reflection of colored lights, and the TV program is filled with funny programs. The New Year is approaching again, and its foreboding envelops the soul with children's hopes for miracles, fulfillment of desires, and 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 dress up 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 is interesting, after all, to try what the New Year is, celebrated on a tropical beach. 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 for your family wallet.

Philippines

The white sand of the Philippine beaches resembles pictures from advertising brochures, and the gentle sea invitingly sparkles 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 deep in your soul. The mild summer weather and comfortable water temperatures only confirm your guess. The most popular among tourists is Boracay Island, 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. As for accommodation, budget hotels offer rooms costing from $ 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 best 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 somewhat cheaper: tickets from Moscow to Ho Chi Minh City and to reverse side cost from 52,000 to 76,000 rubles, and the prices for hotel accommodation are similar to those in the Philippines.

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 warm sea and night 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 the tourist popularity of Thailand. 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 has an excellent selection of beaches for every taste: quiet semi-wild coves, spacious multi-kilometer 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 for tourists here: 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 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!
