Folk festivities are also held in other places: Gorky Park, VDNKh, Poklonnaya Gora. For children, performances are staged on Pushkinskaya Square and Tsvetnoy Boulevard. If the noise gets boring, you can go to one of the many Moscow parks.

Sochi

Why you should go: here you can relax, enjoying the fresh air and relative warmth, and, if you wish, go downhill skiing in Krasnaya Polyana.

Of course, it is worth taking a walk along Bauman's pedestrian street and the Kremlin, which is incredibly beautifully illuminated.

Veliky Ustyug

Why go: look into the residence of the country's main Santa Claus, which was built legally, so no one took it off from drones.

What about the weather: winters are frosty here, reaching -20 ° С, but is this an obstacle for those who want to get into a New Year's fairy tale?

It's nice to celebrate the New Year on the shore of the warm sea in light clothes, while compatriots are launching fireworks and setting fireworks in earflaps at -25. Undoubtedly, sea vacations in the middle of winter are one of the most popular among Russians.

Egypt

Of all the resorts for the New Year holidays, Russians most often choose Egypt.

The destination is popular due to the absence of sweltering heat. During the day it is quite warm here, you can swim and sunbathe, the temperature is comfortable, the nights are already cooler. This weather is more like our Black Sea coast in September - the velvet season. During the New Year period, prices rise slightly, but compared to other resorts, the rest is the most affordable.

Israel

A good alternative to Egypt, although prices are slightly higher. It is better to go to Eilat: the swimming season is open here all year round.

The weather does not please on hot days; wind, rain, and cloudy weather are possible here. But the Dead Sea does not lose its properties, and tourists take advantage of the opportunity and swim in any weather.

Thailand

The direction is considered one of the most budgetary, and the weather pampers with warmth. The level of service is not worse than at expensive resorts.

To visit the residence of Santa Claus in Lapland is the dream of many children (and adults). New Year's holidays can be very active here. Cozy warm cottages are rented for overnight stay. Activities include outdoor games, reindeer riding, skiing and snowmobiling. The weather is not much different from the Russian winter: there is a lot of snow and the air temperature is not lower than -15. A truly winter fairy tale awaits you here.

England

London at the end of December is unusually beautiful: illumination, fabulously decorated shop windows, festive fireworks over the Thames. Magic is in the air under the battle of Big Ben.

Accommodation is possible both in a separate hotel room and in an alpine house with a sauna and a swimming pool for several people.

Slopes of Turkey

In recent years, in the field of ski tourism, Turkey is in no way inferior to European resorts. Holidays in Turkey for the New Year will cost about 20% less than in Europe.

There are many advantages here.

  1. The flight from Russia is closer and cheaper.
  2. "All inclusive", as during the summer holidays.
  3. The price of the lifts is usually included in the tour price.

Turkey is now opening up to tourists from a new perspective.

Slopes of the Caucasus

The slopes of the Caucasus will compete with the Alps. Distinctive features of local resorts are as follows.

  1. Cheaper than European resorts.
  2. Wild nature.
  3. Less developed infrastructure.
  4. Hotels and hotels for different budgets.

The Caucasus is famous for three directions.

1. Elbrus region

There are several peaks at the disposal of skiers.

  1. - the highest point for notorious extremals. Its Elbrus-Azau zone is distinguished by gentle slopes and is suitable even for beginners.
  2. Gara-Bashi (the summit is lower than Elbrus) for climbers.
  3. Cheget - a mountain with steep and difficult tracks (some of the most extreme in the world). Here the danger is the difference in height and the likelihood of an avalanche.

The Elbrus region is far from Europe in terms of infrastructure development, but everything you need is there.

A small village with good trails, within walking distance from which there are lifts. There are trails for both children and extreme professionals - wild trails on the northern slope, which can only be reached by helicopter. In Dombai, the infrastructure is being actively developed, hotels and cottages are being built.

3. Krasnaya Polyana

The resort is the closest to the European level. For the 2014 Olympics, it was equipped with new lifts. A new road to the airport and 4 complexes with hotels and tracks were built. There are also eco-houses for several families. The most expensive is the Rosa Khutor complex.

Holidays in Russia

There are many beautiful places in our country where you can go for the New Year holidays with the whole family. It is advisable to prepare in advance: book rooms or cottages early, buy tickets. Indeed, closer to the end of December, they simply will not be.

In the capital of Russia. In Moscow, the holidays are always wider, more enchanting and brilliant. A tall, beautiful Christmas tree, an elegant Red Square, all the time neon lights, a festive mood and the scent of tangerines.

Everything would be fine, but many, many people scare off sensible tourists to come to celebrate the New Year on Red Square. After all, besides the center, there are other places where the New Year's Eve will be held on Hurray. At your service:

  • Poklonnaya mountain - ice figures

Once friends invited us to Northern Palmyra. Naturally, we did not spend anything on rental housing - we lived with friends.

They decided to celebrate New Year's Eve at the Bolshaya Kuhny restaurant on Ligovsky Prospekt. We were bribed by the festive program "Blue Light", in the tradition of that time. Everyone could go on stage and sing a song. It was a lot of fun and culminated in the fireworks we watched from the restaurant's rooftop terrace. The price of the banquet is 7500 rubles from the nose.

Kazan - we celebrate the New Year at the Riviera water park

This is where to go to rest on the New Year 2019 in Russia, and this is to the capital of Tatarstan - Kazan. A lot of entertainment, a beautiful city, impressionable people.

Tourists often visit the main streets of the city - Bauman and Kremlin. On the days before the holidays, they will shine with multicolored lights, by the way, there are many historical monuments. Be sure to visit the Kazan Kremlin, the "falling" Syuyumbike tower and the Kul-Sharif mosque.

The main New Year's events take place in the Millennium Park, in the center of which a city Christmas tree is installed. On the territory of the Eriyat Puppet Theater, you can admire fabulous ice sculptures. An entire ice town is being built here. You can skate on the Nefis ice rink, the largest in Russia.

Active people are attracted here by the entertainment complex "Riviera", in particular the water park - the place where to celebrate the New Year 2019.

This is a splendid place: 50 roller coaster rides with "mad" names that justify themselves - "Leap into the Abyss", "Black Hole", "Kamikaze", "Bermuda Descent", "Niagara", "Loop", "Tornado", "Anaconda". Surfing on the imitation sea wave "Flow Rider" is more than enough extreme.

Our experience and feedback. I came across a sign with an advertisement "New Year's Eve in the Kazan Riviera in one day" and the price is so ridiculous.

And what was included in this price was fine for us. I want to make a reservation, this is a bus tour. That is, on December 31, we were put on a comfortable bus to Kazan. Upon arrival, we had lunch and went on an excursion:

  • Kazan Kremlin, Kul-Sharif Mosque, Palace of the President of the Republic of Tatarstan, Leaning Syuyumbike Tower.

Where to go to rest on the New Year 2019 in warm countries by the sea?

Imagine, and now take the New Year's holidays, the beach, the sea, palm trees - "juicy" and incredible vacation for the New Year - "lick your fingers"! Although they say that about delicious food, but now it is also appropriate.

Now about the most important thing: we will review the warm countries, where to go for the New Year at sea. We will try to acquaint you with the prices for flights, hotels and tours (relevant at the time of this writing). And yet, it is not very possible to spend the New Year at sea inexpensively - this is abroad, this distance, this is exotic. Below we will still give the opportunity to tell you where to go on a budget to the sea for the New Year.

Maldives and Seychelles - the best beach holiday in winter without a visa

Indian Ocean, few people, no noisy discos - comfortable Maldives and Seychelles. Here you need to rest at any time, even in December or January. In winter, the season begins here. Russian tourists willingly come here to celebrate the New Year.

Although the local religion does not coincide with Christmas, the hospitable owners of the islands organize everything for guests to have fun and enjoyment. They put up a Christmas tree, hire animators, throw parties. And on New Year's Eve, the sky over the Maldives will be illuminated by flashes of fireworks and fireworks.

These islands have always been considered an elite beach holiday. But if you book in advance, then you will be able to save money and have an inexpensive vacation for the New Year. For Russians, a visa is not required. The price of a hotel room is from 60 USD, and a round-trip ticket from Moscow to Male is from 450 USD. New Year's banquet - from 50 USD.

In general, it is better to purchase a New Year's burning tour (you can "catch" it for 1300 USD for two) or on your own. The cheapest island in the Maldives is Maafushi. Three-star hotel "Island Cottage" - 45 USD.

Niche tourists are advised to bring alcohol with you (in soda bottles) - prices for champagne and horse wine.

The Philippines is a great option where to go for the New Year at sea without a visa

Let's look to the east, namely the Philippine Islands. In December-January here + 27 ... + 28 ° С at sea and up to + 31 ° С on the coast. Romantics should go to Panglao Island, while activists and hangouts should go to Boracay.

At Christmas, the capital of the Philippines hosts a variety of festive fun activities. A notable one is "Kris Kringle", when you give gifts to friends through an intermediary (as if anonymously). From December 20 to December 25, there is an opportunity to get to the Lantern Festival in Laoag - thousands of lanterns are lit like that Star of Bethlehem when Jesus Christ was born.

If you choose a tour of the islands of the Philippines, this is a great option where to celebrate the New Year 2018 at sea. But if the prices were more modest - and so I can tell you not even very cheap: an air ticket booked in advance - from $ 600 in both directions, housing - from $ 10 per day.

Minus the price add the daily ringing of bells - this noise is annoying. We flew to rest. They say that the quietest and most peaceful island is Bantayan.

Dominican Republic - this is where to celebrate New Year 2019

This Caribbean beach destination is becoming increasingly popular with Russians. People come here for white sand, for the warm sea, for quiet comfort. The weather in December-January is great for swimming, surfing and diving.

More often they rest in Punta Cana and Puerto Plata, Juan Dolio and Boca Chica.

Incendiary Latin American dances all New Year's Eve. The holiday takes place in an enchanting show with music and sambo. In Santo Domingo, a New Year's carnival procession takes place. After celebrating the New Year, you can go to Samana Bay, where whales come, or on an excursion to the ancient Indian caves of Taino.

The price tag for holidays for the New Year in the Dominican Republic is simply cosmic. Tour voucher for two with an "all inclusive" program from 3700 USD, but there is always a way to take advantage of last minute offers or fly on your own.

Bali - an inexpensive winter vacation

To relax by the warm sea abroad, you need to choose the islands of Indonesia. Bali is the most popular among Russian tourists. Here, a wonderful beach holiday is combined with excursions to ancient sacred temples.

The only negative is the poorly developed transport structure. It is practically nonexistent. Be sure to rent a bike or scooter, taxis are expensive.

The Balinese celebrate the New Year twice: with us from December 31 to January 1 and in the spring - the traditional one. As in Russia or Europe, one cannot do without an elegant palm tree. Buffet and fun music. Discuss the terms of the New Year's banquet in advance.

With prices much better than previous countries. You can pick up and purchase a ticket for two within $ 2100.

Israel - for the New Year at the Red and Dead Sea

The cheapest option for meeting and resting for the New Year at sea is Israel. This country is a great alternative to Egypt, which our brother really likes. We have nothing against it. Egypt is really a great country for a beach holiday and not only.

But we need "bread and circuses" and we love unbeaten paths. So we chose Israel. And why: close location to Russia (not a long flight), inexpensive, Russian-speaking population, warm sea, health resorts.

So a New Year's beach vacation to the promised land can be purchased for $ 1400. Flights from Moscow to the most popular among Russians resort in Israel - Eilat cost from $ 400.

Where else to go to rest for the new year 2019 abroad in warm countries inexpensively

There are many options where you can still meet and spend New Year's holidays at sea. Everything depends on the price of the trip, the remoteness of the country and its tour service. And below I will also list a number of warm countries where you can go to the sea in winter and the approximate cost of a tour for two for a week:

  • Egypt (Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh). Attractive price from 800 USD - cheaper, “only to grandma”.
  • Thailand (Koh Samui, Phuket, Pattaya). The cheapest package starts at $ 1,500.
  • Vietnam. From 2000 USD.
  • India (Goa). Another budget country is early booking from $ 1600.
  • Canary Islands (Tenerife). From 2800 USD.
  • UAE (Arab Emirates, Sharjah). From 1400 bucks.

Where to go for the New Year 2019 with children inexpensively

The most incorruptible and unpretentious tourists are children. With them, of course, the rest will not be entirely complete, as some might think. But you just do not know how fun and exciting time with children can be.

New Year for them is the second holiday of the year after their birthday. They are also waiting for him, like the name day, counting the days ahead of time. What do they want to see in these days of December-January? This and:

  • Christmas tree. How fun it is to dress her up.
  • Ded Moroz and Snegurochka,
  • New Year gifts,
  • New Year's holidays.

In my opinion, children do not care where to celebrate the New Year and where to go for the New Year's holidays - the main thing is that mom and dad are always there.

Above, if you have read this article in full, I gave examples of where you can go with children on New Year's. I will repeat myself briefly. Important!

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

When planning a trip for the New Year abroad at sea, it is worth considering some disadvantages:

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

Which resort to choose : any except Koh Samui and Koh Phangan

The cheapest New Year tour is to buy with a departure until December 24-26. Savings can reach up to 50%. Tours after December 27 are much more expensive.

Goa

Where to go for New Year 2020 inexpensively? Goa is the cheapest and warmest thing that can happen during the holidays.

Someone claims that the state for recreation is “cheap and cheerful”, someone is delighted with the local “five” (which can be counted on the fingers of one hand), and someone reads reviews about the terrible unsanitary conditions and crosses the destination from the list. But it's definitely worth a trip, we are going too :)

On New Year's Eve, the celebrations will not be large-scale, either in the hotel restaurant or on the beach with impromptu fireworks.

Another scenario for celebrating the New Year in Turkey is Istanbul. Cats, bagels, light snow (possibly) and the Bosphorus with seagulls - we are delighted with the city in any weather :)

The only thing that "disappoints" in resort Turkey is the temperature outside at + 10 ° С ... + 12 ° С. There is a lot to oppose - a heated pool!

Which resort to choose: Istanbul or Belek or Antalya

From 45,000 rubles for two
Flights \u003e\u003e from 6,000 rubles round trip per person!

Israel


Our trip to Israel, December

Our traditional New Year in Israel is celebrated by numerous emigrants from the USSR and Russia. And, of course, tourists who decide to meet on January 1 at the resorts of the Mediterranean Sea or go on a winter vacation to the Dead Sea - to improve their health and gain strength before the long Russian winter. Both the cost of the trip to Israel and the weather will depend on what place a tourist chooses for New Year's holiday. There are as many as 3 seas in the country: the Mediterranean cold at this time, the warm Red and the very salty Dead Sea.

In the immigrant environment, in many hotels and cultural and entertainment establishments, the night of January 1 is noisy and fun. Traditional New Year's dishes can be purchased for the festive table in numerous Russian shops. Performances with Ded Moroz and Snegurochka are organized for children, young people go to have fun in clubs and bars, and middle-aged and older people "occupy" restaurants and cafes.

During the holidays, everyone who comes to celebrate the New Year in Israel will find something to their liking:

  • beach relaxation (unfortunately, swimming in December and January in the Mediterranean Sea is still cold); but only 6 hours from Tel Aviv and you will find yourself on the warm Red Sea
  • health and wellness vacation at the Dead Sea
  • visiting local shrines and attractions

Which resort to choose: we talk in detail in the mentioned article

From 80,000 rubles for 7 nights for two

For those who prefer to plan their holidays in advance, we have collected the best holiday destinations for every taste and budget.

    Up to 15 thousand rubles

    Berlin, Germany


    A gala ball in a medieval castle or non-stop hopping bar, international festivities or a Michelin star dinner - in Berlin, it is possible to combine several New Year's scenarios at once. Regardless of how you ultimately decide to spend the holiday, improvising in the German capital is possible and necessary. The same with the menu: baked carp, an endless variety of cold cuts, aromatic cheeses, as well as beer, punch, punch and a little champagne at exactly midnight - Berlin can be called the intersection point of a variety of gastronomic tastes.

    2.2 thousand rubles per night

    Poland


    If you want to celebrate the New Year in keeping with the main traditions, but in new decorations, go to Warsaw. A European fair, hot spiced wine and a Polish festive "pernik" will be added to the usual fun in the main square of the city and the bursts of fireworks. A couple of hours before midnight, join locals and tourists on Palace Square. Throw a couple of zlotys to the street musicians and take a seat closer to the tree, and when the clock strikes 12 times, try to shout "Szczęśliwego nowego roku" as loudly as possible. On the first day of the year, conquer a couple of slopes or go on excursions in Wroclaw and Krakow. In the latter, don't miss the chance to drop by the Copernicus' restaurant.

You can spend the main night as your heart desires - if you are not afraid of thunder of firecrackers and love dashing fun, go with the Tiflis youth to Rustaveli Avenue. And if you prefer to celebrate at the table, then choose any restaurant you like. True, a decent feast will be only at first - Georgians love and know how to have fun. One night in Tbilisi is definitely not enough: it is customary to feast on spicy dishes, say long toasts and dance here from December 31 to January 2. So it will be possible to explore the treasures of Georgia - if you have the strength left for that - only from the 3rd day. Another day can be spent on a thoughtful rest with a visit to the famous Abanotubani sulfur baths.

    Petrozavodsk, Russia


    Karelia is an unobvious and very winter destination for those who prefer to receive congratulations in their native language. Celebrate the holiday the way it was done a couple of centuries ago on the Kizhi island, or go for a walk around Petrozavodsk itself. Warm up in cozy restaurants and taste hearty sweet pies, without which the New Year cannot be imagined in Karelia. On the first day of 2018, you can walk along the embankment of Lake Onega, and if you come with children, then look into a couple of fabulous museums. For example, in the "House of Dolls" or the maritime museum of the club "Polar Odysseus".

However, downstairs, in the center of Almaty, you will not get bored either: there are parties in spacious bars, and young people dancing right on the street, having fun for a few more days.

    In Rome, it is not customary to greet the New Year with salutes and festivities. This is a bohemian party in Trastevere, prosecco and conversations with charming Italians. The main thing here is not to stay in one place for a long time. With gratitude, accept compliments from hospitable interlocutors and do not count the places where you go. In the morning, walk along the Tiber embankment, bathed in the warm light of old lanterns. On January 1, not a single institution will work, and this day can be devoted to walking around the half-empty city, acquaintance with architectural monuments and just rest.

    The cost of living in a double room in a 3 * hotel - from 2.6 thousand rubles per night

    Salzburg, Austria

Flickering braids of garlands, bunches of Christmas tree decorations and coniferous wreaths have been decorating the city since the beginning of December, and in any of its alleys one can feel like in a medieval Austrian fairy tale. Domplatz and Residenzplatz are home to some of the best festive markets in Europe. And it's not just about old jewelry, fragrant pretzels and sweet mulled wine, but also the feeling of privacy that appears among the high mountains. On New Year's Eve, buy sparklers in one of the fairgrounds and meet midnight with the residents of the city to the sound of the bells of Salzburg Cathedral.

It differs from our usual holiday mainly in that the main character here is not Santa Claus or Santa, but in fact, Saint Basil. Head to Syntagma Square and join the crowded sirtaki dance under the flamboyant fireworks. When midnight comes, smash a large pomegranate fruit on a stone wall for good luck, and in the morning hurry to the nearest bakery to taste the lush basilopita there. If you're lucky, a good-natured neighbor will treat you to a traditional New Year's cake - in this case, chew the dessert more carefully: the Greeks like to put a coin in the dough (also for luck).

In a few hours, the salutes will stop, but the sky will not darken, but will only become more beautiful thanks to the magnificent northern lights - a sight worthy of the long journey to Reykjavik.

And for those who do not want to spend too much, there is always a free beach in the Jumeirah region. Stock up on food and drinks and come here early for good seats.
