New Year in Thailand

We celebrated New Year in Bali, and on January holidays were in Thailand

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

Pros of Thailand:

• + Departures - from most cities of Russia
• + In stock - everything for which tours abroad are purchased for the New Year 2020 - sunny weather, clear blue sea and endless sandy beaches
• + Phuket - the best winter resort for holidays with a child
• + Bright show programs in hotels and bars
• + Excursions, both natural and cultural-communicative
• + Exotic fruits - mango, papaya, mangosteen, dragonfruit, durian

New Year's holiday in Thailand will be interesting for both lovers of noisy parties and lovers of privacy. The latter can go to some small and sparsely populated Thai island and meet on January 1 on a deserted beach - under bright stars and to the sounds of the surf.

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

• - December-January is the peak of the tourist season. Well-informed Thais inflate prices twice. Therefore, it is worth booking a tour for 3-4 months.
• - 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 on New Year's holidays except the already familiar Thai resorts? Many choose Vietnam. Popularity is still gaining momentum, so a trip here is an extraordinary and interesting way to meet January 1.

Here's what to expect from the New Year in Vietnam:

• + reasonable prices (for example, lunch in a good restaurant will cost $ 20-30)
• + bronze tan and warm weather
• + Well-developed tourism infrastructure and decent service
• + and New Year's atmosphere along with a festive mood! (the streets of many cities are decorated with garlands, carnivals, festivities and fireworks start)

Really the New Year in Vietnam does not promise any minuses? Unfortunately, there are drawbacks here. In the south of the country, where most resorts are located, from mid-October to the end of December typhoons fall on the coast. And in the central regions, where there are also many popular resorts, the rainy season lasts from August to January.

Which resort to choose: Phan Thiet, Mui Ne, Fukuok - in Nha Trang off-season.

• Prices for New Year Vietnam start at 95,000 rubles for two for 10 nights.

Goa

Where to go for the New Year 2020 cheap? Goa is the most budgetary and warmest thing that can happen on holidays.

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

• For 7 or 10 nights, a tour to Goa costs from 90,000 rubles for two (depending on the date of departure).

Turkey

True. Also in 5 star hotels, all inclusive and with animation. Only not all complexes are open in winter, the choice is decently limited. Nevertheless, in that article we tried to select the best options.

Another scenario for 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 the resort of Turkey is the temperature in the street at + 10 ° С ... + 15 ° С. This has something to oppose - a heated pool! The list of good hotels opened in the winter, we have given in this article.

Which resort to choose: Istanbul, either Belek or Antalya.

• Turkey on New Year's tour will be a minimum of 50,000 rubles per week for 2 people. A hotel with good reviews - from 80 000 rubles.

Israel

We were in Israel in October and December - on the Dead Sea or in Eilat you can swim even on New Year's

Our traditional New Year in Israel is celebrated by numerous emigrants from the USSR and Russia. And, of course, tourists who decided to meet on January 1 at the resorts of the Mediterranean Sea or go on winter vacations to the Dead Sea - to improve their health and gain strength before the long Russian winter.

Both the cost of a trip to Israel and the weather will depend on what place the tourist chooses for the New Year's holiday. There are 3 seas in the country: the Mediterranean was cold at this time, the warm Red and the very salty Dead.

For children, performances are organized with Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden, 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 came to Israel to celebrate the New Year will find something to their liking:

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

Which resort to choose: Tel Aviv is for fun, Eilat is for the sea.

Those who do not want to participate in the general festivity and vice versa flee from it from Russia can rent a room in a small secluded hotel on the coast.

Where to go to Europe for the New Year?

Where it’s warm for the New Year is, in general, understandable. And if you have read to the end and still not inspired, then something is wrong 🙂 Maybe “yours” is not the sea, but walking in a down jacket at Christmas markets and ice rinks? Or a hot punch in a boot mug?

Tallinn, Estonia

Holidays in Tallinn - this is a real European New Year's fairy tale at a reasonable price. Yes, the city is not as brightly decorated as Paris or London, but its architecture itself creates a magical mood. The houses of the old city are wrapped up in the cozy light of lanterns, on the tiled roofs covered with snow, pipes black out from which silver smoke flows, and the streets are saturated with the smell of needles, cinnamon and marzipan. Tallinn is hosting one of the largest Christmas markets in Europe, and a huge shining Christmas tree is being set in the center of the town hall square.

Flight + hotel for a week for 1 person:

Tirana, Albania

The country at the junction of the Adriatic and Ionian seas is surrounded by many speculations and myths. Yes, it is not the most modern, but its inhabitants are kind and hospitable, and the nature is as in the picture. Tirana, the capital of Albania, is surrounded by picturesque mountains, and the sea is only 40 kilometers away, which ensures a mild climate in the city. In January it is quite warm here, about + 10 ° C, and sunny twice as often as overcast. By New Year's Eve, a large Christmas tree is being set up in the central square, which amusingly contrasts with the greenery of the parks. In general, the sights of Tirana are not so diverse, but the nightlife is very boring, and those who love outdoor recreation can enjoy the special atmosphere on the shores of the winter sea.

Flight + hotel for a week for 1 person:

Samarkand, Uzbekistan

One of the oldest cities in Central Asia, the pearl of the Silk Road, the city with the beautiful name Samarkand, is not the most popular tourist destination: few people decide to go to celebrate the New Year in Uzbekistan. The air temperature here is not even high, about + 5 ° C, but there are many sunny days that are pleasant to spend walking in the city: go around the perimeter of one of the most beautiful squares in the world - Registan and look at the unique patterns of colored glazes that cover the arches, palaces and madrassas. And the New Year itself can be celebrated comfortably and at home at a generous table with traditional, very tasty Uzbek manti.

Czechs know how and love to have fun, so they start celebrating already from the beginning of December! Traditional Christmas holidays include St. Nicholas Day on December 6, then a week later St. Lucia's Day, and then Christmas and the New Year itself. The city is brightly decorated with garlands, a fair is opening on Old Town Square, but the main magic is that it always snows in Prague on New Year's Eve! In the main square, to the chiming clock, fireworks are launched and champagne is drunk, and then they rush to Charles Bridge to make a wish.

Flight + hotel for a week for 1 person:

Zagreb, Croatia

The capital of Croatia, located in southern Europe, cannot boast of heavy snow, but it adorns the streets for the holiday wholeheartedly. Both Christmas and New Year are celebrated here on a grand scale, so the city shines with lights from mid-December to almost mid-January. In the morning, on the eve of the holiday, local residents go to church, and in the late afternoon they go out for street festivities with firecrackers and fireworks. Midnight is the most fun to meet on the main streets or on Josip Jelacic Square. The remaining days of vacation can be devoted to walks in the old town and in the beautiful parks of Zagreb, usually in January afternoon comfortable + 5 ° С.

Amman, Jordan

If on New Year's holidays you want to bask in the sun, but so as not to fly too far, Jordan is a great option. On the Dead Sea, the season lasts all year round, because it is located in the lowlands, which in combination with salt fumes creates a greenhouse effect. The temperature of the Red Sea also does not fall below + 21 ° C. Although Jordan is a Muslim country, a celebration is being held on January 1 in the capital city of Amman: large hotels and restaurants set tables, make music louder, and start fireworks. The lull after the holiday can be devoted to trips to historical places and attractions.
