Fresh ideas of where to go for the New Year 2020 at sea, in Europe abroad. Tours are inexpensive and interesting

There is a good Russian proverb that says: “Prepare a sleigh in summer and a cart in winter.” The meaning of the proverb is that in order to manage everything, not waste time and be profitable, you need to prepare for everything in advance. And when traveling and traveling abroad, this rule works even more so. When planning to travel somewhere, especially to a country far from Russia, you need to think about everything in advance. For example, read about the climate of a place, find out about local weather, check prices, ask for reviews from those who have already been there, and so on. And it’s right that 99% of tourists prefer to search and book tours for the New Year 2020 in advance. Our information article will tell you where to go inexpensively for this New Year, where prices are not indicated, but there are interesting information about countries where it’s warm and sunny in winter, and also where you can go for a New Year’s fairy tale. Are you ready? Let's start looking at a small TOP.

It's no secret that most tourists prefer to celebrate the New Year in warm countries, where you can sunbathe, swim in the sea and get real pleasure. And that’s right, what’s the point in flying from cold and snowy Russia to an equally cold and snowy country? Although some people like it and we’ll talk about it below. In the meantime...

Where to go inexpensively at sea for the New Year 2020: tours, countries and resorts

Resorts in Thailand – without changing traditions.

For a long time now, resorts in Thailand have been leading the preferences of Russians in winter. And there are explanations for this. Firstly, it’s beautiful there, and many tourists, after a holiday in the country, begin to wonder how to buy a house there and how to stay for at least six months while it’s freezing in Russia.

Indeed - Thailand beautiful country with its own flavor. Local beaches beautiful and unique. The sunset on them is no worse than on the beaches of Cuba. The fine sand is so soft that you don't need shoes. Walking barefoot on the sand is a pleasure that can’t be compared to anything else. Palm trees grow on the beaches, in the shade of which you can wait out the heat and take a short nap right on the shore of the endless sea.

The second reason for Thailand's popularity is prices. If you fly here from Moscow or from the European part of our country, you will be surprised, because the price of the flight will be higher than the price of the vacation itself. But residents of eastern Russia generally fly and vacation in Thailand for almost nothing. Fortunately, their flight does not take long, and the vacation is already cheap. In fact, a 12-14 day holiday in Thailand will cost you 40,000 thousand rubles. But it can be even cheaper if you choose a hotel not on the seashore, and not with all the entertainment.

The most famous and popular resorts countries: Phuket and Pattaya. They receive up to 80% of all tourists in the country.

Vietnam is a new trend.

Another country southeast asia, which is loved by tourists from Russia.
Vietnam is a new fashionable destination where it's great to spend time in the winter. After all, when there is frost and snow in Russia, then in Vietnam the heat is up to forty and there is a gorgeous warm sea.

The advantage of Vietnamese resorts over others is that they are young. Many of them are only a few years old, and some hotels and resorts are still under construction. After all, several years ago there was a war in the country, and now the construction of resort areas is in full swing.
And I must say that they make hotels and places to stay that are simply fantastic! But the local nature also helps. The scenery is so beautiful that you won't want to go back. Beaches with white sand, they stretch so far along the sea that they seem endless.

There is also a lot of entertainment in the country. There is a whole island with one huge amusement park. And you can only get to the island by cable car and it is the only one in the world cable car which passes over the sea!
We think it wouldn’t hurt to remind you about the country’s attractions, since there are thousands of them here. The local culture is very ancient and there are still temples in the country where they keep traditions instilled in the people thousands of years ago. Vietnamese houses with incredible roofs are especially popular among tourists - this is what distinguishes the country from others.

Goa is another India.
We are all accustomed to the fact that in India there is a lot of dancing, singing and love. But Goa is a completely different India, which is not like anything else.
The beaches of Goa are spacious and can comfortably accommodate everyone. The coast is completely sandy. Occurs white sand, dark and yellow. There is a lot of entertainment on the beaches, but the main thing is elephant riding. Tourists line up to climb and ride on the giant.

But even in this tourist center you still feel like you are in India. Museums, exhibitions, local residents, culture and much more - all this reminds you of this. And that's not a bad thing. After all, India is a country with rich history and its long traditions. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to learn something new about her.
Goa is divided into two parts: southern and northern. Southern part is richer and more beautiful, but the northern one is still under construction and local tourists mostly relax there.

Where to go abroad for the New Year 2020 in Europe.

Winter in Europe beach resorts resting. Even in Spain and Portugal it is cold to swim, and sunbathing is not always possible. But still, the flow of tourists to European countries in winter does not decrease. Where is everyone going?

Prague – best place to celebrate the new year.

We flew to Prague to celebrate the New Year back in Soviet era. And after the collapse of the union, even more people began to fly here. The peak of popularity of the capital of the Czech Republic came in 2000, when half a million Russians flew here for Christmas and New Year. Now the demand has dropped a little. But still, one hundred thousand Russian tourists happily celebrate two Christmases and one New Year in Prague.

Especially for these holidays, a tall Christmas tree is erected in the capital and decorated with lights and toys. Shops offer discounted goods and souvenirs, and cafes and restaurants have a huge selection of varied food.
All the streets light up with lights for Christmas. A simple walk in the evening around Prague will allow you to plunge into a fairy tale and understand that this is truly a magical time.

Finland is close to our homeland.

It so happens that many Russians prefer to celebrate the New Year in neighboring Finland. It would seem - why, because it is very close to us. But in the country of a thousand lakes, everything is completely different.

As already said, Finland is a country of a thousand lakes. Probably not on earth more space, so many lakes. And the local forests are truly beautiful and magical. Tourists prefer to rent a house on the shore of a lake in the forest, where there is peace and quiet.
In winter in Suomi you can walk through the forest, ski, go fishing or attend mass events, of which there are thousands.

Milan – fashionable new year.

Young people who consider themselves fashionable prefer to come to Milan for the New Year. There are a lot of tourists here around Christmas, so you need to book your hotel in advance. And since there are sales in the city in winter, you can relax and buy a lot of beautiful and fashionable clothes. But what a vacation when price tags with discounts of up to 80 percent hang on every shop window!

There are many places in the world where the New Year will be celebrated in a special way. We have already listed some, but there are hundreds of other, no less beautiful places.
For example, Japan - there you will be one of the first to celebrate the New Year. And if you want real adventure, then fly to Australia. Every year the country takes first place in the beauty and duration of the New Year's fireworks. And this year they will probably break their record.
Another place is Cuba. New Year on the island of freedom you will never forget. And you will dream about sunrises and sunsets on the ocean all your life.
You should not refuse tours to Africa. For example, in Egypt it is hot and sunny, and in Tunisia and Morocco there are many palaces and historical monuments. So there is a choice of where to go, and it is great.

We advise where to spend the New Year holidays! We list the destinations where you can go on an inexpensive holiday during the holidays in 2020. We are considering flights abroad (European cities and holidays by the sea) and domestic flights.

In 2020, the New Year holidays will last from January 1 to 8 - you can arrange a full-fledged trip! In this selection, we look at destinations where you can relax relatively inexpensively during the holidays (after New Year's Eve, from January 1).

We are considering tours departing from Moscow. All prices for hotels and tours are current at the time of publication of the material.
