When midnight comes, break a large pomegranate against a stone wall for luck, and in the morning hurry to the nearest bakery to try a lush vasilopita.

There is nothing left until 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 places to go inexpensively for the New Year holidays in 2020. Prices are based on traveling as a couple.

Where to go for New Year 2020 in Russia

1. Karelia

Price: from 30 thousand rubles.

In a snowy and frosty winter, why not go to a place where there is even more snow and frost? 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 the spruce paws, but to do something more interesting.

For example, go on snowmobiles to the museum-reserve of Russian wooden architecture, to a sled dog farm or to a winter zoo. These types of activities typically span 3-4 days, so even the busiest people can easily fit them into their busy routines. And there will be a lot of impressions - the main thing is that the weather doesn’t 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 region, which are located next to hot ones, and even mineral springs. The impressions will be unforgettable - hot, steamy water and snow-covered shores.

It is worth adding that hotels vary, from fairly budget options that the average Russian can afford, to palaces of a healthy lifestyle shining with gold and marble. It is worth adding that the swimming pool can be combined with excursions, active recreation in the form of mountaineering walks or skiing.

3. Heart of the North

Price: from 55 thousand rubles.

Are you tired of the age-old bast romance, are you fed up with hot countries, 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 celebrate the beginning of the new year in a real tent in the company of authentic reindeer herders. The cultural program is large and vibrant - 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 you will also master the complex art of lassoing reindeer and riding reindeer sleds. We don't promise that these skills will be useful to you in the future, but learning new things is always interesting, right?

New Year 2020 in Europe

If you have planned a trip to Europe as a holiday for the New Year holidays in January 2020, it is worth considering important fact. The main holiday during which all European events take place is Christmas, which is celebrated on December 25th. But on New Year's Day, there are fewer people in Europe, there is more air, but the opportunities to have fun and have a great time will be diminished.

The most convenient trip is from the beginning of the twenties of December and for about two weeks; this way we will be able to celebrate both Christmas “their way” and the New Year our way.

1. Czech Republic - cheap, but not cheerful

Price: from 30 thousand rubles.

Where to go inexpensively for the New Year in 2020? To the Czech Republic, the country of beer, bagels and low (compared to other European cities) prices. That is why it is so popular among tourists.

Prague itself is a city of magical beauty, but in combination with snow it creates a downright enchanting impression. During the holidays, various events are held in Prague - you can easily find places where you can have fun, have a tasty drink and a snack.

2. Italy

Price: from 45,000 rubles.

Are you tired of snow and frost, but at the same time don’t want sudden climate changes? An excellent option is Italy. She compares favorably with others European countries because although Christmas is a family holiday there, Italians love New Year and know how to celebrate it.

And since Italy is a country of rich culture, at the moment 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 its excellent cuisine. There you can try some of them. You just need to agree on a table now.

3. Finland

Price: from 60 thousand rubles.

Finns are generally not known for their love of mass entertainment, and Christmas and New Year are considered family holidays in the country. You shouldn't expect big mass celebrations with fireworks from reserved northerners.

Therefore, it is best to rent a separate house 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 depths of the forest, where deer wander, stumbling, to relatively (by Finnish standards) populated ski hotels or spa centers. Whichever is more to your taste.

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

Holidays during the New Year holidays 2020 at sea

We immediately warn those who are aiming for a beach holiday and warming up all parts of the body at a resort under the southern sun - “cheap” and “New Year” are hardly compatible concepts. And it’s not even about the price of the tours themselves (you can find them at quite budget prices), but about 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 hardy Russians can swim in the winter Cypriot sea (17 degrees), it is 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. Let us add that the island loves Russian-speaking tourists and knows how to communicate with them.

The entertainment is traditional - carnivals, carols, round dances, a lot of people with fireworks, songs, dances and laughter. Let us add that “their” winter is not “our” harsh and snowy winter. In December-January, their orange and tangerine trees bear fruit quietly, and the daytime temperature is about 20°.

2. Vietnam - without a visa

Price: from 100 thousand rubles.

One of the most favorite destinations during winter. In Vietnam, the beach season is in full swing, and the number of sunny days will plunge Russians into euphoria. Sun and sea come with inexpensive food and plenty of delicious fruit. It is important that short trips (up to 15 days) to Vietnam do not require bureaucratic red tape.

It is worth noting that Vietnam is inexpensive, since it has not yet developed a developed tourism infrastructure (although it is developing at an intensive pace). But weather and the terrain (long, gently sloping sandy beaches and lush, vibrant tropical greenery) make you forget about the shortcomings. By the way, you won’t be able to go diving – the sea can be rough during the winter months.

3. Caribbean

Price: from 190 thousand rubles.

But here is an option for those who prefer higher hotels, brighter sun, and sparkling clean beaches. The country will open its hospitable arms to them Caribbean, primarily the Dominican Republic.

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

Where to go during the New Year holidays 2020 with children

1. Empress Kostroma

Price: from 13,900 rubles.

Everyone knows where Father Frost lives - in Veliky Ustyug. And the habitat of his granddaughter or daughter, Snegurochka, is Kostroma. She has two houses of her own there.

First - official residence, like the governor's. There the snow maiden carefully keeps all the gifts she has received over a long period of her life. Excursions are available for those who want to admire them.

And the second is intended for the entertainment of guests - New Year's performances are held there, and other folklore elements also live (and work) there.

2. Low beam

Price: from 15 thousand rubles.

There are many places to go on New Year's Eve 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:

drive nearby (which is important if the child has not yet reached the age of responsibility);
all the benefits of civilization are at hand;
At the same time, you can finally rest and relax by entrusting your child to experienced animators for a while.
As a rule, in family holiday homes there are 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, where the events of “Braveheart” took place, and also the towering bulk of Doune Castle, where the filming of “Game of Thrones” took place. And Edinburgh is the heart of Scotland, where every square meter of surface is filled with history and romance.

If you want to travel abroad with your children so that they will remember this trip for a long time, take them to Edinburgh. True, there aren’t that many tours going there, so you’ll have to plan your trip yourself.

Traveling for New Year 2020 by car

1. From St. Petersburg to Moscow – and back

Price (gasoline only): about 2500 rubles.

We recommend that Moscow residents go to St. Petersburg, and Moscow residents go to the northern capital. Why from Moscow and by car? Because along the way you can admire the beauty of snow-covered nature, and also, depending on the route, visit other interesting places. The M10 highway passes by such Russian gems as Tver and Torzhok, not far from Valdai and Veliky Novgorod.

Beach holidays in Turkey

New Year's holidays in Turkey are somewhat different from the traditional beach holiday. Even though it's winter south coast soft, not everyone can swim in the sea. However this the best option, where you can inexpensively go on holiday for the New Year holidays.

Traditional destinations for winter are Kemer, Antalya and Side, where it is still quite warm. In December - January, the main flow of tourists dries up, so most hotels close. But those that work all year round, provide truly excellent service even out of season.

If you are looking for where to go for the New Year with children, especially small ones, then Türkiye is here too - great option. All-inclusive meals, mini clubs, animation and heated swimming pools solve the problem of keeping your child occupied. By the way, on the eve of the holiday, all hotels organize a banquet and a colorful show.

Pros of rest

Holidays in Turkey for the New Year in a 4-5 star hotel necessarily include a New Year's program. Usually this is a banquet with a show that lasts from 20:00 to 02:00. Afterwards, a disco will begin for the most persistent. Children who will be visited by Father Frost or Santa will be entertained separately.
If you go on vacation on an all-inclusive tour, then food and alcohol will be in abundance. In fact, why else do Russian people go to Turkey for a holiday? 🙂
All hotels have a heated pool, so swimming remains in the holiday program no matter what.
Tour cost. Holidays in Turkey, even on holidays, remain budget-friendly compared to other destinations.

Disadvantages of rest

Weather. Tours to Turkey for the New Year holidays are rapidly losing in price precisely because the rainy season begins here. Air and water temperatures of 18°C indicate that tanning and sea treatments are for the bravest!
Often the animation in hotels is rather weak. Those who are not used to celebrating the New Year with copious libations and gluttons are frankly bored.
Not a prestigious direction. Photos brought from the New Year in Turkey will surprise few people.

Prices for New Year's tours

Winter holidays in Turkey can be spent on a very budgetary basis if you plan ahead. You can buy inexpensive trips for the New Year as early as September - October using the early booking program. And, on the contrary, easy-going people will also be able to plan a vacation very, very inexpensively.

The price of a last minute tour to Turkey for the New Year from Moscow starts from 17,000 rubles per person. If you buy tickets a little in advance, you will have to pay more.

The rest will have to shell out a tidy sum, since the usual purchase of a tour 2-3 weeks before departure means that it will cost 2 or even 3 times more, depending on the hotel.

Weather in Turkey on New Year's Day

If we talk about where in Turkey to celebrate the New Year and swim in the sea, then we're talking about about its southernmost regions.

Resorts worth considering Fethiye, andSide, Alanya and Belek . Here The air temperature averages around 18 ° C, and the sea does not cool below 17 ° C.

If extreme swimming and sunbathing are not on your list of priorities, then you can stay at cultural capital Turkey - Istanbul. Judging by the reviews of tourists about the tour, there is a real holiday in this city on New Year’s Day, and you certainly won’t get bored here.

The weather at this time is quite acceptable for long walks. The main thing is not to forget to take an umbrella from the hotel, since December-January is still the rainy season in this area.

How to celebrate the New Year?

If you are wondering how the New Year is celebrated in Turkey, then practically nothing. There are no traditions regarding this holiday, since it is for local population fairly new and celebrated for less than 100 years. January 1 is considered a day off and this is quite enough for the indigenous people.

It's a different matter in hotels! Here a special show with the participation of artists is being prepared for guests. Be prepared to fill your glasses three times - Turkish time, 2 hours later Moscow time and Central European time (that’s when the president’s address will be shown here, because Turkey rebroadcasts Russian channels aimed at Germany). By the way, in most cases you need to book a table for a New Year's banquet immediately upon arrival. The procedure is similar to visiting an a la carte restaurant. You may have to pay extra for a banquet or alcohol, depending on the hotel's policy.

You should not explode firecrackers yourself, as this requires prior permission from local authorities.

Where can you go on an inexpensive excursion during the New Year holidays? All regular destinations are available without restrictions except January 1st.

Do you need a visa to Turkey?

Are you looking for where to go for the New Year without a visa? Then this is the place for you. As in most warm countries where tourism is on a grand scale, Russians do not need a visa here .

Those who are going to Turkey for the New Year holidays just need to remember that their passport must be valid for at least another 4 months from the date of entry into the country.

Beach holidays in Egypt

Egypt traditionally attracts our compatriots to the New Year with a beach holiday at sea. Where else can you relax abroad with a full New Year's program, 24-hour child care and inexpensive flights? Yes, in this regard, tours to Turkey and Egypt are our everything. However, if we talk about the Christmas holidays, this “everything” is not so clear :)
