10 interesting options for where to go for New Year 2018 in Russia. Where to celebrate and celebrate the New Year in Russia and how to spend it New Year holidays.

Where to go for New Year in Russia?

If it is not possible to “overwinter” in hot countries, during the cold season we are warmed only by the thought of the most magical holiday - New Year. And although the New Year holidays are an ideal time for a trip to a foreign coast, most of us still prefer to celebrate at home, in snowy Russia, so that there is a Christmas tree, friendly passers-by in red hats and the toy beard of Grandfather Frost, ice slides and sleigh. My opinion is that it is possible to make New Year’s Eve special and unusual in our area. For example, it is now fashionable to live in ski resorts. I bring to your attention a selection of the most suitable places to celebrate the New Year in Russia, where to go inexpensively.

Where to celebrate and celebrate the 2018 New Year in Russia?

If you suddenly decide to go on vacation in Russia on a package tour, then look at the prices below to determine the duration of the trip.

New Year in Moscow

I decided to start from Moscow, because... Every year, tens of thousands of our compatriots flock here not to miss the lighting of the lanterns and the red star on the main Christmas tree, to attend a festive concert on the main square and to take photographs at artfully decorated store windows. Festive fireworks are already a tradition, and here they amaze with their magnificence. Moscow is one of the best places to celebrate New Year in Russia.

Another famous place where famous architectural structures and the main attractions of the city are located is the exhibition center of the Ostankino district VDNH, namely, Poklonnaya Gora. Fashionable restaurants and family cafes are concentrated here. A panoramic view of Moscow will help create a romantic, magical atmosphere on a festive night. This has a super effect on any tourist.

You can welcome 2018 in such an unusual way as riding a river boat. The Moscow River is no worse than the St. Petersburg Neva. Especially at night.

New Year's Peter

Another a nice place Where you can celebrate the New Year in Russia is St. Petersburg. You can talk endlessly about the most visited places and main attractions of St. Petersburg. Capital of Culture Russia in winter is reminiscent of pictures from films and TV series about Russian emperors and palace coups. It’s not for nothing that travel agencies offer a great variety of tours to the city on the Neva for the New Year.

The luxurious squares of St. Petersburg with majestic palaces are probably still the most affordable option to celebrate the main holiday of the year. As in Moscow, on Palace Square Every year a tall Christmas tree is installed, garlands are lit and a magnificent concert is organized.

St. Petersburg opens the doors of the most worthy establishments for guests to celebrate a holiday on the main square or Nevsky Prospekt. Here are my 3 favorite restaurants: “Terrassa”, “Nebar”, “Che-Dor”.

New Year's Eve in the resort city of Sochi

I think Russian people will like Sochi at any time of the year. During the New Year holidays, the city becomes a kind of “piece of summer” in winter. Krasnaya Polyana, for example, attracts tourists with its “cool” skiing. The New Year is celebrated here on a grand scale, and therefore Sochi is another option where to go for the New Year holidays in Russia.

Sochi residents also hold festive concerts and celebrate January 1st with the chimes on the city square - the Southern Pier. By the way, not far from the Southern Pier there are a large number of cafes/bars, where all year round There is a vacation atmosphere.

Must visit Olympic Park, which not so long ago became the most attractive place for Sochi guests. Here is “Fisht”, Winter Palace sports "Iceberg", curling center.

Baikal for New Year

Where you should go in Russia for the New Year holidays is Baikal. I remember this place very fondly. I remember how my heart sank when I first saw the beauty of Baikal - the “pearl of Siberia.” In winter it is no less picturesque here.

On New Year's Eve, you can arrange real winter adventures here: ice sled racing, fishing, creating ice figures and much more. I assure you that here you will meet many compatriots from different regions - from Moscow to Vladivostok. Local residents have long been accustomed to such a “party”, so the conditions here are the most suitable for active and unforgettable holiday. There are many hotels in the vicinity of Lake Baikal, ski resorts, where you can stay by pre-booking a room.

If you get bored of admiring icy Baikal, go to the Small Sea (one of the most tourist-visited parts of Lake Baikal). The Small Sea is separated by the mysterious island of Olkhon. There are generally many small rocky islands on Baikal, but Olkhon is the largest. The island has its own legend about shamanic gods and evil spirits.

For example, it was interesting for me to look at the monument to Admiral Kolchak in Irkutsk, because... this is my favorite historical character. And the most fun and large-scale New Year's programs are organized on the territory of the Taltsy Museum - a complex of architectural exhibition structures.

You need to know that if you want to get to Baikal, you will need to get to Irkutsk. It is from here that the most convenient routes to any point of Lake Baikal are available.

New Year in Crimea

In 2018, no one in our country can be surprised by a sudden trip to Crimea. Even in winter, even on New Year's. Here you feel at home, but there is an atmosphere of relaxation all around, hotels, hostels, cafes/restaurants and night parties are filled with hundreds of vacationers.

On the coast of Yalta, real fun unfolds on New Year's Eve: mass celebrations, fairs, dancing, fireworks and fireworks.

If you stay in Crimea longer, you can see a bunch of amazing places, as part of an excursion, for example. Have you ever been to the Crimean caves? Or maybe we had lunch in the mountains? Have you dived into the Black Sea with a bottle of good wine? In general, here they will tell you how to spend New Year's Eve in an unusual way. Well, where else can you go for the New Year holidays in Russia?

New Year's Vladivostok

Far away, you say? In fact, the region, which is now actively under construction and developing, has begun to attract more and more foreign tourists, including. Asians come here and stay in the Primorsky capital not only as a “transit”. Just imagine how beautiful it is around - the sea, modern high-rise buildings and 19th century architecture. In winter it is even warmer here than in many Russian cities where you can relax on New Year's Eve.

On the night of December 31st. as of 1 Jan. on the main city square - pl. There are no crowds of fighters for the power of the Soviets, where the White House is located. Loud music, fireworks, Santa Clauses with Snow Maidens, performances of city talent, etc.

In Vladivostok and its environs there are many comfortable and inexpensive camp sites with views of sea bay. Especially extreme Primorye residents like to organize trips to the taiga during the New Year holidays (some for hunting, some for fishing, and some just to take a good breath of the forest air and warm up by the fire while playing a guitar).

Friendly Karelia

Frost-resistant travelers will enjoy spending New Year and Christmas in the Republic of Karelia. The best place to stay is in Petrozavodsk - here are the most fun places and the best vacation rentals at very affordable prices.

If you brought your small children to Karelia, then at some children's party you will meet Pakkaine - Father Frost (Karelian). By the way, Pakkaine has his own house and you can visit it with your child. The main city event on New Year's Eve takes place in the central square of the capital of Karelia.

To get to know Karelia better, I advise you to take a tour of historical places and look into the marble quarry in Ruskeala Park (a cultural heritage site).

Travel to Altai for the New Year

Another snowy option for where to go for New Year's Eve in Russia, which will certainly interest fans winter species sports Altai region– edge majestic mountains. Here are the most elite ski resorts and sanatoriums. You can kill two birds with one stone - break in ski slopes and improve your health. In addition, sanatorium establishments also host excellent matinees.

For example, the resort town of Belokurikha is in demand among tourists, who leave only positive reviews. Take a swim in the hot springs of nitrogen-radon waters (this is the resort’s calling card). Belokurikha itself cannot boast of numerous attractions, so you need to go here specifically for a “mountain skiing”. Fans of trekking (hiking in the mountains) will appreciate the mountainous terrain of Tserkovka.

For the New Year, you can stay somewhere in the Katun sanatorium (you can think of the entertainment yourself). Take your children to the Belovodye water park - you can spend the whole day here!

Sheregesh, Kemerovo region

Ski resort Sheregesh, located in the small town of the same name in Siberia - perfect place, where you can spend the New Year holidays in Russia. It is called the “native Courchevel”. It is here that over a million active and more or less wealthy tourists come. Weather? This is where there will always be snow on New Year's Eve!

If you only dream of becoming a professional skier, here you will have a great opportunity to learn for yourself and your children. There are advanced and training trails. In our country, these are almost the highest ski hills - the total height is more than 35 thousand meters. There are a lot of hotels and cottages on the territory of the resort to accommodate guests. Colorful festivals are held here throughout the year. I think New Year's Eve will be no less fun.

New Year in European style in Kaliningrad

When you get to Kaliningrad, you find yourself in Europe. In Russia... It seems to me that this is the most unusual city in our country. Kaliningrad still harbors an atmosphere of something “foreign”: buildings, clean streets, signs and inscriptions in German.

By the way, it is unlikely that you will be able to celebrate the New Year with the chimes on the main city square. Well, they even came up with their own traditions here! Townspeople usually celebrate the Old New Year and spend New Year's Eve in a narrow family circle - at home. But on January 1, music and fireworks can be heard all day on Victory Square, and festive concerts and fairs are held.

During this period, it is not too frosty in Kaliningrad (compared to 5+ here in late March-April). It's not snowfall here, but rather torrential rain with strong winds.

I would like to summarize. Wherever you go to celebrate the New Year 2018, in Russia you will feel the special Russian New Year’s atmosphere: champagne, a Christmas tree, Olivier salad, “black bread, herring” and smiling passers-by as never before. Let's go to hot countries for the New Year holidays!

How to relax for the New Year cheaper

The most important - try to buy hotels and tickets as early as possible(in September - November, or generally in summer). Wherever you go, as the New Year approaches, prices for tours and independent holiday are growing every day.
If it’s not critical for you to celebrate the New Year abroad, but you want to plunge into European Christmas culture or go to the sea and the beach, look for options with a return BEFORE or departure AFTER New Year’s Eve. Such options can cost several times less than a trip that includes New Year's Eve.
Sales in Europe begin in January - if shopping is important to you, plan your New Year's holiday so as not to return to Russia at the very beginning of January.

We hope this selection of countries for holidays for the New Year 2020 in Russia and abroad will help you decide on a holiday destination for the New Year holidays!
