A couple of hours before midnight, join the locals and tourists on Palace Square. Toss 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.

It has long been no longer relevant to celebrate the New Year at home. More and more often, Russians are looking to go somewhere abroad for the winter holidays. After all, it’s so nice to bask on a golden beach, exposing your body, which has not yet been tanned, to the sun, while winter reigns in your native land at this time.

Just imagine - getting away from the frosty city for a while and fully enjoying the sea, warmth and fun in some hotel in Egypt or Turkey. However, not everyone likes passive relaxation and mindless time on the beach. Many people choose snow-covered cities and countries as their winter holiday destination.

Visiting another state, immersing yourself in the culture and customs of a foreign country is, of course, great, but do not forget that in our Motherland there are many unforgettable places,where you can go inexpensively for New Year 2017 and have a great time New Year holidays.

Inexpensive vacation to save your family budget

If you want to go on vacation to Europe, then you need to take into account the fact that the peak of price increases occurs at Christmas (December 25 according to Catholic canons). Winter holidays there they begin on December 24-25, and on January 3, as a rule, they already end. Therefore, if, for example, you go to a ski resort, the beginning of January will be the cheapest period.

If you want to travel to hot countries, then the first days of January are also considered the most inexpensive. Basically, it is not hotels that do the “cheating”, but airlines and travel agencies. It’s definitely not worth booking a trip or air ticket at the last minute, otherwise you risk throwing the lion’s share of your income down the drain.

Holidays in warm countries

If your soul requires warmth on the best winter holiday, you can go south. Basically, Russians go on New Year holidays to Turkey. Why exactly there? Firstly, this is not a very expensive pleasure, and secondly, in Turkey good weather for the New Year. Not hot, but warm. Also, Turkey is incredibly beautiful. Main cities for tourism – Istanbul And Antalya.

A relatively cheap warm holiday is a holiday in Egypt. In the pre-New Year period, many hot packages appear and, if you make a fuss, you can take New Year's tour for ridiculous money.

Budget Türkiye and Egypt have now attracted those segments of the population who previously vacationed in Europe. Unfortunately, due to the devaluation of the ruble, visiting European countries is now unaffordable for many. In addition, unlike resorts in Europe, visiting Turkey and Egypt does not require a visa.

Fascinating Europe

If you don’t really like beach holidays, you can always go to one of the European countries. This option will especially appeal to fans winter species sports, because you can combine sightseeing in European cities with an exciting time on the ski slopes.

However, Europe can also be different: instead of the already traditional Germany, France, Austria, you can pay attention to its closest neighbors, for example, Poland. Of course, we are talking about the most beautiful and majestic city - Krakow. You can go there for fresh impressions, visit museums, castles, historical places, try real mulled wine and, of course, go skiing on the ski slopes.

You can also visit the Latvian capital - Riga, which has been famous for its powerful New Year’s programs for many years in a row, along with Prague and Berlin. In addition to entertainment, you can fully enjoy the beauty of this amazing city.

Also, every person can find relatively inexpensive sightseeing tours V Czech Republic And Italy. Typically, the price of the tour includes accommodation in double rooms, as well as breakfast. So you don’t have to worry about spending the night while admiring the splendor of foreign beauties.

Also, you can visit all these countries on your own, without resorting to the help of travel agencies. In this case, you will only need to pay for air travel, and upon arrival, pay for a hostel or inexpensive hotel (the room can also be booked in advance on the Internet).

Winter holidays in Russia

For unforgettable impressions, sometimes, you don’t need to go far abroad. You can have a good time in the vastness of our country. For example, you can go to visit Grandfather Frost, whose residence is located in Veliky Ustyug.

You can have fun celebrating the New Year in Russian in one of the most beautiful cities Golden ring - Suzdal. Or is it better to visit the Snow Maiden, who lives on Volga coast. This is very close to the Veliky Ustyug residence of Father Frost. And in Karelia I have my own Santa Claus, whose name is Pakkaine. You can go visit him and, at the same time, experience a real Karelian bathhouse.

Where to go for the New Year, everyone decides for themselves. To make this a fun and not too expensive adventure, you should weigh everything in advance and think it through carefully.
