A walk through the charming town of Borovichi.
This is a real open-air Museum of Russian merchants!
The charm of Borovichi is amazing atmosphere of the 18th-19th centuries, which has been preserved literally in the entire appearance of the city. In ancient merchant mansions, decorated with multi-colored ceramics, in the rich wooden carvings of townspeople's houses, and even in the pavement, like many years ago, colorfully paved with cobblestones. True, now the cobblestones are covered with caps of the whitest snow, but this only adds soft comfort and quiet winter charm to Borovichi...
The wonderful town is picturesquely spread out on the banks of the rapid, rapids river Msta. Since ancient times, it was along Msta that the main trade waterway to the Volga, to the Caspian Sea, to the distant Central Asia. Rich caravan owners had to hire local residents as guides along the rapids of the restive Msta. Borovichi is the birthplace of numerous dynasties of skilled pilots.
The patron saint of the city was, and still is, Saint Jacob of Borovichi- protector of all those working near the water - fishermen, pilots, shipbuilders. And today Holy Spirit Jacob Monastery- one of the outstanding attractions of Borovichi. This is one of the oldest monasteries in all of Rus', because the estimated date of its foundation is 1327!
We will be greeted cordially and like a merchant at "House of merchant Shulgin».
An exciting program awaits us here "Merchant's Christmas"".
As soon as you cross the threshold of the museum, you will forget that this is the 21st century. A wonderful Christmas tree, and it reflects the entire history of our Russian state. You will find merchants' gatherings with Christmas fortune-telling, Christmas games, a Christmas excursion program, tea drinking at a Russian samovar, during the tea ceremony, you will be introduced to the traditions of merchant tea drinking, and treated to three types of pies and baked goods.
We have prepared the most interesting and reliable Christmas fortune telling for you, which will help you reveal the secrets of the future. You will learn how to appease a brownie and protect your home from fevers. You will play the traditional 19th century manor game “Fanta”.
To the sound of a real gramophone, we will plunge into the atmosphere of the ancient city. Unique and authentic household items of different classes, picturesque portraits, various charters and documents, antique furniture from noble estates tell about the life and everyday life of the townspeople.
The greatest native of Borovichi - the world famous Russian commander, Generalissimo Alexander Vasilievich Suvorov.
We're leaving to the Suvorov Museum-Reserve in the village of Konchanskoye-Suvorovskoye. The Suvorov patrimony is a grandiose monument dedicated to the life of this ascetic in everyday life, modest, but great Russian. Extensive museum exhibitions located in Suvorov’s summer and winter houses, household items, magnificent diorama “Alpine campaign of Suvorov”, outbuildings- literally everything breathes the “Suvorov” spirit. And on vast territory Even the oak trees planted by the commander himself have been preserved on the estate.
This is the only museum telling about the life of A.V. Suvorov, and here everything remains as under the great owner. It seems like he went out for a minute and is about to return.
In the kitchen wing we can even enjoy Suvorov’s favorite treat. Sandwich with radish - “Suvorov style” and 50 grams of Russian vodka. It is very tasty and unusual, and most importantly - in the lifestyle of the great commander!
Dinner.
This is how wonderful, unforgettable New Year holidays turned out - an extraordinary start to a new, happy year... Happy New Year!

We have compiled a selection of 6 popular warm countries where you can go to the sea for the New Year - both inexpensive and where a vacation will cost a pretty penny.

Thailand

One of the most popular Asian destinations for New Year's Eve is Thailand. Nice place there will be both Bangkok and beach resorts Thailand - Phuket and Pattaya.

In Bangkok, the holiday is celebrated everywhere, but the coolest place is the square in front of shopping center Central World, where thousands of people gather to count down last seconds of the passing year.

Then you can go to the Mediterranean restaurant Sirocco, located on the 63rd floor of the skyscraper, or take a cruise along the Chao Phraya River - with cocktails and ten types of Thai dishes.

If you are interested in an inexpensive beach holiday for the New Year abroad, you can spend the New Year holidays in Phuket. In December and January the weather is excellent, the sea is suitable for swimming, and there are all conditions for families with children.

For lovers of noisy parties, we recommend going to Koh Phangan for New Year 2020, where a grand New Year’s party is held on a kilometer-long beach, attracting 20,000-30,000 people. It is better to book accommodation several months before the New Year. And don't forget the buckets.

The most best reviews Shangri La's Boracay Resort receives tourists, but it is also the most expensive on the entire island. Find accommodation in Boracay →

The other islands mentioned (Panglao and Bantayan) have lower accommodation prices. Bantayan at all is a place where you can celebrate the New Year inexpensively even by Philippine standards– There are few tourists there, so prices are low.

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 is not critical for you to celebrate the New Year abroad, but want to plunge into European Christmas culture or go to the sea and the beach - look for options with 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!
