The long New Year's holidays are the perfect time to travel abroad. In the pre-holiday time, prices for air tickets and hotel services rise, popular places are overflowing with tourists, but this does not stop fans of new experiences. Celebrating the New Year abroad - what could be more interesting!
Instructions
Step 1
An excellent option for a New Year's trip is Scandinavia. You can celebrate the New Year on a ferry from Helsinki to Stockholm. Surely there will be many compatriots on board, so you will feel quite comfortable. The ferry usually celebrates the holiday three times - in Swedish, in Finnish and in Russian. For a fee, you will receive a very decent gala dinner, followed by dancing and other entertainment.
Step 2
If you want some privacy, rent a small cottage in Finland. This is a very budget option - a weekly rent of a house for four costs about 150 euros. Among the entertainment guaranteed are hiking, sledding and cross-country skiing, dog sledding and other outdoor activities. And, of course, there is a sauna, in which, by the way, you can also celebrate the New Year.
Step 3
For those planning to visit one of the European capitals, it makes sense to leave for Prague. Here you will find luxurious festive illumination, hot mulled wine is poured right on the streets, and wonderful New Year's souvenirs can be bought at fairs. Prague seems to be created for leisurely walking tours - it is impossible to get lost here, and if you get hungry, you can have a hearty and inexpensive snack in any of the many restaurants and cafes. Check into one of the guesthouses or small hotels in the city center, or order a festive dinner at a nearby restaurant. Or you can celebrate the holiday right on the street, together with Prague residents and guests of the city, for example, on Wenceslas Square or Charles Bridge.
Step 4
A good option for celebrating the New Year is a trip to the Baltics. Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius have very comfortable and quite inexpensive hotels, besides, during the holidays you can go around all three capitals, and even look into one of the neighboring countries, for example, Poland. Once in Riga, you can celebrate the New Year in the Old Town - this is where the locals love to celebrate. Be sure to buy souvenirs at one of the many New Year's markets. They sell very beautiful toys and all kinds of marzipans - from tiny figurines to huge sets. A big plus of the Baltic capitals is the availability of Russian-speaking guides and holiday programs aimed at tourists from Russia.
Step 5
Those who want to definitely celebrate a holiday on the beach or at least in a warm country should go to Thailand or Egypt. However, in these countries you will not have to rely on budget vacations. In Egypt, book only five-star hotels, and in advance - as early as early December, there may be no vacancies in the best hotels. A good alternative to expensive Egypt is Israel. There are many places where you can celebrate the New Year on a purely Russian scale and in a purely Russian company. There will be no problems with the sun and sea in January either.
