As a rule, in January, many people have several free, non-working days - this is due to the New Year holidays. And I want to spend such a short, but very desirable New Year's holidays as interesting and fun as possible.
Unfortunately, in our country in winter, the weather is not conducive to a beach or sightseeing vacation. Therefore, in most cases, our compatriots prefer to vacation in January abroad. Winter holidays in Europe are incredibly popular, and for good reason. If you have such an opportunity, do not hesitate to visit the countries of Scandinavia. Despite the fact that the winter there is no less snowy and cold than ours, acquaintance with the unique local flavor will give you the warmest and most unforgettable sensations. Moreover, in the Scandinavian countries, the service is maintained at the highest level, and you will not have to worry once again about where to eat or spend the night. If you are tired of snow and ice, head to one of the countries of Southern Europe. While the January frosts crackle in Russia, the average air temperature in Portugal, Spain or Greece is about +20 C. If you are a fan of outdoor activities, you can spend New Year's holidays at one of the ski resorts in Europe. In January, thousands of tourists flock to Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Slovakia - each of these countries has its own incredibly colorful and comfortable ski resorts that are extremely popular among fans of active pastime. Fans of a relaxing holiday in the mountains often choose the ski resorts of Andorra - the cost of services here is traditionally low, and the level of service is very good. If you are planning to ski with children, go to Slovenia, Montenegro or Poland - low mountains, combined with safe and calm routes, create an excellent environment that is perfect for children. Moreover, these days you can relax in January at any of the ski resorts with the greatest possible comfort - here you can find SPA centers, expensive restaurants, and entertainment venues. In order to get the brightest and most unforgettable impressions from the New Year holidays, go to Spain or Italy in early January. At this time, noisy and crowded carnivals with solemn processions along the city streets take place here. And if you really want to relax and lie on the beach under the southern sun - get a tour to one of the exotic countries (the most popular are winter tours to Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia).
