- The most important - try to buy hotels and tickets as early as possible(in September - November, or even in the summer). Wherever you go, with the approach of the New Year, prices for tours and independent rest are growing every day.
- If it’s not critical for you to meet the New Year directly abroad, but you want to plunge into the 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 cheaper than a trip that includes New Year's Eve.
- Sales in Europe start in January - if shopping is important to you, plan your holiday for the New Year 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 vacation spot for the New Year holidays!

Fresh ideas where to go for the new year 2020 at sea, to Europe abroad. Tours inexpensive and interesting
There is a good Russian proverb that says: "prepare the sleigh in summer and the cart in winter." The meaning of the proverb is that in order to be in time for everything, not to lose time and be in profit, you need to prepare for everything in advance. And when traveling and traveling abroad, this rule works even more so. If you are going to go somewhere, especially to a country far from Russia, you need to think everything over in advance. For example, read about the climate of the place, find out about the local weather, clarify prices, ask for feedback from those who have already been there, and so on. And it’s right that 99% of tourists prefer to search and book tours for the new year 2020 in advance. Where to go inexpensively for this new year, our information article will tell you, where prices are not indicated, but there are interesting information about countries where it is warm and sunny in winter, and also where you can go for New Year's fairy tale. Ready? Let's start watching a small TOP.
It's no secret that most tourists prefer to celebrate the New Year in warm countries, where you can sunbathe, swim in the sea and get real pleasure. And rightly so, what's the point in flying from cold and snowy Russia to the same cold and snowy country? Although someone likes it and we'll talk about it below. For now…
Where to go cheap to the sea for the new year 2020: tours, countries and resorts
Resorts of Thailand - without changing traditions.
For a long time in winter, the resorts of Thailand are leading in terms of preferences among Russians. And there are explanations for this. Firstly, it’s beautiful there, and after a holiday in the country, many tourists begin to wonder how to buy a house there and how to stay for at least six months, while it’s frosty in Russia.
Indeed, Thailand beautiful country with your own color. local beaches beautiful and unique. The sunset on them is just as good as on the beaches of Cuba. The fine sand is so soft that you don't even need shoes. Walking barefoot on the sand is a pleasure that can't be compared to anything else. Palm trees grow on the beaches, in the shade of which you can wait out the heat and take a nap right on the shore of the endless sea.
The second reason for the popularity of Thailand is the price. If you are flying here from Moscow or from the European part of our country, you will be surprised, because the price of the flight will be higher than the price of the vacation itself. But the inhabitants of the east of Russia generally fly and rest in Thailand almost for nothing. Fortunately, they do not fly for a long time, and rest is already cheap. In fact, 12-14 days of rest in Thailand will cost you 40,000 thousand rubles. But it can be even cheaper if you choose a hotel not on the seashore, and not with all the entertainment.
The most famous and popular resorts of the country: Phuket and Pattaya. It is they who receive up to 80% of all tourists in the country.
Vietnam is a new trend.
Another country South-East Asia, which is loved by tourists from Russia.
Vietnam is a new fashionable destination where it's great to spend time in the winter. After all, when in Russia it is frost and snow, then in Vietnam it is up to forty heat and a gorgeous warm sea.
The advantage of Vietnamese resorts over the rest is that they are young. Many of them are only a few years old, and some hotels and resorts are still under construction. After all, a few years ago there was a war in the country, and now the construction of resort areas is in full swing there.
And I must say that they make hotels and places to stay are fantastic! But the local nature also helps. The scenery is so beautiful that you won't want to leave. White sand beaches, they stretch so far along the sea that it seems as if they are endless.
There are also many entertainments in the country. There is a whole island with one huge amusement park. And you can get to the island only by cable car and it is the only one in the world cable car that passes over the sea!
We think it would not be superfluous to recall the sights of the country, since there are thousands of them here. The local culture is very ancient and there are still temples in the country where they keep the traditions instilled in the people thousands of years ago. Vietnamese houses with incredible roofs are especially popular with tourists - this is what distinguishes the country from others.
Goa is another India.
We are all used to the fact that India has a lot of dances, songs and love. But Goa is a completely different India, which is not like anything else.
The beaches of Goa are spacious and everyone can easily accommodate them. The coast is completely sandy. Meets White sand, dark and yellow. There are many activities on the beaches, but the main thing is elephant riding. Tourists line up to climb the giant and ride it.
But even in such tourist center You still feel like you are in India. Museums, exhibitions, locals, culture and more all remind you of this. And that's not bad. After all, India is a country with a rich history and its long traditions. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to learn something new about her.
Goa is divided into two parts: south and north. The southern part is richer and more beautiful, while the northern part is still being built and local tourists are mostly resting there.
Where to go for the new year 2020 abroad to Europe.
In winter in Europe, beach resorts have a rest. Even in Spain and Portugal it is cold to swim, and it is not always possible to sunbathe. But still, the flow of tourists to European countries in winter does not decrease. Where is everyone going?
Prague - the best place to welcome the new year.
They flew to Prague to celebrate the New Year back in Soviet times. And after the collapse of the union, they began to fly here with even more. The peak of popularity of the capital of the Czech Republic came in 2000, when half a million Russians flew here for Christmas and New Year. Now the demand has dropped a little. But still, one hundred thousand Russian tourists are happy to celebrate two Christmases and one New Year in Prague.
Especially for these holidays, a tall Christmas tree is set up in the capital, decorated with lights and toys. Shops offer to buy goods and souvenirs with discounts, and cafes and restaurants offer a huge selection of varied food.
All the streets on Christmas eve are lit up with lights. A simple walk in the evening in Prague will allow you to plunge into a fairy tale and understand that this is really a magical time.
Finland is close to home.
It so happened that many Russians prefer to celebrate the New Year in neighboring Finland. It would seem - why, because it is very close to us. But in the country of a thousand lakes, everything is completely different.
As already mentioned, Finland is a country of a thousand lakes. Perhaps not on earth more space so many lakes. And the local forests are truly beautiful and magical. Tourists prefer to rent a house on the lake in the forest, where there is peace and quiet.
In winter, in Suomi you can walk through the forest, ski, go fishing or attend public events, of which there are thousands.
Milan is a fashionable new year.
Young people who consider themselves fashionable prefer to come to Milan for the new year. Around Christmas there are a lot of tourists, so the hotel needs to be booked in advance. And since there are sales in the city in winter, you can both relax and buy a lot of beautiful and fashionable clothes. Although what a rest, when price tags with discounts of up to 80 percent hang on each window!
There are many places in the world where the meetings of the New Year will be held in a special way. Some we have already listed, but there are hundreds of other equally beautiful places.
For example, Japan - there you will meet the new year among the first. And if you want real adventures, then fly to Australia. Every year, the country takes first place in the beauty and duration of the New Year's fireworks. And this year they will certainly break their record.
Another place is Cuba. New Year on the island of freedom you will never forget. And you will dream of sunrises and sunsets on the ocean coast all your life.
Do not give up on tours to Africa. For example, Egypt is hot and sunny, while Tunisia and Morocco have many palaces and historical monuments. So there is a choice of where to go, and it is great.

Where to relax with a child?
For holidays with children, pay attention to the following areas.
Let's meet Santa Claus!
This is a little trip to Magic world. The city of Rovaniemi is the center of attraction for tourists in winter. In its vicinity is Santa Park and its village.
Children are waiting for:
- Meeting with Santa.
- Games and master classes with elves.
- Ride on the magical train.
- Gingerbread factory and other magical entertainment.
In Lapland, you should definitely visit a traditional reindeer farm. Ride on a reindeer or dog sled. When I go for a walk I need to dress warmly. In January, the thermometer can drop to -27˚С.
Important! Don't forget to apply for a Schengen visa.

On the sea
Phan Thiet, Goa, Phuket or Samui? What to choose?
Winter holidays at the sea promises a lot of pleasant entertainment and swimming in warm waves. The beaches at the resorts for families with children are clean and sandy. The entrance to the sea on most of them is gentle. The infrastructure is well developed.
