There are many interesting places in Russia where you can meet New Year  and spend a week of January holiday. We offer to choose where to go for the 2017 New Year holidays at a low price, but with the opportunity to gain new impressions, have fun and usefully spend time.

We celebrate New Year in Russia and cheaply

Kaliningrad

Want to celebrate the New Year in a European way, but it does not work to go abroad. There is a good alternative - Kaliningrad, which combines both German and Russian charm. The narrow streets of the city and the buildings with red tiled roofs still store the subtle European spirit. This city has always been considered original, so why not get to know it better? Old European architecture and New Year's illumination will give new impressions.

When to book a sunny Christmas or New Year holiday: as soon as possible

The good news is that these countries still offer big deals compared to, for example, Hawaii, which leave the charts during Christmas week.

Cheap and warm places for Christmas and New Year holidays

  Prices shown include all taxes.

On the Pacific coast of Mexico, Puerto Vallarta remains one of the country's tourist attractions. This not only avoided the security problems that several other resort areas have struggled with in recent years, but is also considered the most interesting and authentic resort area of ​​Mexico.


There is a tradition in Kaliningrad: in the New Year, a spectacular theatrical action is played out on the main square, all of which have become unwitting participants of which.

There are so many sights in Kaliningrad and its surroundings that a week for their inspection is clearly not enough. The Cathedral, the Amber Castle, the Curonian Spit Natural Park with the Dancing Forest and the only Museum of Superstitions of its kind, the fortress gates and defenses with a long history will not leave anyone indifferent. Romantic evenings can be spent in a suitable restaurant. Or with a group of friends to light the night in one of the modern clubs.

The weather during Christmas is largely ideal for those who want to avoid the cold, and the large international airport also has good flights from many cities in North America. If you do not know about it, Cancun is a purpose-built resort city on the Yucatan peninsula, facing the Caribbean Sea, and the area just to the south is known as the Riviera Maya, which includes the neighboring island of Cozumel.

The package deals in Cancun are very popular, and probably the best deal for those who order earlier. As can be seen from the numbers below, there is a huge difference between 3-star and 4-star facilities in this area. A 3-star hotel can be just an ordinary hotel room in a city, and 4-star hotels are wonderful resorts with swimming pools, usually on the beach.


The weather at the end of December is quite warm, it often rains or snow. Pretty windy, and therefore better dress in no blown clothes.

What it cost.  For the winter holidays, tickets can be purchased from Moscow to Kaliningrad and back from 8.5 thousand rubles. In addition, now the low-cost airline Victory flies to the city, it is possible to fly even cheaper. Tickets to Kaliningrad:

The Dominican Republic is famous for its large, all-inclusive hotels at high prices, and the two most popular resort areas are Punta Cana and Puerto Plata. Each has about 200 hotels to choose from, including dozens of all-inclusive resorts designed to keep you there throughout your stay.

New Year in Prague

As in the aforementioned Cancun zone mentioned above, there are 3 busiest in Jamaica resort citiesthat are served by the same major airport, so they are somewhat interchangeable. Montego Bay has an airport, so it’s easiest to get to, but it’s less affordable 4-star hotels, so Ocho Rios and Negril can be better options if you are interested in this category.

Choosing an accommodation option is also not a problem.

Karelia

An unforgettable holiday can be organized in Karelia - among untouched nature and virgin snow. There are a lot of leisure options here: ice fishing, winter sports, excursion routes, gastronomic tourism. There are also enough ways to celebrate the New Year holiday: you can rent a cottage or rent a room in the guesthouse and spend New Year's Eve in privacy, or you can stay in Petrozavodsk and go to a restaurant.

All three cities are different from each other, so in reality it’s just the weather and most prices are similar. Along with the Cancun area and the Dominican Republic, these Jamaican resorts are also known for all-inclusive resorts and attractive packages. during peak holiday months, you can secure in an attractive deal if you book early enough.

Although San Juan is not among the cheapest places on this list for Christmas, it is still very useful and is a great place to stay for a long time during this period. Especially if you are going to live for more than a week, you should look into renting an apartment, and not into a hotel. There are many in the tourist area nice apartmentswhich are filmed most of the year. If you are staying for a month, you can get an amazing deal compared to the hotel.


You can sing the beauty of Karelia for a long time, it is better to go there and see with your own eyes all the sights and amazing nature.

On New Year in Karelia it is usually warm, not more than 10 degrees of frost. Winter is snowy and mild, but the humidity here is high, windy, and therefore the cold is difficult to endure - we advise you to warm yourself on the road.

Maldives and Seychelles

Those looking for a more restrained vacation without any huge hotel chains may prefer the islands of Ambergris Kay and Kaye Kaulker, which are located off the coast of Belize. These are both long and thin islands, where golf carts serve as taxis and there is little or no sidewalk in sight. Diving and snorkeling here are among the best in the world, even if these islands are short on long sandy beaches.

Belize is an English-speaking country, and there are some Rastafarian feelings on these islands, so this is an interesting combination of culture and convenience. As in most cases on the Belize Islands mentioned above, Roatan Island is actually located only to the south, so it is also located on the second largest barrier reef in the world. This means that there are excellent underwater and scuba diving as well as more sandy beaches, you will be taken to the Belize Islands.

How much will it cost.  You can get there by plane, train or car. It is better to buy tickets in advance. Directions to second-class carriage  in one direction costs from 1108 rubles, in a compartment - from 2134 rubles.

On the plane tickets from Moscow to the capital of Karelia and back cost about 8 thousand rubles.

Hotels Good housing in the city can be rented for 1500-2000 rubles per day. There are more expensive other options, for example

Honduras is a Spanish-speaking country, although especially with the recent influx of cruise ships here, it is very easy to go only english language. At the moment, there are only about 60 hotels on the island, and vacation rates are still surprisingly reasonable, considering what is offered. However, early booking is probably reasonable.

The interior also has national parks and volcanoes, but if your main goal is to relax and become a tourist, the best area around Tamarindo is in Guanacaste province. There is an even newer international airport in the main city of Liberia, so finding cheap direct flights is easy.

Kazan

A good option to celebrate the New Year 2017 is Kazan. The beauty of the city with its magnificent architecture and many sights simply fascinate.

The identity and oriental flavor in this city are organically combined with the ancient Christian shrines. On the territory of the Kazan Kremlin, for example, the beautiful Kul-Sharif Mosque, the Syuyumbike leaning tower and the stately Annunciation Cathedral are located nearby.

Most of this northwestern area is new and quite luxurious, so 4-star resorts and rental properties are not much cheaper than in Hawaii, but there are still really good 3-star deals. Nosara is another small town in the area, I feel such a massive market compared to Tamarindo.

In Panama there are several very good beach resort areas with reasonable prices during Christmas, but it also has this large and mostly modern city in the center that appeals to another traveler. You may even consider spending some time on the beach and another part of your stay in the city, as both are very good this year and in any other.


But not only architectural monuments and museums attracts Kazan. The city surprises with an abundance of street festivities, shows and interactive presentations. A trip to Kazan for holidays is an excellent option for residents of the central part of the country.

It helps if you know at least a little Spanish, but even those who cannot find many opportunities here to keep them occupied. The city has several large shopping centers in the tourist area, so it can be a good place to do Christmas shopping or just hang yourself. The restaurant scene is also well known here.

In recent years, the entire country of Colombia has been reopened by the tourist world, but the historic beach town of Cartagena has been popular much longer. Along the Caribbean coast of the country, Cartagena is an interesting combination of beach hotels and a magnificent city surrounded by a colonial city.

You can spend New Year's Eve in the restaurant of national cuisine, trying out local unusual dishes: sweet Gubadia cake, Echpochmak pies, honey chak-chak, hearty kystyby and so on.

What it cost. The cost of a flight from Moscow and back to the New Year holidays for an adult will be about 6,600 rubles, a train ticket or a bus will be much cheaper.

Not only is Cartagena popular with foreign tourists during the winter months, but local Colombian tourists also relax. This way you won’t escape the crowds here, but at least this is one of the most accessible places for sunlight in the region. 4-star hotels along the beach, located to the west of the historic center, are among the best Christmas bargains. Speaking at least a little Spanish is helpful.

Tenerife is the most convenient for the English-speaking Canary Islands of Spain, which are located west of Morocco. Partly because it’s not a good beach season, hotels in Tenerife are still pretty cheap during the Christmas holidays. Most of the rest is quite accessible, at least compared to where you currently live. Especially if you are looking for a place with reasonable prices for flights from other European countries, this can be a good choice.

This is a specially created resort area, which has long been known to Europeans and other people. While he was removed and, as a rule, was safe from the turmoil nearby, most of his fans now prefer to go elsewhere. We all hope that one day travelers will be able to go to Egypt without checking all the safety warnings every few days.

Dubai is one of the most unusual places anywhere; Dubai is a huge and fast-growing city with several beautiful beaches and an extremely busy airport. The main activity here is shopping in huge shopping mallsFilled with all assortments of goods at reasonable prices.

However, it is worth noting that the best and best hotels in Dubai will cost at least two or three times lower than indicated below. Those who are in lower budgets may get pretty good here, but this should not be confused with the luxury market and beach hotels that compete with the highest rates anywhere in the world.

Goa has been a famous place for hippies for Europeans and some others for decades, but it is also popular with families at this time of year, including many from other places in India. Goa is actually a small state in southern India, dozens of different low-key beach towns, each serving its own fan groups.

The cost of tickets for the train: reserved seat in one direction - about 1000-1700, coupe - 1700-3000 rubles. Travel time is about 12 hours.

Hotels To stop on New Year's holidays in Kazan costs about 2000 rubles per night (you can find good options and cheaper).

Arzamas

You can go completely in the Russian outback. Admire the wonderful city of Arzamas, which is located in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The city is rich in Orthodox shrines, some preserved unique murals. A pilgrimage to Diveevsky monastery will enrich spiritually.

In other words, now you need to do some research before choosing a beach hotel, because most of them are not suitable for you. Room prices are reasonable even at this busiest time of the year, although it is important to note that cheap hotels in Goa tend to be frustrating and rarely worth saving. However, the 4 star hotels in Goa are generally quite good and have great prices for Christmas.

Perhaps this is not as well known as most of the others on this list, Penang Island and its main city, Georgetown, certainly deserve the attention of some people. This area is quite popular among Asian visitors and adventurous people in the West as an alternative to Phuket and other Thai islands.

In Arzamas you can make a lot of interesting excursions, read about the city. A very interesting historical building has been preserved here. Arzamas has been famous for its theaters and museums for many centuries. The nature around the city also will not leave indifferent. For those who like to spend time with health benefits in Arzamas, there are suburban areas for snowboarding and skiing.

With children in Great Ustyug for the New Year

Cheaper hotels in this area are located in the historic center of Georgetown, and beach resorts will cost a bit more. Avoid cheap hotels here and pay close attention, because most of the cheapest rooms have no windows at all. However, it is of great importance here, especially on the food scene. Penang is known as the culinary capital of Malaysia, with an abundance of cheap and fun courts for food in addition to some great restaurants.

This is actually an island with about 12 different beaches, which are very different from each other, so this is another area in which hotel research is criticized. Patong Beach is the largest and most crowded beaches, to the extent that many people absolutely hate it.

Adygea

Do you want to wake you up after the New Year's Eve warm warm sun? Then I suggest to go to the resorts of Adygea.

Due to its good location in the resort villages of Adygea, the climate is excellent. The villages of Khadzhokh and Guzeripl are protected by high mountain ranges, and therefore a unique microclimate and healing air has formed here, saturated essential oils. The weather here is very changeable: on the New Year there can be a plus 15, and a small minus. But then Khadzhokh and Guzeripl have an undeniable advantage, even before the Black Sea resorts - it is very sunny here, it rains extremely rarely.


Where to go - in Khadzhokh or Guzeripl, in the number of attractions and places where you can stay, they differ little. Khadzhokh is a bit more popular with tourists, it is closer from Maikop. Guzeripl is located 76 kilometers from Maykop, but it has its advantages.
  There are no problems with accommodation in the villages - motels and cozy cottages await guests. For a New Year's party it is better to rent a cottage for a large company, with a swimming pool, a gazebo and barbecue facilities. Around the mountains, valleys, covered with snowdrops - you can remember the fairy tale "Twelve months."

Even more conditions for relaxation on hot thermal springs. Here you will definitely take a break from the bustle of the city and get strength for the new year of work. A well-equipped base is located a few kilometers from Khadzhok. There are two pools with lighting, the water in which is constantly updated. The temperature is about 40 degrees. You can sit in this pool for hours. In Guzeripl, thermal water pools are located in sanatoriums.


If you still want to move, you should walk around and ride around. And in these places there really is something to see: the Lago-Naki plateau and the mountain Fisht. And here is a ski resort, where you can go for a couple of days. The main attraction of the village of Kamennomostsky (Khadzhokh) is the Khadzhokhskaya gorge, located on its southern outskirts. This is a very narrow and deep canyon, along the bottom of which flows the crystal-clear White River. And over the canyon itself hangs a collapsed rock that formed a natural stone bridge - because of him the village got its present name. Khadzhokh is the Circassian name, and it is often used by locals and tourists. Be sure to get to Rufbago Falls. In winter, they are even more beautiful: everything is icebound, and the trees are covered with transparent frost. In the vicinity of Khadzhokh more than 10 visited caves, the famous gorge Meshoko and Aminovskoe.


  Guzeripl is located on the territory of the Caucasus State Biosphere Reserve, the already mentioned river Belaya flows through the village, on the right bank of which a reserve museum is opened on the bridge. And behind the museum there is the largest dolmen in Adygea.

What it cost. The plane to Krasnodar from 2225 rubles in one direction (it is possible through Rostov), ​​the train to). Then you can take a taxi, about 2500-3000 rubles for one car, or you can arrange a transfer from your hotel.

The Federal Agency for Tourism recommended that Russian tourists abandon plans to spend the New Year in Egypt. "While this is not necessary," - said   Head of Rostourism Alexander Radkovwho acknowledged that there is no alternative in cost and time of flight to the country of the pyramids.

New Year's vouchers are already expensive, and after Rosturizm advised compatriots to refrain from traveling to Egypt for the New Year holidays, tours to other destinations will surely grow, experts warn. However, vacation is such a thing, on which it is better not to save, but to overpay for your own safety and comfort.
