Where to go for New Year 2021 inexpensively
To decide where to go inexpensively for the New Year, it is recommended to start from changes in prices for resort destinations. There are many countries that deliberately lower prices during the winter holidays because the flow of tourists is significantly reduced.
Destinations where to travel cheaply for New Year 2021 include Turkey, Montenegro, Croatia, Cyprus and Greece. There are other inexpensive countries, but these are the best combination of quality and budget holidays.
Türkiye
Turkey is the main choice for Russians who are looking for where to go on a budget for the New Year 2021. During the New Year holidays, it is best to relax in resort cities, because the weather is warmer there, especially in the southern resorts.
Hotels in Turkey have heated swimming pools, and recreational areas are open all year round. It is recommended to visit Istanbul, Ankara and the southern resorts of the country. Streets and squares are decorated for the holiday in Istanbul and Ankara, but Turkish citizens perceive winter holidays rather as something formal and not as close to their hearts as Russians. The air temperature reaches +15 °C.
Montenegro
Montenegro has recently become a popular destination for Russian tourists. During the winter holidays there are especially many Russian-speaking vacationers here, because prices for tours become 40-30% lower.
The state is located in three climatic zones: continental, Mediterranean and coastal. In winter, it is preferable to go to resort places in coastal areas. The air temperature there at this time of year averages +2 °C.
Montenegro is one of the cheapest options in winter for those looking for an inexpensive place to go for the New Year.
Croatia
Many tourists love to travel to Croatia during the New Year holidays.
At this time of year, the atmosphere in resort areas and big cities is imbued with the spirit of celebration and joy. The nature and ancient architecture of the country will provide a comfortable stay even when you can’t bask on the beach or swim in the sea. Nevertheless, the air temperature is quite pleasant, fluctuating around +8…+12 °C. In winter, you can visit several popular ski resorts, where the snow does not melt and the temperature does not drop below −5 °C.
Cyprus
Despite the fact that Cyprus is associated with beach holidays, travelers also like to celebrate the New Year here. Since most of the population are believers, the holiday is celebrated brightly throughout the country.
People take to the streets, talk to passers-by, dance, and treat each other to drinks and food. The air temperature here is very high for winter - +13...+17 °C. To know where it is better to go for the New Year in Cyprus, you need to focus on the following resorts: Ayia Napa, Larnaca, Famagusta and Paphos.
Greece
One of the most popular travel ideas for the New Year is a trip to Greece. For most people in the country, this holiday is the most important of the year.
Every Greek sees new life in the coming of the New Year. Greece is greatly transformed during the holidays, both externally (street decorations, dancing, traditional dishes) and in terms of attitude, because every person becomes even more welcoming and friendly, especially towards visitors.
And prices for holidays in this country have remained among the lowest for residents of Russia and the CIS for more than a decade. Therefore, when looking for a cheap place to go for New Year 2021, tourists often choose Greece.
Prepare a surprise for your other half
And now we’re not just talking about gifts under the tree, we’ll talk about them later. You can do for your man what he has long wanted and what he does not expect to receive on this particular day. For example, dance a striptease for him. Yes, yes, in high heels and some kind of skimpy peignoir. Please your loved one with a spicy dance - whet his interest in further events of New Year's Eve.
Now as for gifts: there should be one! Necessarily! Someone probably buys gifts (and gives them) long before the New Year, others buy something for the house, and still others have decided to completely abandon “useless little things that have nowhere to put them.” But nevertheless, give each other gifts on New Year's Eve! Let it be something completely insignificant, even better if this something makes sense only for the two of you. The ritual of giving creates an unusually pleasant holiday atmosphere.
When the clock strikes 12 and you drink champagne, take your gift from a secluded corner and, accompanying it with warm words, present it to your loved one. And it would be great if he did the same.
Visa-free countries for New Year's holidays
If you choose a destination where to go for the New Year without a visa, you can save both money and time. It is also much easier to plan trips to visa-free countries because there is no risk of visa refusal.
By 2021, Russians have visa-free access to almost 150 countries. According to statistics for 2021, popular visa-free destinations for Russians include Georgia, Belarus, Abkhazia and Armenia. And Argentina is a New Year's trend of recent years.
Georgia
Despite the cancellation of flights between Georgia and the Russian Federation, Georgia is still one of the most popular resort countries for Russians. Now you can only get into it through a transfer in another country.
The main holiday of the year is celebrated here on a grand scale: the streets are brightly decorated, restaurants prepare festive dishes, and the doors of many houses are open to any guest.
But when the New Year arrives, Georgians celebrate it in their homes or restaurants, and not on the streets, as in many European countries. In winter, it is recommended to visit Batumi; the air temperature there does not drop below +8 °C.
Belarus
When a lover of Slavic traditions and culture decides where to go on holiday for New Year 2021, he will most likely choose Belarus. At first glance it may seem that there is no difference between Russia and Belarus, but this is a misconception.
Here you can celebrate the New Year in a house on the edge of the forest, with a bathhouse nearby and traditional dishes for dinner. Also at this time of year, the country's ski resorts are popular among tourists, the routes of which are in no way inferior to European ones.
Abkhazia
During the winter season, Abkhazia has several advantages: the unique atmosphere of the country, budget holidays and pleasant weather.
Even by January, palm trees are still growing in many resort areas. The tourist infrastructure here is developed at the highest level - hotels arrange interesting New Year's programs, events and festive dinners for tourists, and the residents are very friendly and kind. In the winter season, it is best to visit Gudauta or Gagra. The air temperature there does not fall below +10 °C.
Armenia
Many travelers who are looking for where to go with their family for the New Year choose Armenia. All thanks to the warm winter, hospitality, famous local cuisine and the atmosphere of a grandiose holiday.
Children are especially comfortable traveling to this country, since it is located nearby, and the air temperature in Yerevan averages +6 °C. There is no rain or slush here, winter is dry and snowy.
You can also visit the famous ski resort of Tsaghkadzor, which has routes for both children and beginners, as well as professional skiers.
Argentina
For Russians, traveling to Argentina in winter is becoming more and more popular every year. The main advantages of holidays in the country: summer weather, New Year's festivities and beaches.
In January, the carnival season begins, which will leave a vivid impression on every tourist. And swimming in the ocean and sunbathing on the beach is a strong contrast to the cold and harsh Russia at this time of year. In addition, there is no visa between Argentina and Russia. The only drawback is that holidays in the country are above average, and the flight is long.
Destinations for a New Year's holiday at sea
What could be more pleasant than spending the New Year at sea? After all, residents of Russia and the CIS associate this holiday with cold weather and snow. Celebrating the new year by basking on the beach and swimming in warm water is what a real holiday means!
Thailand
The most popular destination for people looking for a place to go on holiday for New Year 2021 is Thailand.
There is a huge attendance here in the winter season because the weather is hot and summery. The holiday is celebrated brightly and noisily, and in addition to the traditional version, there is also the Chinese and Thai New Year, which are also celebrated on a grand scale.
Beaches, sea and tropics - that's what Thailand represents in the winter season.
India
India itself is not very popular at this time of year, but many Russian-speaking tourists fly to Goa.
Apart from the summer weather, sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, travelers love Goa for its European traditions during the New Year holidays. Previously, this territory was a Portuguese colony, so many traditions and part of the culture have been preserved from that time.
Indonesia
The main resort of Indonesia is Bali.
This is where many travelers from the CIS concentrate, especially during the New Year period. In autumn, the rainy season begins in Bali, and it ends just by mid-December. This makes for a comfortable beach holiday on Christmas Eve. The residents of the country themselves celebrate the new year in the spring, but they organize various events for tourists, so the holiday atmosphere is present.
Vietnam
Vietnam is an excellent option for where to go for New Year 2021. Just like in Indonesia, the holiday itself takes place at a different time, and on December 31 it is held only for people from other countries.
This includes concerts on the embankments, various events in hotels and restaurants, the opportunity to spend a night and day on a yacht, as well as other entertainment. Some families rent houses by the sea and spend a festive night there.
Sri Lanka
In Sri Lanka, residents celebrate both Christmas and New Year, so the holiday here is bright and extensive. The reason lies in the fact that in the past the territory of this state was one of the Portuguese colonies and many traditions have remained there to this day.
During the winter holidays, discos are held on the beaches, hotels hold various events, people walk and dance. And at the beginning of January, a large-scale festival takes place here, which is a procession of dressed up elephants.
New Year's party at the club
A great option for celebrating the New Year for two beauties would be to visit a nightclub or restaurant. Just the beginning of the party may be for two, but the end of the night will bring many interesting acquaintances. You can start preparing for such a celebration at one of you’s home, doing makeup, hairstyles, and choosing outfits together. Thus, the New Year's mood will rise above all indicators.
Where is the best place to spend the New Year in Europe?
New Year in Europe is a children's atmosphere of winter holidays, including Christmas.
It is recommended to visit European countries on Christmas Eve, because for Europeans this is the main holiday of the year.
Holidays in European countries are, first of all, a cultural and moral holiday, radically different from a beach holiday.
Estonia
When thinking about Estonia as a place to go for winter holidays, they most often mean Tallinn.
Tallinn is especially popular among couples in love, because in the city itself there is this atmosphere when you forget about everything except yourself and your significant other, and immerse yourself in feelings.
During this holiday period, the city is similar to other major cities in Europe, but has the advantage over them of being much cheaper, both in terms of the trip itself and in terms of internal costs.
Spain
One of the few countries in Europe where the winter season is very warm is Spain. The air temperature in January and December does not fall below +15 °C.
The Spaniards are known as emotional, bright people, so they celebrate winter holidays brightly: with dancing, gifts, intricate costumes and singing. The traditions and cultures of this country are one of the main reasons for traveling here, not to mention the cuisine, architecture and technology.
Czech
The Czech Republic, namely its capital, Prague, changes radically during the New Year holidays.
Houses and buildings are decorated with garlands and lights, decorated Christmas trees and various figures stand in the courtyards, and even people are dressed in holiday sweaters and hats. Huge elegant fir trees are installed on large streets and squares, around which dances and fairs take place. And traditional Czech dishes are the feature for which many gourmets love this country, not to mention Czech beer.
France
If we talk about France, then it is best to celebrate the beginning of the year in Paris. The whole city is covered in a pleasant festive bustle, and the streets are decorated not too brightly, but with taste.
The Eiffel Tower begins to play with different colors, and city residents go out onto the Champs Elysees. Thousands of people count down on them, and fireworks spread across the sky after midnight.
Finland
Despite the harsh winter climate, Finland is very popular among those looking for where to spend the New Year 2021. On Christmas Eve, bright fairs, various shows and grandiose fireworks begin here, which are prohibited at any other time.
Families with children visit Lapland, which is home to Santa Claus. This home is designed like an amusement park, with elves and Santa.
Think carefully about your plan of action
But under no circumstances imagine in advance what emotions you will experience! This will make it easier to perceive all the events of the night without any special expectations, and therefore, possible disappointments.
Let's get back to the plan. Spontaneity is, of course, good, but not always. Agree, you don’t want to sit together in silence, mentally biting your elbows and figuring out what to do with yourself. The salads have been eaten, New Year's programs have been watched, there seems to be nothing to talk about (and this happens), and in the meantime, New Year's Eve is already trying to give way to New Year's morning.
Maybe you decide to stay at home and diversify everyone’s usual songs, dances and games with your own - intimate ones.
It is for this that you need to draw up at least an approximate scenario. You might want to go for a walk (if the weather permits), set off a small festive fireworks display; or maybe you decide to stay at home and diversify everyone’s usual songs, dances and games with your own - intimate ones. For example, strip card games, making wishes for each other, board games for adults, or the most outright role-playing games.
And one more thing: who said that the New Year is a table holiday? How do you like a holiday in the bathroom? Prepare the bathroom in advance: put out citrus-scented candles, place oranges and tangerines, clove stars, cinnamon sticks everywhere and climb into the warm foamy water with your loved one. What's not a great alternative to constantly watching New Year's programs on TV?
In general, the choice of all kinds of ways to diversify a wonderful night is quite large, and the whole beauty of the New Year together is that you can afford much more than in a noisy company of friends or among your beloved relatives.
