10 interesting options where to go for the New Year 2018 in Russia. Where to meet and celebrate the New Year in Russia and how to spend the New Year holidays.

Where to go for the New Year in Russia?

If it is not possible to "overwinter" in hot countries, in the cold season we are warmed only by the thought of the most magical holiday - the New Year. And although the New Year holidays are the perfect time to travel to a foreign coast, most of us prefer to celebrate at home, in snowy Russia, so that there is a Christmas tree, friendly passers-by in red hats and Santa Claus's toy beard, ice slides and sleighs. My opinion is that it is possible to make New Year's Eve special and unusual in our area. For example, it is now fashionable to settle in ski resorts. I bring to your attention a selection of the most suitable places where to celebrate the New Year in Russia, where to go inexpensively.

Where to meet and celebrate the 2018 New Year in Russia?

If you suddenly decide to go on vacation in Russia on a tour, then see the prices below to determine the duration of the trip.

New Year in Moscow

I decided to start from Moscow, because. Every year, tens of thousands of our compatriots flock here in order not to miss the lighting of lanterns and the red star on the main Christmas tree, attend a festive concert on the main square and take pictures at artfully decorated shop windows. The festive fireworks is already a tradition, and here it strikes with its magnificence. Moscow is one of the best places to celebrate the New Year in Russia.

Another well-known place where the famous architectural buildings and the main sights of the city are located is the exhibition center of the Ostankino district of VDNKh, namely, Poklonnaya Gora. Fashionable restaurants and family cafes are concentrated here. A romantic, magical atmosphere on a festive night will help create a panoramic view of Moscow. This produces a super-effect on any tourist.

You can meet 2018 in such an unusual way as riding a river boat. Moscow river is not worse than St. Petersburg's Neva. Especially at night.

New Year's Peter

Another beautiful place where you can celebrate the New Year in Russia is St. Petersburg. You can talk endlessly about the most visited places and main sights of St. Petersburg. The cultural capital of Russia in winter resembles pictures from films and TV shows about Russian emperors and palace coups. No wonder that on New Year's Eve, travel agencies offer a great variety of tours to the city on the Neva.

Luxurious squares of St. Petersburg with majestic palaces are probably the most affordable option to celebrate the main holiday of the year to this day. As in Moscow, a tall Christmas tree is annually set up on Palace Square, garlands are lit and a magnificent concert is organized.

Peter opens the doors of the most worthy establishments for a celebration on the main square or Nevsky Prospekt. Here are my 3 favorite restaurants: Terrassa, Nebar, Che-Dor.

New Year's Eve in the resort city of Sochi

I think a Russian person will like it in Sochi at any time of the year. On New Year's holidays, the city becomes a kind of "piece of summer" in winter. Krasnaya Polyana, for example, attracts tourists with "cool" skiing. The New Year is celebrated here on a grand scale, and therefore Sochi is another option where to go on New Year's holidays in Russia.

Sochi residents also hold festive concerts and celebrate January 1 under the chiming clock in the city square - the South Pier. By the way, not far from the South Pier there are a large number of cafes / bars, where the holiday atmosphere reigns all year round.

Be sure to visit the Olympic Park, which has recently become the most attractive place for Sochi guests. There is also "Fisht", the winter sports palace "Iceberg", a curling center.

Baikal for the New Year

Where you should go in Russia for the New Year holidays is Baikal. I remember this place very fondly. I remember how my heart sank when I first saw the beauty of Baikal - the "pearl of Siberia". In winter, it is no less picturesque.

On New Year's Eve, you can arrange real winter adventures here: dog sledding on ice, fishing, creating ice figures and much more. I assure you that here you will meet many compatriots from different regions - from Moscow to Vladivostok. Local residents have long been accustomed to such a "party", so the conditions here are the most suitable for an active and unforgettable vacation. In the vicinity of Lake Baikal, there are many hotels, ski resorts where you can stay by booking a room in advance.

If you get bored of admiring the icy Baikal, go to the Small Sea (one of the most touristy parts of Lake Baikal). The Small Sea is separated by the mysterious island of Olkhon. There are many small rocky islands on Baikal, but Olkhon is the largest. The island is endowed with its own legend about shamanic gods and evil spirits.

For example, it was interesting for me to look at the monument to Admiral Kolchak in Irkutsk, because. this is my favorite historical character. And the most fun and large-scale New Year's programs are arranged on the territory of the Taltsy Museum - a complex of architectural structures-expositions.

You need to know, if you want to get to Baikal, then you will need to get to Irkutsk. It is from here that the most convenient routes to any point of Baikal.

New Year in Crimea

In 2018, no one in our country will be surprised by a sudden trip to Crimea. Even in winter, even on New Year's Eve. Here you feel at home, but the atmosphere of relaxation reigns around, hotels, hostels, cafes / restaurants and night parties fill with hundreds of vacationers.

On the coast of Yalta, real fun unfolds on New Year's Eve: mass festivities, fairs, dances, salutes and fireworks.

Staying in the Crimea longer, you can see a bunch of amazing places, as part of an excursion, for example. Have you been to the Crimean caves? Or maybe dined in the mountains? Did you dive into the Black Sea with a bottle of good wine? In general, here they will tell you how to spend New Year's Eve in an unusual way. Well, where else to go on New Year's holidays in Russia?

New Year's Vladivostok

Far, you say? In fact, the region, which is actively being built and developing now, has begun to attract more and more foreign tourists as well. Asians arrive here and stop in the Primorsky capital not only as a “transit”. Just imagine what beauty is around - the sea, modern high-rise buildings and architecture of the 19th century. In winter, it is even warmer here than in many cities of Russia, where you can relax on New Year's Eve.

On the night of 31 Dec. as of 1 Jan. on the main city square - pl. Fighters for the power of the Soviets, where the "White House" is located, do not push through. Loud music, fireworks, Santa Clauses with Snow Maidens, performances of city talents, etc.

In Vladivostok and its environs there are many comfortable and inexpensive camp sites overlooking the sea bay. Particularly extreme Primorye people like to arrange trips to the taiga on New Year's holidays (some with hunting, some with fishing, and some just breathe in the forest air and warm themselves by the fire with a guitar).

Friendly Karelia

"Frost-resistant" travelers will be happy to spend the New Year and Christmas in the Republic of Karelia. The best place to stay is in Petrozavodsk – here you will find the most fun establishments and the best holiday accommodation at very affordable prices.

If you brought your little children to Karelia, then at some children's party you will meet Pakkaine - Santa Claus (Karelian). By the way, Pakkaine has his own house and you can visit him with your child. The main city event on New Year's Eve takes place on the central square of the capital of Karelia.

To get to know Karelia better, I advise you to take a tour of historical places, look into the marble quarry in the Ruskeala park (a cultural heritage site).

Journey to Altai for the New Year

Another snowy option where to go to NG in Russia, which will certainly interest fans of winter sports. Altai Territory is the land of majestic mountains. Here are the most elite ski resorts and sanatoriums. You can immediately kill two birds with one stone - run in the ski slopes and improve your health. In addition, excellent “matinees” are also held in sanatorium institutions.

For example, the resort town of Belokurikha is in demand among tourists who leave only positive reviews. Swim in the hot springs of nitrogen-radon waters (this is the visiting card of the resort). Belokurikha itself cannot boast of numerous sights, so you need to go here purposefully for "skiing". Adherents of trekking (hiking in the mountains) will appreciate the mountainous terrain of Tserkovka.

On New Year's Eve, you can stay somewhere in the Katun sanatorium (you can think of entertainment yourself). Take the children to the water park "Belovodie" - you can spend the whole day here!

Sheregesh, Kemerovo region

The Sheregesh ski complex, located in a small village of the same name in Siberia, is a great place where you can spend your New Year holidays in Russia. It is called "native Courchevel". It is here that over a million active and more or less wealthy tourists come. Weather? That's where it will always snow on New Year's Eve!

If you only dream of becoming a professional skier, here you will have a great opportunity to learn yourself and your children. There are advanced and training tracks. In our country, these are almost the highest ski hills - the total height is more than 35 thousand meters. On the territory of the resort there are a lot of hotels, cottages to accommodate guests. Colorful festivals are held here throughout the year. I think New Year's Eve will be no less fun.

New Year in European style in Kaliningrad

© mario_storch / flickr.com / CC BY 2.0

When you get to Kaliningrad, you get to Europe. In Russia… It seems to me that this is the most unusual city in our country. Kaliningrad still harbors an atmosphere of something "foreign": buildings, clean streets, signs and inscriptions in German.

By the way, New Year's Eve under the chiming clock is unlikely to be met on the main city square. Here, they even invented their own traditions! Citizens usually spend the Old New Year and spend New Year's Eve in a narrow family circle - at home. But on January 1, all day long, music, fireworks are heard on Victory Square, festive concerts and fairs are held.

During this period, it is not too frosty in Kaliningrad (compared to how it is with us at the end of March-April up to 5+). It’s not snowfall here, but heavy rains with strong winds.

I would like to sum up. Wherever you go to celebrate the New Year 2018, in Russia you will feel a special Russian New Year's atmosphere everywhere: champagne, Christmas tree, Russian salad, “black bread, herring” and smiling passers-by as never before. Let's go to hot countries for the New Year holidays!

Where to go for the New Year in Europe

Where is the best place to celebrate the traditional New Year? With a Christmas tree, holiday fairs, ornate storefronts and mass celebrations? Of course, in Europe!

Many European cities are preparing for the holidays already in November and early December, and grandiose sales begin in stores in January.

But pay attention: in Europe, the main holiday of winter is Christmas, and the New Year is celebrated there, but on a smaller scale. Therefore, if you want to see New Year's Europe at the right time, it is better to go on vacation on the twentieth of December, and not at the end of the month.

The best option is to go to Europe on December 20-23 and spend one and a half to two weeks there, returning at the beginning of the year. So you will find both Christmas and New Year.

Switzerland

Switzerland has a big advantage over other European countries - in late December and January there is almost always snow (at least in the mountains). Real, furry, lying in large snowdrifts along the streets and houses.

If you want to catch the holiday directly, it is better to go to Switzerland for Christmas, since the New Year is practically not celebrated in this country. For noisy festivities and festive fun choose one of the major cities- Christmas markets are held there, sweets and souvenirs are sold.

If you want peace, you should choose one of the ski resorts: the celebrations there are not so large-scale, but there is an opportunity to enjoy solitude and beautiful mountain landscapes.

The best option, in our opinion, is to celebrate Christmas in the city, and then go skiing or snowboarding to one of the Swiss resorts.

How to relax on New Year's Eve cheaper

  1. 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 holidays are growing every day.
  2. If it’s not critical for you to meet the New Year directly abroad, but you want to plunge into 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.
  3. 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.
