New Year in Prague - 2020
Our experience: If you are flying for 7-10 days, it is cheaper to buy a tour. Favorable dates are usually with departure until December 25, then prices rise sharply.
The price of tours to the Czech Republic in the New Year depends on excursion service. If visiting ancient castles in Prague is not included in the plans, it is worth:
- visit for Christmas in the heart of the Old Town - on the Old Town Square, look at the country's main Christmas tree, take part in folk festivals, drink hot mulled wine and see the monument to the legendary Jan Hus;
- take a picture at the Prague Castle - an architectural landmark and the presidential residence;
- look into the pearl of the city - St. Vitus Cathedral;
- walk along the Charles Bridge, admire the medieval towers and sculptures;
- walk through the parks of Vyshgorod and see the city from the fortress wall.

New Year in Paris
Paris, like all of Europe, is unlikely to distinguish itself for the New Year with a romantic snowball and a slight "minus". Rather, a dank under-rain and an unpleasant "plus". The capital of France, in our opinion, is not the best choice for celebrating on the street (well, like on Red Square - with a sparkler, crowd-fun-congratulations).
Firstly, yes, there are a lot of migrants in Paris who will also come out to have fun. Secondly, Paris is the most visited city in Europe, so tourists will be generously added to the visitors. Apart from eiffel tower, Sacré-Coeur Basilica and the Champs Elysees, you can celebrate the New Year according to the following scenarios:
- Cruise on the Seine - pretentious with a dress code and not very
- Cabaret - Moulin Rouge, Lido and other Parisian classics
- Restaurant or hotel with New Year's show
- Disneyland
A tour to Paris is, of course, unreasonable and expensive. Although independent organization not to say that it saves rubles:
✓ Round-trip flights with capture on December 31 - from 16,000 rubles per person
✓ Most cheap hotel(not a hostel) - from 40 euros per room
✓ Apartment on Airbnb - from 45 euros (and 28 euros discount if you are a beginner)
