We will not indicate specific prices for tours, since there are a million factors to consider. Don’t waste your time and just calculate the cost of flights and excursions in the search after you decide on the direction. Don't worry, we'll figure it out.

Just remember: the longer you wait, the more expensive tickets. During peak seasons, trips are very expensive, so book your tickets in advance.

Where to celebrate the New Year inexpensively abroad?

If this is Europe:

  • Slovenia;
  • Hungary;
  • Czech Republic;
  • Poland;
  • Latvia;
  • Finland;
  • Estonia.

In these countries, comparatively cheap flights, and prices for the entire trip will be much cheaper than other countries.

If this is Asia:

  • Philippines;
  • Vietnam;
  • Thailand.

Keep in mind that the flight will cost you from 25,000 rubles. But if you travel within the country, the prices there will be very reasonable.

First, let's see what Europe offers us. If you are a connoisseur of classic Christmas and New Year, love a lush Christmas tree and fairs, then you should definitely go only to Europe. Nowhere abroad will you be offered such magical romance as you can find here.

Just remember that Europe loves Christmas exclusively. On this holiday abroad, people gather with their families and refuse to work. And the New Year is like a good day off for them. If you are ready to put up with this, then the Czech Republic or Finland are suitable for you. Don't think that Europeans won't take care of you. They know how much we love the New Year and when they celebrate their holiday, they will organize a great celebration for you as a tourist. for sure.

To enter most European countries you need a Schengen visa. Its registration costs 5,000 rubles. At independent travel need health insurance. For those who purchase a tour, insurance will already be taken into account.

Classic France

Do you want romance? Then you should go to France. All the fun is concentrated on Champs Elysees, y Arc de Triomphe And Eiffel Tower. Where all the beauty of the city center is.

If you need something more organized, you can book a cruise on the Seine River or sit at a table in a chic Parisian restaurant. But it’s better to organize several options at once: first, take a ride along the Seine, then on the skating rink under the Eiffel Tower.

France is suitable for holidays with children because it offers both Disneyland and activities for parents.

Clockwork Netherlands

In the Netherlands, Amsterdam beckons. The city is covered with illuminations, every street is teeming with fairs, and in any shopping center you can stumble upon a sale. Just paradise.

Hospitable Baltics

Why not go to Tallinn, Riga or Vilnius? It’s close, very inexpensive, and the holidays are no worse than in central Europe. Here's what you'll immediately like: flight prices. Compared with France, it is much more democratic. Check it out.

Warm Czech Republic

Do you want sophistication and sophistication? Take a closer look at the Czech Republic. It's Europe, but very cheap. Any family can afford it. You won’t believe how beautiful it is there. However, all that is needed is .

Generous Germany

We can say about Germany that it celebrates the holidays on a grand scale. Better go to Berlin, Cologne or Munich.

Mix with the crowd at the capital's fair, taste the best traditional hot sausages and mingle with the people. It will be fun.

Noisy England

Here you need to go straight to Trafalgar Square. All fireworks will be launched from the Ferris wheel or from the River Thames on boats. Please note that some places will require a fee. Yes, because the influx is large.

After clinking glasses with strangers in the square, you can go to the local pub and continue the fun until the morning, and on January 1st get to the famous English parade. You need to see this at least once.

Fairytale Finland

Here it is better to go straight to the cottage. Somewhere outside the city, in a dense forest. Indescribable beauty that chokes you and fills you to the very top. Do you know why? Nature is like that. Go to any ski resort and you won’t regret it.

One of the reasons why our tourist chooses Finland is that it’s great to celebrate with children. Who doesn't want to visit Lapland? Next stop is Santa's residence. Give your child a gift.

Elite Switzerland

Do you know why Switzerland is the coolest? Because there will definitely be snow here. So shaggy and snowdrift. If other countries can fail in this matter, Switzerland will never. One minus is that they almost never celebrate the New Year, only Christmas. So, if you can afford to extend your vacation, then go to Switzerland for Christmas, and somewhere closer for New Year. If the holiday itself doesn’t bother you much, then at least go for the whole weekend; you can’t go wrong with nature.

Switzerland will take you skiing, give you a massage at a ski resort and treat you to a cup of cocoa.

Heady Italy

Italians will first hang out with their family at home, and then go out to entertain you. Like in Poland.


Head to the Colosseum and Piazza Venezia. Here they organize concerts and offer fun right on the streets. The greatest concentration of people is always in Piazza del Poppolo. You should go there too. But if you are traveling to Italy for the taste sensations, then book a table in the central restaurant and enjoy delicious dishes that will definitely make your head spin. The chefs of Rome work wonders.

Alternative sea

Fine. Wet snow, cold weather and all these flashlights are not your thing. Then go to the sea. Here you will be greeted by an alternative reality with a warm beach, bright sun and all that is required of you is to put on a swimsuit. No mittens, just a bikini. Your option? Then read on.

Thailand is the most popular place. Choose either Phuket or Pattaya. They are the most civilized. I mean, they were very well organized to suit our needs. There is also Bangkok. Here everyone goes out shopping mall Central World and there they unanimously reprimand the last seconds of the year.

There is also Koh Phangan. They organize a great party there, attracting up to 30,000 people at once. You can imagine? Definitely without children, but with a loved one.

Maldives

This is a place of solitude. When you get here, you will remind yourself of a little pearl that has slammed shut in a shell from the entire civilized world. Right. Sometimes this is also necessary. There is no fun, holidays, banquets here. Only silence and mountains of sun.

Vietnam

We somehow, but in the winter months there can be heavy rains here, so your options are Phu Quoc, Phan Thiet, Vung Tau or Mui Ne. The Vietnamese will celebrate the New Year much later than us, in February, but when you arrive, they will give you such fun that you will be satisfied.

Dominican Republic

Something special happens here - fireworks, parties, dancing. This is a real beach holiday with a claim to active action. The resorts are not the most affordable, so we remembered the Dominican Republic by the way and moved on.

Cuba

Here the prices are low and the weather is always great. We offer this scenario for celebrating the New Year: first, eat your fill in the hotel restaurant, and then go to the general festivities on Cathedral Square. It is in the center of Havana.


Philippines

You can come here without a visa. Choose Boracay. The sea is warm, the beaches are white. If it’s expensive, then there is also Panglao or Bantayan.

Just for our readers, a few secrets - how to make a holiday abroad for the New Year holidays 2017 even cheaper:

  • Buy tickets in advance. Not at the very last moment, when their cost increases several times, even if you are flying to a neighboring city.
  • For those for whom the holiday itself is unimportant and needs to save money on tickets, returning before New Year’s Eve or immediately after it costs 3–4 times cheaper. We walked at night and went home - a good option for young people, for example.
  • Heading to Europe for shopping? Then you need to plan to return in mid-January, because all the sales start at the beginning of the year. The first two weeks are enough for shopping.

Perhaps this is all we can tell you about where to go on holiday for the New Year 2017 (abroad, inexpensive). Your holiday for the New Year holidays will definitely be successful if you think through the nuances, decide in advance where to celebrate and, most importantly, with whom. Happy holidays.

However, many people travel around the surrounding area on their own, renting a car is cheap and you can choose not only the class of car, even a specific make and year of manufacture.
