New Year is such a specific celebration that requires desperate celebration from ordinary people. Preferably in the family circle. Therefore, the question of where to go for New Year 2016, some matrons begin to ask their spouses immediately after returning from summer vacation. And now let's try to make a conditional hit parade of countries and cities where you can celebrate New Year in economic mode.
New Year Classic
Number one on our list of places to go for New Year 2016 on a budget, Finland occupied. And who else, if not the country where Santa Claus himself lives. The local name is Joulupukki. To be more precise, his permanent location is Lapland. A hut on Mount Korvatunturi, where the kind grandfather lives surrounded by elves busy sorting children's gifts and cards. In addition, the officially built residence of Joulupukki is located nearby - in the village of Rovaniemi, which has become a kind of Mecca for parents with children.
For those who want to celebrate a real New Year and Christmas with snow, decorated trees, but without the cult of worship of a half-pagan, half-Christian character, we offer the same Finland. An option for where to celebrate the New Year 2016 not very expensive can be the cities of Turku or Tornio. Here, at midday, on Christmas Eve, the "Christmas Peace" is announced on the central city square. After that, everyone congratulates each other. After that, they go home or to restaurants, where they start a festive meal. Then - picturesque caroling, as well as almost mass sleigh rides, skating and skiing.
Aesthetes and opponents of New Year's pop can go to Mount Aavasaka or Lake Saimaa, located near the Arctic Circle. A cozy hotel and the spectacle of the Northern Lights will make such a New Year truly unique. You can spend the night in the Ice Hotel in Finland in Kemi, and recharge your adrenaline immunity at the ski resorts of Vukatti, Levi, Ruka or Ylläs.
Spirit of the New Year
Another option for an economical New Year's celebration and second place in our rating is trip to the Czech Republic. This could be Golden Prague itself, with a special atmosphere of the Middle Ages, radiated by the Old Town Square given over to carriages and tourists, the enchanted Golden Lane or the mystical Charles Bridge. The charm of this option of where to go for New Year 2016 is the opportunity to buy a short tour. Here they are accustomed to guests "for the weekend", so having celebrated Christmas on January 25, the locals will do everything to turn your New Year into a real extravaganza of feelings and sensations.
An alternative to Prague could be a New Year's holiday in Karlovy Vary or Marianske Lazne, known to us as Marienbad. The first resort is famous for its dozen thermal springs and signature drink, Becherovka. The other is famous for its cold springs, singing fountains and the shadow of a whole galaxy of monarchs and writers who loved to celebrate the New Year in Marianske Lazne. I think that no one needs to explain the benefits of combining health balneology and family celebration.
New Year – at sea!
Third place in the ranking of the best country-cities for an inexpensive celebration We would like to give the date of transition from one time dimension to another to a geographical object located somewhere on the shore of the sea-ocean. Agree that New Year 2016 at the sea, with palm trees instead of Christmas trees, can be much warmer and more comfortable than in your native Fatherland. As a concession to the holiday, you can buy a red swimsuit and a pareo with snowflakes.
Where exactly to go for New Year 2016 inexpensively? Our option is Turkey и Egypt. On the southern coast of Turkey – in Antalya and Alanya, it is warm enough to relax well, and cool enough to avoid the mass tourist crowds. The situation in Egypt is even more attractive. If you choose one of the hotels belonging to the endless recreational zone on the shores of the Red Sea, called Sharm El Sheikh, you can provide yourself with daily holiday swimming. The sea temperature will allow tourists from the Russian Federation to spend the entire cycle of winter holidays in the water – from Christmas to Epiphany. In addition, in winter, the cost of tours to these countries is indecently low. Especially if you take care of this a few months before the actual celebration of the New Year.
