The Czech Republic is firmly associated with majestic castles, famous beer, Skoda cars and… New Year! Indeed, celebrating New Year in the Czech Republic, and more specifically in Prague, has become incredibly fashionable. So what is it that attracts hordes of tourists to Prague at the end of December? Why are tours to the Czech Republic for New Year 2016 already “selling out” like hot cakes?
Well, first of all, Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in the world (and this is a generally accepted fact that does not require proof), and before the celebration of Catholic Christmas and New Year it becomes doubly beautiful! All these countless garlands and lanterns that look great on the colorful medieval architecture, the gorgeous spruce on the Old Town Square, illumination and a sea of lights!
Mmm, beautiful!
Secondly, from a financial point of view, celebrating the New Year 2016 in the Czech Republic is much more profitable than in many other European countries. The relative proximity to the borders of Ukraine and Russia also plays a significant role here, as a result of which tickets are cheaper. Moreover, December in Prague is the time of mass sales and the famous Christmas fair on the Old Town Square, so you can buy something interesting for cheap. A quick look at the offers of large tourist web portals showed the availability of relatively inexpensive tours to Prague for the New Year holidays of 2016. Prices for a tour to New Year's Prague for 6-7 nights start at approximately 650-700 euros per person. Not bad at all, considering the immodest cost of similar trips, say, to France or Germany.
Thirdly, celebrating the New Year in Prague means immersing yourself in the magic and incomparable atmosphere of the Czech Republic, generously seasoned with the spirit of antiquity, European flavor and Slavic goodwill. But in addition to the spiritual atmosphere, the real atmosphere also takes on its own, so to speak, charm on New Year's Eve in Prague. Yes, the Czechs love to eat well (all tourists note the "invincible" portions in Prague restaurants), and before the holidays, right on the squares and streets of the city, out of nowhere, a ton of stalls appear, selling various sweets, baked goods, smoked meats and grilled delicacies, and of course, traditional mulled wine. All these aromas of culinary "bacchanalia" literally permeate the streets of Prague, exciting the stomach and brain of a hungry tourist.
Of course, New Year is a special holiday and many prefer to celebrate it at home with their families. And in the Czech Republic you want to…
No problem! You can celebrate New Year at home, and Christmas 2016 in Prague, fortunately, the holiday break allows it. And, dear friends, you shouldn't get hung up on Prague, because the Czech Republic has an incredible number of interesting places worth visiting. For example, the famous resort of Karlovy Vary, praised since the Middle Ages by European nobility, who loved to warm their bones in the legendary thermal springs. Wealthier tourists can even rent a real small castle for the holidays (or a large one - it all depends on the thickness of your wallet).
In general, the Czech Republic has everything you need to spend unforgettable New Year holidays, which may well become the best in your life!
