As for the preferences for my readers, I certainly recommend spending your vacation on Lake Baikal! In winter, this lake will shock you not only with its Siberian nature, but such an original vacation will be remembered for a lifetime.
Now I will tell you more about the destinations for the rest of Russians, and you decide where to go there.
Where to relax on New Year's Eve in Russia?
If you decide to really spend your holidays in an original way, then Lake Baikal is exactly the place where you can plunge not only into the snow on January 1, running out of the bath naked, but also go for a ride in the Sobolinaya Mountain ski resort, I think you will really like the descent from the mountain, from which a gorgeous view of Baikal opens. Already now they visit my site in search of information on the choice of snowboards and alpine skis, this year will be active in terms of sports recreation.
Who rests on Lake Baikal on New Year's holidays? Yes, almost all the eastern cities of Russia! We will especially wait for Chita, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk and others, they already know what skiing on Sable Mountain is, and many come here every year after major European ski resorts in Europe, citing the fact that nowhere else is there such a beautiful nature and so much snow.
So, we solved the issue with Baikal, I hope I hooked you with this proposal. Let's go further and see what attracts tourists to the cities of Russia for the New Year celebrations?
Well, first of all, Moscow, 80 percent of Russians come here to celebrate and drink their glass of champagne on Red Square to the chimes.
The cost of plane tickets to Moscow from Novosibirsk will cost you only 14,600 round-trip, to fly to St. Petersburg from the same city will cost about 18,400 rubles as of December 31, all air ticket prices can be found in more detail on the cheap flights search page on my website.
As for St. Petersburg, the majority of Russians, wondering about recreation, choose this particular city for the simple reason that all New Year's holidays can be spent from the Hermitage to theaters, personally, I am already seriously thinking about visiting the cultural capital of Russia, but I have not yet decided, not I can be torn between the Kemerovo region and St. Petersburg, as well as collecting information for my blog.
I can't visit Kemerovo which winter, I want to finally see Sheregesh with my own eyes and try my board there. Sochi is another place for a perfect holiday near the mountains and beautiful nature, and you can also do winter sports.
Orders for hotels and hotels have been accepted here since September. If you live in the European part of Russia, then self-booking of hotels and plane tickets will help you inexpensively to go on holiday for the New Year in Sochi, and the earlier you do this, the more you save.
As for the eastern and Siberian sides of Russia, for the holidays there are completely different preferences, about which a little below. Karelia and Veliky Ustyug, two directions that are almost fully booked, if you decide to celebrate holidays here, then you have a small chance to get here yet, hurry up.
Veliky Ustyug will be an excellent family place for both parents and children, who can see the real Santa Claus in their apartments.
A package tour for a family of three for 10 days with meals will cost about 55,000 rubles, but if you want to save money, then after January 3 the price for tours will drop to 40 percent, and the trip will cost you about 44,000 rubles.

The new destinations this year include the Philippines and Cambodia, where tours for the New Year are already being massively issued.
As for the traditional destinations to Vietnam and Thailand, I will tell you more about them.

Inexpensive destinations in winter
There are many things that can be attributed to the number of cities and countries where it is inexpensive to spend New Year's holidays, it all depends on your wallet and the desire to get somewhere far away, from worries and other city bustle.
Each city where you live has its own directions, personally, every time I celebrate New Year's holidays at my favorite ski resort overlooking the shore of Lake Baikal, you have already seen my photos a little higher.
Half of the tourists from my city always and consistently leave for the holidays in Thailand every time. As for Moscow and other cities in the European part of the country, there are serious wages and, accordingly, high demands, such tourists are perfect for ski resorts in Europe or just walks in European cities, which I listed a little higher.
As for extreme tourism, now my friends are going to spend holidays on Elbrus, and many are going to conquer the mountains in Kamchatka, I would love to visit these places, but unfortunately my wallet will not let me in.
Each tourist has separate thoughts on this score, which can be much more original, so we do not sit still and embody all ideas into reality, there is not much time left!
I hope this holiday vacation will be remembered for a lifetime, no matter where you are, on the beaches under the scorching sun or on skis that cut through the snow, the main thing is that questions about finding the best deals are quickly resolved, and the desire to spend a vacation with every minute of waiting for the holiday is only increased!
