The premium restaurant of Russian cuisine from Ginza Project has prepared a journey through time on New Year's Eve: the New Year is celebrated here in the style of pre-revolutionary Russia. True, not without kitsch: Father Frost and the Snow Maiden are announced in the program, although you and I know that the canonical New Year's image of these characters was formed already in Soviet times, at the end of the thirties of the XX century. Let's write off their appearance in the "Tsar" for fashion. In addition to this couple, a tenor and a ballerina, gypsies and Cossacks, a costume show and songs from films are announced. A mixture of styles and eras can also be seen in the menu of New Year's Eve: marinated pike perch, Guryev pancakes, brook trout and crab with pike caviar are worthy of the royal table, but salmon tartare with avocado mousse looks like an alien, however, charming and by no means ruining the holiday.

An amazing observation: if you want to celebrate the New Year on the same scale as in Europe, then Europe, a restaurant located in the grand hotel of the same name, is perfect for this. The Belmond chain is always trying to show the guests of its hotels a piece of the history of the country where they ended up - even in Myanmar, even in Machu Picchu. Petersburg, of course, is no exception: "Europe" is located in a building designed by Karl Ivanovich Rossi back in the 30s of the XIX century, and in 1875 the first hotel in Russia was opened at this address. It is not surprising that here - especially on New Year's Eve - they honor Russian traditions and, at the same time, approach everything that happens with a European scale. It will be possible to celebrate the year 2018 in the Europe restaurant to the accompaniment of the musical show The Nose, staged based on Gogol’s story, and as a gastronomic part of the holiday, guests will be offered a set of five courses with wine accompaniment.

Do you know the situation when all the big relatives are going to celebrate the New Year together? At first glance, the solution is clear - a family holiday at home. After all, a grandmother with her arthritis will not agree to go to the city Christmas tree, and the children have a regimen.
Big family celebrates the holiday
We offer to celebrate the New Year with children, grandparents in the country. Have a real winter picnic under the starry sky. Let the men do the barbecue and meat, the women do quick snacks, and the children decorate the trees in the garden with tinsel and homemade toys. Instruct the caring grandmother to provide everyone with hot herbal tea from a thermos and blankets.
Imagine how interesting it is to play snowballs with the whole family or dance in felt boots around the fire. At any time, you can move to a country house, where you can continue the celebration in the warmth.
In a large family, no one has a dacha - it does not matter. Today you can rent a cottage or a house in the village. Alternatively, go to a recreation center. Here you will find an interesting entertainment program at night and a variety of options for outdoor activities during the holidays.
Mom, dad and me - New Year with children
Has there been a new addition to your family recently? Congratulations. Don't sigh sadly when you turn down a trip to a ski resort with your best friend or a stylized party hosted by your wife's friend. There are many options where to celebrate the New Year 2018 with a child. True, the final choice of the place of celebration depends on the age of the baby.
Even with a newborn baby, you can celebrate outside the box. Who said that you need to celebrate the New Year at night? Go for a family day out to the nearest park or recreation area. Fresh air, hot tea for mom and mulled wine for dad, a sleeping baby in a stroller snoring softly - what could be more beautiful. You can sit in a cozy suburban cafe and enjoy hot pastries, or visit relatives and friends for a short time to wish them a Happy New Year.
The child is 1-2 years old and you are firmly convinced that the New Year does not cancel the regime - invite your wife's friends to a pajama party. But what about dad, will he really guess and gossip with girls about fashion trends? Give your husband freedom of choice. Let him rest with friends or go to his beloved mother for the New Year.
With preschoolers, you can safely go for a night walk. Lots of options. Visit the main Christmas tree of the city - children will be happy to take part in round dances, and will be delighted to watch fireworks soaring up and scattering sparks. If you don't like noisy places, go to the park. Many park areas are prepared to receive overnight guests. Here you will find not only ennobled places, but also cozy quiet corners, walking paths.
There are school-age children in the family - you can plan a trip for the New Year. It will be interesting for the child to visit the homeland of New Year's heroes. Visiting Santa Claus is worth a trip to Finland. And in Novy Ustyug, Santa Claus and his retinue are waiting for you.
Friendly company
There is a New Year's Eve meeting with friends, and it's hard to decide where to go to celebrate? In this case, the main thing is to make a decision collectively. To make it fun and interesting for all your friends, you need to discuss the idea with everyone. And there are plenty to choose from:
- Restaurant or night club. It will obviously not be boring here, since such establishments are preparing an extended entertainment or thematic program. Don't forget to pick up.
- In a rented apartment. There is no need to cast lots on who to gather for the New Year or think about who will clean up the aftermath of the banquet. It's all a bargain here: the preparation of the script, and the costs, and the preparation of treats.
- In the woods. Far from civilization, you can have a great time: decorate a Christmas tree, cook a barbecue on a fire. There is nothing that there is no cozy warm house nearby - hot mulled wine and cheerful dances around the fire will warm you.
Any idea is suitable for a friendly company: a holiday on the square or in the park, at home or in the country, in a rented cottage or on a skating rink. After all, good friends in any place will find a way to make communication pleasant and the holiday fun.
Celebrate the New Year together
When it comes to a couple in love, the first thing that comes to mind is a romantic New Year's Eve dinner for two. Moreover, it can be arranged both at home and in a restaurant. But there are many more options for celebrating the New Year together.
Wander around the city at night. Quiet streets and lanes are especially beautiful on New Year's Eve.
Do not like solitude - go to visit. Put on the costumes of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden, take inexpensive souvenirs and go. During the night you can visit many relatives and friends. Prepare cool New Year greetings or funny contests. Do not stay away for a long time - a couple of toasts, a few cool photos will be enough.
Sports couples will enjoy an active holiday. Why not try your hand at hiking? Or celebrate the New Year at a ski resort, where you can go not only skiing, but also snowboarding.
Are you still those adventurers, and a boring New Year under the Christmas tree is not your option? Traveling by car is ideal. You can spend every night of the New Year holidays in a new city. Just work out the route in advance and book hotel rooms.
If you love adventure, consider celebrating New Year's Eve in the desert. You will be accompanied by Bedouins and camels.
Still, we decided on a romantic New Year together - buy a tour to exotic islands. Here you will find white sand, exciting sea and complete privacy. If you wish, you can join the local celebration and celebrate the New Year twice.
budget holiday
A limited budget is not a reason not to leave the house on New Year's Eve or completely abandon the fun. Believe me, you can celebrate an unusual holiday without material investments or at minimal cost.
Any public place, whether it is the courtyard of your own house or a town square, a skating rink or a park, can be visited absolutely free of charge. Go outside before the chiming clock and celebrate the New Year in the open air.
Many people know the option of holding holidays on the roof. But few people dare to try this way of leisure. New Year's Eve is a good excuse to spend the night on the roof. A warm blanket, hot tea or mulled wine in a thermos and a festive city at your feet are great attributes for an inexpensive holiday.
Or arrange a joint New Year with friends. You can get together with families, couples or just a large group. Divide the responsibilities and costs among all participants of the Sabantuy. To do this, you will have to carefully think through everything to the smallest detail: the menu, gifts for contests, drinks. It is easy to reduce costs by refusing a magnificent feast. Why waste time and money on the usual salads, if you can get by with champagne, light snacks and devote the holiday to fun games and entertainment. And gifts can be easily made with your own hands from improvised materials.
But in the concept of "save" everyone puts his own meaning. Therefore, for many, the question is more relevant, where it is inexpensive to celebrate the New Year in Russia and abroad, how to reduce the cost of New Year's tours.
In Russia
According to statistics, many, choosing new year tour prefer to travel abroad. The desire to get acquainted with foreign traditions or visit unfamiliar places for a holiday is so strong that more affordable options are not even considered.
But in your native country there are many amazing places where you can celebrate the New Year no less interesting than in Europe.
Hundreds of thousands of tourists come to Moscow for the holidays. The dream of the majority is to visit Red Square and witness the chimes. A holiday on the main square of the country is an unforgettable sight, but limited by special rules related to security. The capital has many interesting places where tourists and guests of the city are waiting. These are parks and VDNH, restaurants and fairs, ice slides and exhibitions of ice figures.
Winter holidays can be fun to spend in St. Petersburg, where the celebrations are especially large. You will not be bored - every day you can visit new places. Particularly interesting are the balls that are held in the royal palaces.
Lovers of virgin nature are waiting for the settlements and forests of Karelia, Altai or Baikal. Here you can find options for every taste and budget. Comfortable hotels with festive programs for connoisseurs of comfort. Or tourist bases for those wishing to spend a holiday in nature. And even hunting lodges for those who prefer to spend their time unusually in the arms of the wild.
The south of Russia is especially attractive. Absence warm sea and the sultry sun in January does not interfere with celebrating the New Year in an unusual way. Outdoor enthusiasts are welcome ski slopes of any complexity and hiking mountain routes, comfortable ski lifts and extreme entertainment.
The hotels have already prepared festive programs and cozy rooms, in the spa salons there are procedures for every taste. The heady sea air invites you to take a walk along the coastal alleys or sit on the terrace of an open-air cafe.
New Year is associated exclusively with snow and frost - go to the Russian north. Consider visiting the Arctic. Real miracles await you on the Kola Peninsula. Snowmobile trips and quad bike safaris, dog sled races and the Northern Lights - this New Year's Eve will never be forgotten.
Abroad
On holidays, decorated Europe and the sparkling lights of the East, hot exotic islands and elegant hotels in Egypt and Turkey open their doors to tourists.
There are many options from exclusive to almost junk. Therefore, you will first have to decide on the format of the trip: will you purchase a ready-made tour or stop on an independent trip.
In any case, it is better to take care of booking tours, tickets, hotel rooms in advance. Those who plan their New Year's vacation 3 months in advance will be able to save up to half the cost.
The last minute option is a huge risk. If you decide to wait until the last moment for a “hot” offer, worry about an alternative vacation option. Suddenly there will be no suitable vouchers and you will have to figure out at the last moment where to celebrate the New Year.
An important factor when choosing a destination is what you expect from the rest.
If the trip is devoted to shopping, it is better to visit Europe. Here, in addition to huge New Year's discounts, tourists are waiting for fairs, clubs and restaurants. Keep in mind that in most European countries, the influx of tourists and the peak of interesting events falls on Christmas, which is celebrated here on December 25th. Therefore, it is better to plan your trip before this date. The goal is to save money - come to Europe on January 1, 2.
Gastro-tourism is a priority - you will like it in the Caucasus, Italy, France, Asian countries. Have fun with new tastes and join the local customs.
Fans of the warm sea are better off visiting the Maldives, Goa or Egypt. Vietnam and Thailand have become a new fashion trend. Colorful ceremonies, fireworks, noisy companies and relatively cheap accommodation - what else do you need for a merry New Year in the warmth.
You liked all the options - leave a message and save the information. After all, these ideas can be used not only in 2018.
Larisa , December 8, 2017 .No matter how much time remains before the New Year and Christmas holidays, you need to plan your vacation and book accommodation now. We look where to go for the New Year inexpensively and where you can have a good time.
Saint Petersburg
Why you should go: New Year in St. Petersburg is celebrated on a grand scale. Such lights, fireworks and laser shows cannot be found in the province. Nevsky Prospekt becomes pedestrian, New Year's fairs work, and Palace Square flashes so brightly, as if another revolution has begun there.
How is the weather: during the winter holidays there may be a slight frost down to -10 ° C, or it may be near zero. In any case, it is better to warm up to protect yourself from the winds from the Gulf of Finland.
Things to do: watch daily light shows on Dvortsovaya, relax on Nevsky and marvel at the variety of lights, visit museums that offer discounts for children and walk around other iconic places in St. Petersburg.
Moscow

What's up with the weather: in late December - early January, it is quite comfortable in the capital: a slight minus during the day, and a little colder at night. Sometimes there are thaws with rain.
How to have fun: first of all, go to Red Square and feel yourself in the center of national celebrations, having a ride on the skating rink along the way and shopping at the fair. Folk festivities are also held in other places: Gorky Park, VDNKh, Poklonnaya Gora. Performances are staged for children on Pushkin Square and Tsvetnoy Boulevard. If you get tired of the noise, you can go to one of the many Moscow parks.
Sochi
Why you should go: here you can relax, enjoying the fresh air and relative warmth, and if you wish, go skiing in Krasnaya Polyana.
Holiday weather: in Sochi it is warm and humid, because the sea is nearby, which does not cool down so quickly, and the mountains that prevent the winds. During the day on the coast about +5 ... +10 °С, in Krasnaya Polyana from +2 °С to -5 °С.
Things to do: the main action takes place in the port, on the square of the South Pier. Fireworks rise into the sky no worse than those at the Olympics. And walking through city parks and streets, you can understand that Christmas trees between palm trees and cypresses are magnificent. If you are celebrating the New Year with children, go to Sochi Park, which is modestly called the local Disneyland.
Kazan
Why you need to go: to see how Russian and Tatar traditions merge into one - New Year's.
What's the weather like: winters in the Volga region can be uneven, but on New Year's days there are usually no surprises, and the temperature stays around -5 ... -10 ° С.
Things to do: go to the main Christmas tree of the city in the Millennium Park, where you can also ride a skating rink and buy souvenirs. Near the puppet theater "Eriyat" there is an ice town. Of course, it is worth taking a walk along the Bauman pedestrian street and the Kremlin, which is incredibly beautifully illuminated.
Veliky Ustyug
Why go: look into the residence of the main Santa Claus of the country, which was built legally, so no one filmed it from drones.
