More than 100 countries around the world are waiting for you, and for this we offer the most profitable tours to the most beautiful places. Travel just got easier!

Traveling to Europe used to be an expensive pleasure, and given the new economic conditions, holidays in the main European capitals have become an almost inaccessible luxury.

Fortunately, in addition to expensive London, Paris and Rome, there are cheaper European cities, so there is still an opportunity to see Europe and not go broke, you just need to carefully plan your trip and choose a direction. To make it easier for you, we have compiled a list of 10 interesting and inexpensive cities in Europe, a weekend in which will not leave a hole in your budget.

1. Krakow

It is surprising that Krakow, one of the most beautiful and at the same time the cheapest cities in Europe, has not yet been appreciated by tourists. Krakow was the capital of Poland until the end of the 16th century, but even having lost this status, it always remained the main cultural and scientific center of the country. Fortunately, unlike Warsaw, during the Second World War, the city was practically not damaged, so many old buildings have been preserved here (there are thirty-nine churches alone), the medieval Jagiellonian University and the huge royal castle of the 13th century.

2. Budapest

Despite the fact that the popularity of the Hungarian capital has grown significantly in recent years, prices here are still relatively low. If you choose a hotel not in the very center and use public transport, then you can have views of the Danube and classical architecture, while remaining within a modest budget. Be sure to visit one of the famous thermal baths in Budapest, cross the river on the Chain Bridge and walk along the Buda Castle and the Fisherman's Bastion.

3. Lisbon

Even by European standards, there are a lot of attractions in Lisbon and its environs - castles, palaces and basilicas, and the decent cost of air travel to the Portuguese capital is more than offset by cheap hotels, restaurants and shops. If you plan to travel a lot around the city by public transport or use funiculars (including the famous Santa Justa city elevator), be sure to buy the Viva Viagem travel system, this will allow you to save even more money.

4. Prague

Prague has won the love of tourists from all over the world due to two factors: cheap Czech beer houses and a beautiful historical center. In terms of attractiveness and saturation with cultural monuments, Prague is hardly inferior to the main Western European capitals, and a trip here will cost you much less than in Paris or Amsterdam. The only negative is that there are a lot of tourists in Prague during the high season, so choose less popular months, since this city is beautiful at any time of the year.

5. Istanbul

One of the oldest cities in the world, Istanbul is considered a must-see for every history buff. Mosques, bazaars and amazing views of the Bosphorus will impress even the most experienced travelers. Today, Istanbul captivates not only with its rich cultural heritage, but also with low prices, which, alas, fall in inverse proportion to the level of security in the city.

6. Athens

Athens is an ideal city for a weekend - there are enough sights here for just two days of sightseeing in a calm mode. One full day should be allocated to study the Parthenon and the Acropolis, you will need at least half a day to visit the luxurious archaeological museum of Athens, and if you still have time, look into the Monastiraki area - see the mosque and wander around the market. Despite the fact that Athens is one of the most expensive cities on our list, by European standards it is still a very cheap place, especially if you go there out of season, but in late autumn or even winter.

7. Split

Split is a less touristy copy of Dubrovnik: the same red roofs, white walls and bay views. The city is much cheaper and is located in Dalmatia, which is famous for its excellent beaches, so you can combine a visit to Split with a beach holiday nearby. In Split, of course, there is no grandiose city wall, as in Dubrovnik, but there is an ancient Roman palace of Emperor Diocletian, which is considered the best preserved palace of the Roman era in the world.

8. Berlin

Despite the fact that Berlin is the capital of one of the richest countries in the Eurozone, prices here remain relatively low. Of course, compared to the cities of Eastern Europe, the cost of a night in hotels and hostels in Berlin is not so attractive, but due to the popularity of the destination and the large number of flights, tickets to Berlin can be bought quite inexpensively (especially if you take care of buying a few months before the trip).

9. Riga

If you haven't been to Riga yet, try to correct this unfortunate oversight as soon as possible - after switching to the euro, prices in this city are constantly rising. The historical center of Riga is quite consistent with the concept of a classic European city - open cafes, pretty squares surrounded by old buildings with tiled roofs, paved sidewalks. Well, the advantages of a holiday in Riga for Russians are obvious: geographical proximity and the absence of a language barrier.

10. Ljubljana

Gradually, from a place that no one can find on the map, Ljubljana is turning into one of the most popular cities in Europe. It has everything you need for a classic European weekend: a beautiful historical center, good restaurants, architectural monuments, including a large, well-preserved medieval castle. We strongly recommend that you visit the Slovenian capital before it starts to attract crowds of tourists and hotel prices have not jumped to the average European level.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. In this publication, I want to briefly talk about the most popular places, or rather about the countries where you can go vacation without a visa.

The list of visa-free countries for Russian citizens is up-to-date for 2016-2017 and is based on reliable information from the Consular Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry. So if you decide, for every fireman, to double-check the article below, you are welcome here.

There are about 67 of them (visa-free countries) in total. At the end of the article you will find a complete list of them, and now we will consider the 10 most popular of them among our compatriots.

Thailand. Visa-free stay up to 30 days

The first place could be given to Turkey or Egypt, if not for one BUT. And significant. In November 2015, the Turkish Air Force shot down a Russian military aircraft that allegedly violated its air border, after which tour operators were banned from selling tours to this country, and also suspended regular flights to Turkey from Russia. Now, a year and a half later, they have reopened, but the Russian tourist has not yet managed to return this country to the first place in popularity among tourist countries.

Egypt is in trouble. After the Russian civil aircraft A321 was shot down in the sky over Egypt, flights from Russia to this country ceased. At the moment, active checks are being carried out by special forces. services of both countries in terms of improving the security of Russian tourists.

Therefore, Thailand! You do not need a visa if your stay in this country is no more than 30 days. Some of the most popular cities in Thailand are Phuket, Koh Samui and Chiang Mai. Why didn't I specify the city of Pattaya? Most likely because recently the tourists who have returned from another trip are not flattering about it. They say: "..there is nothing to do, one small street with entertainment, and the beaches are far from clean." Therefore, if you want to please the eye, you can try to swim to the neighboring islands by ferry. You can also read about that - a rather interesting article with many photos about the trip.

I will add that at the beginning of 2017, interest in Turkey begins to gain momentum and tour operators, having caught this trend, begin to offer incredibly profitable ones. If we consider a ticket for the end of June, then you can fly for 14 days to a 5-star hotel with a family of 2 adults and 2 children over 2 years old for 100 tr. (all inclusive). By comparison, Bulgaria also offers tours for 195-250 tr on such conditions.

Israel

Israel. Visa-free stay up to 90 days

Israel is increasingly attracting tourists from Russia. Pilgrims are attracted by numerous biblical shrines, tourists who want to relax - numerous beaches, interesting sights. For the latter, three seas are available at once: the Dead, the Mediterranean and the Red. On the Dead Sea - mud baths, on the Mediterranean - waves, magnificent sunsets, on the red - a charming underwater world and magnificent sandy beaches

Vietnam

Vietnam. Visa-free stay up to 15 days

A country where you can have a great two weeks not only basking in the sun, lying on the beach, but also actively traveling to various attractions, of which there are a great many in Vietnam. An extensive hotel base will allow travelers to easily find places to stay for the night of various categories. Vietnam is ancient shrines, temple complexes of unknown civilizations, delicious and healthy food, one of the cheapest diving in the world.

Montenegro

Montenegro. Visa-free stay up to 30 days

Montenegro (Montenegro) is an exotic country with a mild climate and beautiful nature. It is in demand among lovers of budget holidays on the Adriatic Sea. To stay in this country, Russian citizens will need a confirmation of their place of residence, in fact an ordinary hotel reservation, at least for a day if you want to travel around this country and have not yet made a final itinerary. Popular among tourists are the island of Sveti Stefan, Becici and Budva. The climate in Montenegro is similar to the climate in Crimea.

Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic. Visa-free stay up to 30 days

The Dominican Republic is a paradise surrounded by the waves of the Caribbean Sea in the east of the island of Haiti. Endless beaches with white sand and gentle azure sea, coral reefs, palm trees and bright sun - that exotic, for which tourists tired of the daily routine go. Sights worthy of the attention of tourists - national parks and local architecture delight the eye. The resorts that are most popular among tourists are Punta Cana, Puerto Plata and La Romana. Deserves special attention. People from all over the world come here to dive into the underwater world.

Unfortunately, holidays in the Dominican Republic are far from being budgetary, due, at least, to the high cost of a round trip flight. Plus, a 14-hour flight from Moscow is far from pleasing to everyone.

Cuba

Cuba. Visa-free stay up to 30 days

Cuba is the Island of Freedom, a country friendly to Russia. Magnificent nature, delightful old towns, luxurious beaches, warm climate, fragrant cigars and delicious rum - a real Caribbean exotic. But again, for tourists with an income above average. Although despite the high cost, the influx of tourists increases all year round. From entertainment: diving, snorkeling, yachting and excellent fishing off the coast for marlin. Some of the most popular resorts are Havana, Holguin, Varadero, Guardalavaca, Playa Esmeralda and Coco and Largo Islands.

Cyprus

Cyprus. Conditionally visa-free regime

Cyprus is an island nation in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. For Russian tourists, a visa is issued upon arrival, or you can apply for a pro-visa online in advance. Unlike the climate in Turkey, Cyprus is not so humid. The climate is very mild, it is always warm here, the sea is clean, the beaches are sandy. Service in hotels is quite adequate, because the country is in the European Union. Prices are relatively low, although some may argue;).

You can see both local architecture and religious sites in Cyprus. If there is a desire to have fun, then you can go to the resort town of Ayia Napa.

Maldives

Maldives. Visa-free stay up to 30 days

The Maldives are picturesque places in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. One of the best exotic places. About 1000 islets (atolls) with blue lagoons, white sandy beaches and diverse vegetation. Entirely and completely is a resort area for a relaxing romantic getaway. A high level of service is the main advantage of these places. Most tourists like to relax on the beaches of the North and South Atolls. Ari Atoll is suitable for outdoor enthusiasts, Baa Atoll for peace and tranquility, and Lavian Atoll for those who want to admire the splendor of the ocean.

Malaysia

Malaysia. Visa-free stay up to 30 days

Malaysia boasts not only the magnificent beaches of Kalimantan, but also the unprecedented architecture of its capital, Kuala Lumpur. Virgin nature, clean beaches and excellent service are worth a look, especially since the cost of a tourist package to these places is not so exorbitant, compared to some members of this top ten. The flight for a tourist from Russia is long, this is a fact, but the fact that upon arrival he will be able to see it is beyond words. Luxurious hotels and excellent diving, combined with a varied and delicious gastronomy, will not leave anyone indifferent to this wonderful country.

Argentina

Argentina. Visa-free stay up to 90 days

Argentina is first of all bright and interesting impressions for any tourist. The birthplace of tango, real steaks. Here you can admire the beauty of the Andes, the huge glaciers, the Iguazu Falls, wander through various museums and look at the silver mines. Of the minuses - a long flight, and of course its cost. On average, for a week per person, a ticket will be about 70 tr (including flights, accommodation and breakfast at the hotel). For those who have never been to this colorful and rich in its sights country, I recommend it.

Very soon summer will come to Russia and many of our compatriots will face the question of a trip to the sea. After all, after a long winter, you really want to plunge into the warm waves and completely forget about problems and worries. But most Russians are embarrassed by traveling to countries where they have to apply for a visa. This process sometimes becomes quite costly and long, especially for those who live in remote areas of our country. Therefore, cheap tours to countries with a visa-free regime for Russian citizens are in great demand.

Benefits of a visa-free holiday

A trip to the sea abroad without a visa gives travelers a lot of advantages. Keep in mind that spontaneous travel to the southern shores is possible only in visa-free countries. That is, if you suddenly have a couple of free days, and you want to spend them on the coast, then only tours without a visa will be available to you.

Keep in mind that obtaining a visa will require additional costs, and before a vacation, such expenses are highly undesirable for any family. Therefore, tours without a visa are always much cheaper than those that include the collection and sending of documents.

Thanks to countries that do not require a visa for Russians, travelers can even visit several countries in one trip. Our compatriots quite often use this, trying to see as much as possible and get the most impressions from a vacation at sea.

If you prefer independent trips, rather than traveling as part of a tourist group, then the question of where to go without a visa to the sea should be key for you. All tour operators know that visa centers are much more willing to issue visas to organized tourists, and independent travelers may be denied entry to a particular country. Especially often this practice is followed by the British and Americans. It is also quite difficult to get it issued only subject to many rules.

Based on the foregoing, it is not surprising that our compatriots prefer holidays that do not require a visa. Let's find out where to go without a visa to the sea.

Countries where Russians will not require a visa

Success is almost 80% dependent on the choice of country. And only 20% of success falls on the hotel and the mood of the vacationers themselves. If you are interested in where to go without a visa to the sea, then our list will be very useful to you:

• Montenegro;
• Türkiye;
• Vietnam;
• Thailand;
• Dominican Republic;
• Israel;
• Maldives;
• Morocco.

An impressive list, isn't it? In these countries, almost every Russian can relax, and a variety of options will make it possible not only to go to the first country that comes across, but to carefully choose the right resort. Moreover, we have included far from all countries in our list. In fact, there are more than fifty of them, but we decided to consider only the most popular and sought-after destinations among our compatriots.

Montenegro: features of recreation for Russians

If you dream of a sea coast that does not require a visa, then consider Montenegro. It has a lot of advantages over the already developed tourist routes and, moreover, it belongs to fairly budgetary countries, which is important in the context of the ongoing economic crisis around the world.

Many travel agencies in Moscow and other Russian cities offer cheap tours to Montenegro for seven or ten days. Usually their cost varies between twenty to forty thousand rubles. It is also quite easy for independent travelers to get to the resorts of Montenegro - regular flights depart from many cities to Tivat and Podgorica. The cost of round-trip tickets starts from ten thousand rubles. Absolutely everyone can rent housing in Montenegro, besides, the prices for rooms in hotels and hostels will please Russians who save their budget. For example, a room in a good hotel in Tivat costs from 15 euros. Of course, you can stay in the most luxurious hotels in the country, but in this case, be prepared to pay from fifty euros per day.

Russians can stay in Montenegro without a visa for thirty days, you only need a passport and medical insurance. Please note that the last item is not mandatory, but will greatly facilitate your stay in the country. Keep in mind that you must be registered with a special department for working with foreigners. If you plan to stay in a hotel or hostel, then for one euro this will be done by the staff at the reception. But those who will live in rented apartments will have to do it on their own. Otherwise, when leaving Montenegro, you will face a very large fine (at least two hundred euros).

Türkiye: the most favorite destination for Russian tourists

We will not describe the delights of a holiday in the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea in Turkey. Every Russian has experienced all the advantages of these well-known resorts at least once in his life. Many of our compatriots have been coming here for several years in order to recharge the energy of this hospitable country for a whole year.

According to Russian tour operators in 2017, due to the resumption of flights to Turkey, a real hype is expected in this direction. Already, early booking is breaking all records, and in the future, travel agents hope to sell a large number of "burning" tours.

According to the agreement between Russia and Turkey, citizens of our country can stay on the territory of the Turkish state for no more than 90 days. In the customs control zone, travelers receive a stamped visa free of charge. Moreover, you can enter the country several times in six months. The main thing is that the total number of days does not exceed ninety.

Vietnam: rest in hospitable Asia

Hospitable Vietnam has long gained popularity among Russians. Therefore, if you are thinking about where to go without a visa to the sea, then be sure to pay attention to this Asian country. In recent years, quite warm relations have been established between Vietnam and Russia, which have made the visa policy extremely flexible.

For a tourist trip, our compatriots do not need to apply for a visa, they can stay in Vietnam for fifteen days. This is quite enough to get to know the country and spend time on the luxurious beaches of the South China Sea.

If you plan to live in Vietnam for a longer time, then consider applying for a visa. But usually this process is not of interest to tourists who come only for the sea and the sun.

Thailand: the most affordable vacation for Russians

Holidays in Thailand have long been budgetary, a ticket for a week can be purchased for only fifteen to twenty thousand rubles. And you can relax in this country almost all year round. Of course, it should be borne in mind that rains come to Thailand from April to August, but they do not prevent tourists from enjoying the warm sea at all. The fact is that they are usually short-lived, and then sunny and hot weather is restored.

The high season in the kingdom starts from November and lasts until April, during this period the most tourists come to the resorts of Thailand. Russians can stay in the country for thirty days; upon entering the kingdom, they must show return tickets. The absence of a paid flight to any other country may serve as a basis for denial of entry into Thailand.

Our compatriots, who are ready to spend more than one month in the land of smiles, use a visa-run. This loophole in Thai law is exploited by many Russians. In order to be able to rest in Thailand for another month, they travel outside of it and immediately return back. You can do this procedure no more than three times.

Beach holidays in the Dominican Republic

What is Dominican Republic? Oh, it's just a great vacation on white sand beaches under rustling palm trees. It is simply impossible to forget a few weeks spent in this hospitable country. Therefore, it is worth thinking about organizing a holiday in the Dominican Republic, especially since Russians do not need a visa to this country.

To enter our compatriots, you will need a passport and a tourist voucher, which can be purchased for ten dollars right in the customs control zone. This document will allow tourists to rest in the Dominican Republic for thirty days. In the future, when applying to the migration service of the country, this period can be extended up to three months. The cost of such a service does not exceed twenty dollars.

Dead Sea resorts: holidays for Russians

Israel is a special country that attracts Russians with incredible historical monuments and the opportunity to improve their health. It is worth noting that Russia ranks second in the world in terms of the number of tourists going on vacation to Israel. Our compatriots are only ahead of the inhabitants of the United States, they most often choose the Promised Land as a place of rest.

The rules for entering Israel for Russians are quite simple. They include the following items:

• a passport with a validity period of six months;
• medical insurance;
• tickets and hotel reservations;
• documents confirming solvency.

In the event that all documents are in order, the Russians will receive a free stamp in their passport, allowing them to stay in Israel for ninety days. Keep in mind that the visa-free regime only applies to trips that are not related to making a profit. Otherwise, you will need a visa.

Visa to the Maldives for Russians: is there such a need?

Of course, the Maldives is far from a budget holiday, but it's worth it. The island nation is characterized by incredible natural beauty, and the sea in the Maldives is difficult to describe in words, it is often called the "fantastic world". Our compatriots who prefer a beach holiday with standard entertainment in the form of diving and snorkeling have long appreciated the hospitality of this distant island nation. Millions of tourists from all over the world visit the Maldives every year, and the percentage of Russians among them is steadily increasing.

In order for our compatriot to get to heaven, it is not necessary to receive. Russians can stay in the Maldives for thirty days by purchasing a tourist voucher for ten dollars in the customs control zone. Do not forget that to enter the country you will still need medical insurance and a document confirming solvency (at least one hundred dollars should fall per day).

Travel to Morocco without a visa

Morocco is a rather exotic route for our compatriots. But every year the interest in this country increases, especially since it is actively developing in the field of tourism. The beaches of Morocco are located on the shores of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea, they are distinguished by wide strips of white sand, which looks perfectly clean.

It is worth noting that the best beaches are located on the Atlantic coast, but the water in the ocean can surprise you with coolness even in forty-degree heat. The shores of the Mediterranean Sea are more hospitable, but the terrain itself is not conducive to rest - there are many cliffs and slopes.

Not needed, our compatriots can rest here for up to three months. Usually, in order to enjoy the sea and local attractions, two weeks are enough for tourists.

Of course, everyone wants to relax by the sea, but not everyone can afford a luxurious hotel and the most expensive restaurants. What to do in this case? Just take your vacation more responsibly and calculate everything in advance, and our tips will help you save a little on your travel budget:

• try not to be tempted by week-long seaside tours - in fact, they are much more expensive than longer trips;
• try to plan your trip on your own - feel free to communicate with hotel representatives (fortunately now there are electronic translators everywhere), buy tickets yourself and choose non-group excursions;
• living in an apartment is an option that will significantly save on rent, because hotels always cost at least twice as much;
• if you live in a rented apartment, you will save on breakfast and dinner - you can cook them yourself;
• in Asian countries it is very profitable to rent a motorbike and travel around all the sights on your own;
• plan your vacation for the low season - at this time the prices for tours are reduced several times;
• buy all products in the markets where local residents buy - the prices in such outlets will pleasantly surprise you.

Holidays at sea do not have to turn into a difficult journey with a lot of paperwork and spending large sums of money. In the modern world, almost every person can afford to soak up the sea coast if he is ready to get acquainted with this vast and beautiful world.
