Beautiful countries for holidays. Which country to choose or where is the best place to relax?
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 relax without a visa.
List visa-free countries for Russian citizens is relevant for 2016-2017 and is based on reliable information from the Consular Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry. So if you decide, just in case you are a fireman, to double-check the article below, you are welcome to go here.
There are about 67 of them (visa-free countries). At the end of the article you will find a complete list of them, but now let’s look at the 10 most popular of them among our compatriots.
Thailand. Visa-free stay up to 30 days
First place could have been given to Turkey or Egypt, if not for one BUT. And it’s 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, it has been reopened, but Russian tourists have not yet managed to return this country to first place in popularity among tourist countries.
There is the same problem with Egypt. After the Russian civil aircraft A321 was shot down in the skies over Egypt, flights from Russia to this country ceased. IN this moment active checks are being carried out by special services of both countries in terms of improving the safety of Russian tourists.
Therefore - Thailand! You will 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 indicate the city of Pattaya? Most likely because recently tourists returning from their next trip have not spoken favorably about it. They say: “..there is nothing to do there, just a small street with entertainment, and the beaches are far from clean.” Therefore, if you want to please the eye, you can try sailing to the neighboring islands by ferry. You can also read about this - quite an interesting article with many photos about the trip.
I’ll add that at the beginning of 2017, interest in Turkey is beginning to gain momentum and tour operators, catching this trend, are beginning to offer incredibly profitable deals. If we consider a trip to 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 rubles. (all inclusive). By comparison, Bulgaria also offers tours under such conditions for 195-250 rubles.
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 are attracted by numerous beaches and interesting sights. For the latter, there are three seas at once: the Dead, the Mediterranean and the Red. The Dead Sea has mud baths, the Mediterranean has waves, magnificent sunsets, the Red Sea has charming undersea world and magnificent sandy beaches
Vietnam
Vietnam. Visa-free stay up to 15 days
A country where you can spend 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 in a wide variety of categories. Vietnam is ancient shrines, temple complexes 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. She is in demand among amateurs budget holiday on the Adriatic Sea. To stay in this country, Russian citizens will need proof of place of residence, essentially an ordinary hotel reservation, at least for a day, if you want to travel around this country and have not yet drawn up a final itinerary. The islands of Sveti Stefan, Becici and Budva are popular among tourists. The climate in Montenegro is similar to the climate in Crimea.
Dominican Republic
Dominican Republic. Visa-free stay up to 30 days Dominican Republic is a paradise surrounded by waves Caribbean Sea in the east of the island of Haiti. Endless beaches with white sand and a gentle azure sea, coral reefs, palm trees and bright sunshine are the exotic things that tourists tired of the daily routine come for. Worthy of attention tourist attractions - National parks and local architecture are pleasing to the eye. Resorts that are most popular among tourists are Punta Cana, Puerto Plata and La Romana. It deserves special attention. People from all over the world come here to dive into the underwater world.
Unfortunately, rest in Dominican Republic Far from being budget-friendly, due at least to the high cost of a round trip flight. Plus, the 14-hour flight from Moscow doesn’t make everyone happy.
Cuba
Cuba. Visa-free stay up to 30 days
Cuba is the Island of Freedom, a country friendly to Russia. Magnificent nature, delightful old cities, luxurious beaches, warm climate, fragrant cigars and delicious rum - true Caribbean exoticism. But again, for tourists with above-average income. Although, despite the high cost, the influx of tourists increases all year round. Entertainment: diving, snorkeling, yachting and excellent fishing off the coast for marlin. Some of the most popular resorts- Havana, Holguin, Varadero, Guardalavaca, Playa Esmeralda and the islands of Coco and Largo.
Cyprus
Cyprus. Conditionally visa-free regime Cyprus - Island state in the eastern part 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, since the country is located in the European Union. The prices are relatively low, although some may argue ;).
In Cyprus you can see both local architecture and religious sites. If you want to have fun, you can go to resort town Ayia Napa.
Maldives
Maldives. Visa-free stay up to 30 days Maldives - scenic spots in warm waters Indian Ocean. One of the best exotic places. About 1000 islets (atolls) with blue lagoons, white sandy beaches and varied vegetation. It is entirely a resort area for a relaxing romantic getaway. A high level of service is the main advantage of these places. Most of all, tourists like to relax on the beaches of the North and South Atolls. For lovers active rest Ari Atoll is suitable, for peace and tranquility - Baa, for those who want to admire the splendor of the ocean, Lavian Atoll is suitable.
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 the cost tourist package to these places is not so exorbitant, compared to some of the participants in this hot ten. The flight for a tourist from Russia is long, this is a fact, but what he will be able to see upon arrival is beyond words. Luxurious hotels and excellent diving combined with varied and very tasty gastronomy will not leave anyone indifferent to this wonderful country.
Argentina
Argentina. Visa-free stay up to 90 days Argentina is, first of all, a bright and interesting experience for any tourist. The birthplace of tango, real steaks. Here you can admire the beauty of the Andes, huge glaciers, Iguazu Falls, wander through various museums and look at silver mines. The downside is the long flight, and of course the cost. On average, a trip for a week per person will be about 70 thousand rubles (including flights, accommodation and breakfast at the hotel). I recommend it to those who have never been to this colorful country rich in attractions.
Every person, when planning their vacation, first of all thinks about the financial side of the issue. Most of us want to lie on the beach, see local attractions, and gastronomic interest is a significant factor. You also just need to bring a bunch of souvenirs to friends and family. How can we ensure that the costs are minimal and the impressions are maximized? The colorful signs of travel agencies tell us that Turkey and Egypt are the most budget travel options, but is this true? Let's try to figure it out...
A small and very important tip: to save money, you can plan your trip yourself, bypassing the services of tour operators. That is, book tickets, think over the route, rent accommodation...
So, the ranking of countries:
10 Greece
It is best to fly to this country in April or in the second half of September. Prices during this period are slightly lower, but the quality of relaxation does not suffer. A double room in a mid-range hotel will cost approximately 30 euros. Housing costs for a week will be about 100-120 euros if you stay in a family boarding house - this is the most budget option. Flight is about 120 euros. You can try to use by charter flight, but it's risky. Schengen visa, cost 35 euros. If you don’t buy food on the beach and near it, but move 800 meters from the sea, then lunch will cost you about 8 euros per person. In Greece, in addition to beach holidays, there are a huge number of ancient monuments, historically significant ruins and ancient monasteries. Great choice for family vacation.
9 Argentina
Due to the currency exchange policy and the “black” market, Argentina has become a paradise for travelers, as the dollar in this country is currently valued 70% higher than the official exchange rate. Some airlines carry out promotions with enviable regularity, reducing the price of a Moscow-Buenos Aires flight and back to $700-800. A visa is not needed if you intend to stay in the country for no more than 90 days. The cost of housing in a middle-class hotel can be $40-50, on the outskirts $30. Many people advise renting housing on the outskirts, but long trips to attractions on public transport get tired quickly. By the way, public transport in Argentina is subsidized by the state, so fares are cheap. Based on this, taxi prices are also at a very low level, so you can afford to travel this way. There is a lot to see in and around Buenos Aires: waterfalls, glaciers, parks and flea markets, fairs and street dancing. I don’t recommend buying very promoted tours, because... prices are set in dollars, but if you do not resort to the services of guides, you can save a lot.
8 Sri Lanka
To save significantly, choose a holiday period from May to October. Although this time is considered the rainy season, sometimes there are good days, and housing prices are significantly different from January. For the flight, it is better to use the services of low-cost airlines; the conditions are worse than those of regular airlines, but this way you can save a lot. An ETA visa, which costs $30-35, depending on the method. You can rent housing from locals, but complete unsanitary conditions await you there, and it is also unsafe, meaning you will have to take all valuables with you. The most convenient and reliable option is hostels and mini-hotels along the coast, costing about $30-40. It is preferable to buy excursions from beach boys, but for safety reasons, you should not pay the entire amount at once. You can explore many attractions on your own, after asking local residents about everything. Food in Sri Lanka is cheap, the average bill in a regular cafe is $3-4 per person. An abundance of seafood and the freshest fruits, a beautiful beach and endless ocean, exotic nature and the color of local residents attract more and more tourists there.
7 Bulgaria
This is a favorite place of our compatriots. Choose better little-known resorts, located south of Burgas. Prices there are 2 times lower than, for example, in Albena. During the season, a double room with sea view will cost you 25 euros. Dinner per person in the hotel restaurant will cost about 7 euros. There are three ways to get there: bus 75 euros, train 200 euros and plane 400 euros. This is on average, but sometimes airlines run promotions. You shouldn't pay exorbitant amounts of money for a hotel room on the first coastline, because All beaches in Bulgaria are municipal, that is, by choosing any hotel, you will get to the best beach if you wish. It is also better to arrange excursions on your own. Schengen visa, cost 35 euros.
6 Honduras
If you want to see the ruins of the Mayan civilization, rainforests, almost untouched sandy beaches and walks through the mountains and jungles, then you are in Honduras. The approximate cost of the flight is 900 dollars. Rent a mid-level room for $40-60 (depending on the distance to the ocean). The average bill in a cafe is $5. A visa is not needed if you plan to stay in the country for no more than 90 days.
5 Hungary
A huge number of attractions and rich cultural heritage attract tourists to this country. You need a Schengen visa, the procedure for obtaining which is a little complicated by additional questionnaire. An undoubted advantage for our tourists is the distance, about 1600 km. The flight will cost about 300 dollars, during promotional periods 150. A direct train from Moscow to Budapest is around 15,000 rubles. During the season, the cost of fruit in Hungary is lower than in Russia, and in general, food prices are the lowest in Europe, which is a definite plus. Renting a room in a three-star hotel will cost approximately $60 per day. A huge advantage of a tour to Hungary is the opportunity to purchase a combined tour of neighboring countries Europe. This way your vacation becomes interesting and educational.
4 Bolivia
The nature of Bolivia is very diverse from snowy mountain peaks to the hot valleys. Andes, waterfalls, festivals, museums, ancient architecture, gastronomic tours, the legendary "road of death" - all this awaits you in Bolivia. The optimal visiting season is September-February, when the temperature is about 30 degrees. Bolivia is considered the cheapest resort South America. Indeed, you can spend about $20 a day there. Rent will be $15, and the average check is 3! For example, a bowl of soup there costs about a dollar, and travel costs 30 cents. A visa for Russians has become unnecessary since 2017. The flight will cost approximately $1,200.
3 India
India is a country of contrasts and social castes. Prices are lower than in Thailand. From May to September is the rainy season, so prices are lower during this period. Housing can be found for the absurdly low price of 10-15 dollars! The population has exceeded a billion, traveling by public transport is very difficult for tourists, plus there are tourist crimes and tourist police. Therefore, it is better to look for housing closer to attractions. Another minus is the unsanitary conditions. Under no circumstances should you drink tap water. The average bill in a cafe is 3-4 dollars. Flight is approximately $600. The visa is issued electronically and costs $60.
2 Vietnam
Temperature in winter is 30-35 degrees. The flight will be around $500. Visa up to 15 days is free. Accommodation at a hotel will cost a tourist $50, dinner at a restaurant $8. Taxi within the city from 3 to 9. Prices

Only for Last year 27 million vacationers came there from all over the world, of which 15 million were in Bangkok, which is a record for cities in the world. Thailand has a rich cultural heritage, vibrant national cuisine, luxury hotels were built here near snow-white beaches. Thanks to all this, new travelers flock there, and many return to Thailand more than once.
2. Brazil
The whole world knows the cheerfulness of Brazilians, who literally ignite at the mention of the words “samba” or “football”. For tourists, Brazil is a real paradise: here you can take part in a jaguar hunt in the jungle or just lie on a beautiful beach, sipping a local Caipirinha cocktail to the whimsical rhythms of bossa nova. There are over 2,000 beaches on the Atlantic coast of Brazil, and along it there are thousands of small islands - here you can find a secluded lagoon and wonderful places for surfing. In general, there are so many interesting and unusual things in Brazil that it’s impossible to list them all. You can take a risk and go to long journey deep into the Amazon, where there is the opportunity to catch a huge pirarucu fish. Much less effort will be required to visit Rio de Janeiro - a magnificent South American city with its famous beaches Ipanema and Copacabana, where you can listen to plenty of bossa nova and samba, engage in extreme local sports - ride a piece of plastic from a high sand dune straight into the ocean.
3. Australia
Australia's Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral formation on the planet. It is even considered one of the wonders of the world. This is a real paradise for scuba diving enthusiasts; divers can see a huge variety of fauna here. Pacific Ocean: amazingly beautiful fish, cetaceans, mollusks and the corals themselves. But environmentalists believe that due to global warming, the water temperature is slowly rising, which, together with its pollution, leads to the death of corals. The most pessimistic forecasts give the reef life for another few decades, and after that it may happen that there will be nothing to see. So hurry up to Australia!
4. Croatia
Having joined the European Union, Croatia, beloved by Russians as a holiday destination, has become more accessible to them, since it is constantly introducing abolition visa regime. Therefore, compatriots happily go there to relax in the mild Mediterranean climate of Croatia. It's never too hot here, just just right. An excellent addition to the climate are the picturesque Adriatic beaches and the surrounding landscapes. Croatia is a very “homey” country that did not build huge all-inclusive hotels, at the entrance of which there is a constant doorman in livery. Instead, there are many apartments for rent local residents, in which tourists truly feel at home.
Croatia has a lot of greenery and very clean air, in which subtle aromas of pine resin and sea salt can be felt. Local beaches framed by lacy tree crowns. Once you move away from big cities into the outback, you will be able to enjoy peace and quiet even in the midst of tourist season. But Croatian beaches are not the only entertainment here, because Croatia is rich in historical and natural attractions - it is no coincidence that it is considered one of the most beautiful in Europe.
Many of our compatriots have one persistent stereotype regarding the amount of strong drinks consumed by Russians. No one should be surprised...
5. Morocco
Morocco is considered the pearl of North Africa, and yet relatively recently it was closed to tourism, but recently it has been making up for itself by hosting huge number travelers from all over the world. This country has a variety of natural conditions: the sands of the Sahara here face the sea, and on the other side they run into the mountains. Therefore, it makes sense to come here for those who like to soak up the beach near warm sea, and those who prefer to spend their holidays more actively.
Among several Moroccan resorts, Agadir is especially famous, which is located in a valley on the shore Atlantic Ocean. There are beaches of golden sand, camel rides into the dunes and a lot of other entertainment are organized. In the town of Essaouira there is one remarkable fishing port, in which colorful boats of fishermen crowd, and clouds of seagulls fly above them. Islam is widespread in Morocco, so Russians who do not profess this religion are not very comfortable here during Ramadan, because at this time even foreigners are not allowed to drink alcoholic beverages.
6. Bulgaria
The wonderful country of Bulgaria has a gentle sea, sandy beaches and green parks. Local beach resorts and club hotels operate on an all-inclusive basis. This country can be called ideal for a family holiday - here you can find... mineral springs, and sports facilities. The pride of the country is its endless vineyards and rose plantations. Although Bulgaria is a fairly close neighbor, it has a highly developed tourist service that is of European quality and offers decent entertainment program. The beaches in Bulgaria are clean and well-groomed.
While vacationing in Bulgaria, you can’t help but come to Sofia, which is one of the oldest cities on the continent - settlements from prehistoric times have been found here. An important landmark of the capital is the Church of Hagia Sophia, which even appears on the city’s coat of arms.
Many women prefer shopping tourism, like the best option to relax, have fun, and enjoy shopping. What could be nice...
7. Greece
Greece can be called the golden mean in all respects. There are many small home-style hotels here that maintain hotel service with daily cleaning, and offer a buffet breakfast, but at the same time make you feel welcome with good friends. Greece has given the world many great historical attractions, but it is also rich in a variety of beaches: sandy, pebble or sand and pebble. You can have fun going from beach to beach and comparing them. On many of the countless greek islands you can stay in a hotel where instead of a veranda there is a small swimming pool, in which you can spend the whole day without leaving your home. In addition, you can take easy walks on the sea on different watercraft, inspecting picturesque bays and looking for new beaches for yourself. It’s also worth saying about the beautiful Greek cuisine, which is famous throughout Europe. Dinner at a national Greek restaurant will give both adults and children a lot of gastronomic delights.
8. Tunisia
Tunisia can be called quite young tourist country, since it began to widely attract travelers only in the 80s of the last century. But these days it boasts 1,200 km of beaches, near which there are numerous modern hotels, and many historical monuments. Also based on local thermal springs Popular thalassotherapy centers have been created. There are resorts here that are already teeming with crowds of tourists attracted low prices and excellent beaches, but there are also those that are just gaining popularity - in these you can relax in a much more relaxed atmosphere.
Tabarka is just such a sparsely populated resort, located in the north of the country - the “coral coast”. Diving lovers should come here. The small resort town of Magdia, located on Mediterranean coast, is conducive to a relaxing family holiday on snow-white beaches. A holiday in Tunisia can be a solution to problems for those who are afraid to fly by plane, since you can sail here from Genoa or Marseille by ferry, taking your own car in which you can travel around the country.
9. Cambodia
Cambodia has incredibly picturesque landscapes, a lot of antiquities and very cheap food. Until recently, prices here were probably not just low, but indecently low. This was explained by the fact that tourists did not come here due to the terrible recent fate of this country, and only recently the situation began to change dramatically in better side. Now it’s mostly young people who are flocking to Cambodia, who like a lot here.
10. Italy
With my incredible story Italy could not help but become a tourism destination associated with educational excursions. Countless routes around classic Italy will always attract tourists who prefer not to fry on the beach all day long, but to get to know the country with their ears and eyes, constantly traveling around it. The most curious seek to leave the beaten path and climb into unfamiliar villages of the Italian outback. Those who need sun and sea can head to the resorts of the Adriatic Sea, Amalfi and Naples, or settle in the resorts of Tuscany and Lazio. Russian tourists have long mastered such destinations in Liguria as Portofino, San Remo or Santa Margherita Ligure, where bohemians and the elite prefer to have fun. Of course, you shouldn’t forget about the Italian islands: Sicily, Sardinia, Ischia can reward you with magnificent views of nature and allow you to enjoy a quiet, relaxing holiday.

The sea is still very warm, and the air temperature is quite favorable. The nights in September are also warm and pleasant for late night walks. The climate also depends on the specific location of the vacation spot. Yes, on west coast cooler than in the south.
