We visited here for the first time on New Year's holidays in 2015. We visited again in the summer of 2016 and spring of 2018.

Secondly, in addition to the huge number of attractions of Prague itself, there is also a lot of interesting things in its surroundings and neighboring cities.

Holidays abroad have always been considered the most expensive pleasure. But recently, tourists can go on vacation abroad freely and the cost of such a vacation will be quite acceptable. Let's look at the cheapest holidays abroad in 2019.
In this article we will try to provide you with a description of the most popular destinations among Russian tourists. Also, many may be interested in reading the information from the article: where to holiday abroad without a visa in 2019.
Most Popular Countries
In Turkey any Russian feels at home and therefore many residents of our country prefer to holiday in this country. Turkey is mainly a beach holiday with children on the Black Sea or the Mediterranean. You can also do inexpensive shopping here and naturally visit various attractions. Also, we must not forget about entertainment, of which there is simply a huge amount in Turkey, and therefore every day tourists will find a lot of nightclubs, discos, restaurants and bars.
Prices for holidays here fluctuate depending on the time of year, season and part of the country. So, for example, a tour to Antalya will cost about 200 dollars, to Istanbul - about 350 dollars, and to Kemer - 250 dollars. On average, a two-week tour for two can be purchased for $1000–1500, and if you are lucky enough to buy a last-minute tour or go to Turkey in the fall, you can save up to 50% of their cost. Russian tourists prefer Turkey for a complete holiday with an all-inclusive system, excellent climate, clean sea and numerous excursions.
Unfortunately today, Türkiye is closed to travel companies and many are tormented by the question of when Turkey will open. But you can go on vacation on your own.
Holidays in Egypt at sea is the most traditional among Russian residents, since this destination has long been “travelled” by Russian tourists. Here you can enjoy excellent hotel service, a warm climate, and a huge amount of entertainment for only $250 for 7-8 days of a great vacation.
Warm Red Sea, gentle sun, All inclusive and, of course, ancient pyramids- this is what numerous tourists come to this beautiful country for every year with its ancient history And unique monuments culture and architecture: The Pyramids, the eternal Sphinx and Luxor, which tourists visit, all this is worth going to this country on vacation. But this direction is closed, although there is information that flights will soon resume.
And, of course, the logical question will be: what is better, Turkey or Egypt in terms of service, comfort, food?
Thailand no less popular than Turkey or Egypt, but in this country the high season begins in mid-autumn and ends at the beginning of winter. Therefore, if you want to purchase the most cheap tour, then it is best to count on the month of April or May.
A package for a ten-day vacation will cost about $700–800. The cheapest seaside holiday in 2019 will indeed be in Thailand, since in almost any region of the country you can have a great holiday for $15–25 per day. If you decide to go on your own, then on average you will need about $400 per month for accommodation, subject to staying at a hotel in the center of Pattaya. But you can find a vacation cheaper. On the island of Phuket, Chang, Koh Samui, Phi Phi you can find a hotel room for $150–200 per month. And if one room is enough for you, then you can rent it for 80–90 dollars.
Thailand has very cheap products, so you only need $100 a month for food. For 2 dollars you can have a great lunch in any cafe, and 6 dollars is enough for dinner in good restaurant. And if you want to fill your suitcase with inexpensive things, then 100 dollars will be enough for you, without even haggling.
The cheapest holiday at sea
Vietnam– this is an incredibly beautiful place where you can find many corners of nature untouched by man. And even despite the growing popularity of this country, holidays in it remain still quite acceptable. So, for example, 10 dollars a day is enough for one person to stay in a hotel, meals, excursion programs and massage. And if you are willing to spend $20 a day, you won’t be able to deny yourself anything. Therefore, 400–500 dollars for an excellent 30-day vacation will be quite enough. But this does not include the flight, since plane tickets are not included in this price (a direct flight will cost a little more than with transfers).
Read a useful informative article about comparing countries: What to choose - Thailand or Vietnam, Sri Lanka for quality inexpensive holidays, excursions and entertainment?
Goa (India) is another popular tourist destination, because with 100 dollars in your pocket (6000 rupees) you can have a great rest and not deny yourself anything, especially when it comes to northern Goa.
The cost of a holiday in Goa for a European person is quite low, especially far from big cities and metropolises. The most expensive holiday in Goa is in winter, since the high season begins at this time, but if you buy a ticket in the off-season, then a tour with air travel when prices drop starts from $400. But if you decide to go on your own and stay in an inexpensive guesthouse, as many young people do, you can save about 20-30% of your money. Goa is very popular among Russians due to its favorable tropical climate and recreation at almost any time of the year.
Abkhazia is located next to Russia and therefore many prefer to go to this country on vacation, since for many it will be the most budget option to have a great time on the Black Sea. I would also like to note that Russians do not need visas or foreign passports to go on vacation to Abkhazia and the journey will take a little time.
If you do not have a large amount of money, you can choose a vacation in the private sector, where prices are budget housing do not exceed 300–350 rubles per day per person. If you want more comfortable apartments in the private sector, you will have to shell out a larger amount - about 500 rubles. Meals per day in Abkhazia will also cost you from 500 rubles per day. Thus, it can be calculated that a seven-day holiday in this country without travel will cost about 5,600 to 10,000 rubles per person.
Holidays in boarding houses and hotels in 2019 will cost much more. So, for example, a double room in a boarding house or sanatorium will cost from 1,600 to 8,000 rubles per day. So if you are counting on inexpensive holiday in Abkhazia, then you will need an amount of 22,000 rubles for two. For 30,000 rubles for two you can also see all the sights of this beautiful country.
Many Russians, we are sure, will be curious about the answer to the following question: Where is it better to relax - in Sochi, Crimea or Abkhazia?
But the cheapest holiday abroad at sea awaits you in Bali and Cambodia. These countries offer the cheapest accommodation and food for tourists. In Bali you can find excellent accommodation for $100 a month and the same amount will cover food for 30 days. The only downside is that the flight is very expensive - about $1000!
Cambodia and Bali not so much famous countries For tourist recreation, and therefore the logical question would be: Where are Bali and Cambodia?
And in Cambodia you can find a room for $1.50 a night, and when you buy delicious and cheap food, you will feel guilty for paying people so little. A visit to one of the world's most famous monuments of the kingdom of Cambodia - Angkor Wat will cost you only 5 dollars.
Exquisite holiday
Sri Lanka or Ceylon island has recently begun to enjoy great popularity among Russian tourists, as many want to relax in exotic places, where beautiful nature reigns and there are many secluded beautiful places and unique cultural and historical attractions.
And it is in Sri Lanka that you can have a wonderful holiday in an inexpensive beach hotel for 10-15 dollars a day. And here you can do the most various types sports: diving, surfing, fishing, kiting, rafting, etc. But plane tickets here are not cheap, so it’s best to purchase tickets for charter flights or for connecting flights. Thus, for a month's vacation you will need about 400–500 dollars.
Greece is a country of ancient gods, the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, as well as beautiful scenic spots, where you can relax with children at the most reasonable prices. Halkidiki is a pearl Aegean Sea, Crete is the island of the legendary Minotaur, Athens is the capital of the country, Rhodes, Peloponnese, Attica, Paros, Corfu and many other islands and resorts of Greece attract many tourists from Russia. And all of them are perfect for a family holiday. On average, a holiday in Greece will cost you $250–350 for 7 days. Currently, this country is one of the cheapest countries that require a Schengen visa for those who want to fully enjoy the beach and excursion holidays on the sea.
Cyprus It cannot be called very cheap for a holiday, but it is very popular among Russians. A ticket to Cyprus from Moscow will cost about $200 per person, but if you get a promotion from an airline, you can save from 30 to 50%. But living on the island is quite expensive. The cheapest room in Paphos will cost $30–35, but you can rent a room for $25–28 per night. Food in cafes and restaurants is also not cheap, so it is best to buy food in supermarkets, where various promotions and discounts are available.
If you are choosing where to vacation, between the last two countries, we recommend reading the differences between them: What is better to choose - Greece or Cyprus, for example, for a beach holiday?
Europe is a holiday destination
Portugal is a member of the Eurozone and therefore cannot boast of the same low prices like Asian countries. But the holiday here is completely different. You need to go to this beautiful country, which is located in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, just to enjoy the taste of excellent seafood, Portuguese cherry liqueur - ginjinha, port wine, and also visit all architectural monuments Iberian culture of the country, one of which is the famous Belem Tower - a fort on the Tijo River in the region of the same name in Lisbon.
