At the end of each year, the flow of tourists increases incredibly - everyone is drawn to travel. Galya and I are no exception.

Swimming in the sea, basking in the sand, riding elephants - it’s best in countries such as Thailand, India, Vietnam - these are the most popular and well-studied destinations summer holiday. Countries have been working successfully with tourists for a long time. Large selection hotels, ease of booking, the opportunity to relax on your own, without travel agencies and intermediaries.

In Europe, vacations are of a completely different kind. The cities themselves are beautiful: medieval cathedrals, museums, town halls, factories, art galleries, architectural originality. Cities such as Brussels, Strasbourg, Nuremberg, Cologne, Zurich, Vienna, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Helsenki are beautiful and interesting at any time of the year, and unforgettable at Christmas.

Although, in our opinion, it is better to go to Paris, Rome, Venice in September - early October or in the spring. These cities are always beautiful, and there is less crowding.

In Brussels recent years hold a grand light show. It’s worth a look, and it’s also interesting to walk around the festive city. And then go further, because in Europe the distances are short, the roads are good, transport runs frequently and regularly. It’s easy to get from one city to another, and there are no borders between countries - travel to your heart’s content!

The light show is different every year.

Museum openings during Christmas

In Europe, it is worth paying attention to the work of museums, art galleries and shops. During the Christmas holidays, in accordance with the traditions of the country, on December 24, 25, 26 they work on a special schedule or are closed. Grocery stores also closed. In big cities like Munich, where many Muslims live, eating is not a problem, but in small towns... and cafes and shops are closed on December 25th. You can find out the details.

In Asia, museums and shops are open as usual.

When we choose where it’s better to go on vacation in December, we start with the question: “What do you want more - swimming in the sea in December or a holiday of the soul?” But this is just the beginning. Further it is worth considering weather conditions, budget for accommodation and flights to the country, whether we need a visa to the country and whether we will have time to get it. Having compared our capabilities and desires, we make a decision.

Weather in December in Europe

The weather in Europe is changing. Just a few years ago in December in Germany, the grass was green on the lawns, and the temperature was around zero. Now you can expect any surprises and sudden cold snaps, ice and snowfall and slush and warmth. You should not place much faith in the predictions of meteorologists. You can still predict something for 3 days, but I don’t believe in long-term weather forecasts.

To get an idea (and just to get an idea) about the weather in the city you need, I recommend using the resource Meteonovosti.ru website address: http://www.hmn.ru/ Here you can see the map, the country, select a city and find out what the climate is in the city . Those. temperature day and night, amount of precipitation, etc. You can see the forecast for the coming days and the archive actual temperature over the past years.

Weather in December in Sri Lanka

The island is large and its climate is “convenient for travelers.” Six months, from May to April, is the season of rest and good weather in the northern part; the rest of the time in this part of the island there are rains and strong waves. Therefore, in December you need to go to the south, where beaches such as Hikkaduwa, Unawatuna, Beruwela, Weligama are located. IN central regions There may be some short rain showers. We wrote more about this in.

Weather in December in India

India experiences several types of climate: tropical humid, tropical dry, subtropical monsoon and alpine. In most of the country there are three seasons: monsoon - hot and humid (June - October); trade wind - cool and dry (November - February); transitional - very hot and dry (March - May).

Goa at Christmas

In December in Delhi, for example, the temperature during the day averages 21 °C, and at night drops to 9 °C. Mumbai is further south and the temperature is 31°C during the day, 20°C at night, GOA is 32°C during the day, 21°C at night. As you can see, the temperature drops significantly at night, so don't forget a warm sweater, hat and sneakers when traveling to central or northern India in December.

Weather in Thailand in December

In Thailand all year round the weather is good. But in winter it is excellent! Therefore, December is the peak season. The sea is calm, water temperature 22 - 24 degrees. There is no wind. You can swim, sunbathe, get a massage on the beach.

Weather in December in Vietnam

Vietnam is a very beautiful country. There are cultural monuments and good comfortable beaches. The peculiarity of Vietnam is its length from north to south. Just like Sri Lanka, you can travel to Vietnam in both winter and summer, but to different parts of Vietnam.

Vietnam. Beach on Phu Kok Island

In northern Vietnam, the period from November to April is cool and dry; May to October are hot and humid. December in northern Vietnam is cool and humid. Swimming is unpleasant. It's not worth going.

In the south of Vietnam, from May to November is the rainy season; High humidity all year round.

In winter, it is worth going to the south of Vietnam in the direction of Ho Chi Minh City, Da Lat, Phan Thiet / Mui Ne. December is the best time to visit Phu Quoc Island, Phan Thiet and Mui Ne beaches.

In popular Nha Chang, the water turns a dirty brown color in October-December.

Which countries require a visa?

The question is important. If your vacation comes unexpectedly and you decide to go, you may not have time to prepare documents to enter the country.

In Europe there is the Schengen zone. To travel within the zone, within the countries of the union, a visa is not required. But to enter the zone itself and the country where your plane will land, you need a visa.

In this sense, Asian countries are simpler. A visa is not required for Thailand. In Vietnam, if your stay in the country is less than 15 days, you do not need it. A visa is required for India, but it is very easy to obtain. A visa is required for Sri Lanka, but it can be done.

You can check which countries require a visa.

Cost of travel in December

The next important question is your budget. Many people are looking for places to travel cheaply. It won't come cheap. But you can do it economically. Especially if you are traveling on your own.

There are two here important points: the cost of a plane ticket and the cost of living in the country.

A plane to Europe is relatively inexpensive, so you can fly to Berlin for 131 € (round trip). To the Czech Republic for 178 €. To Spain for 190 €. But the further the country is from Russia, the more expensive the ticket.

We use a ticket finder aviasales. One of the convenient features of this search engine is a map low prices, you can always see it on our right side of the article. Click on the map, a new window opens. Select the departure city, flight period, duration of stay and preferred price for the air ticket. And the search engine selects a convenient flight for you. Great, right?

Now about Asia. Accommodation in Thailand, India, Vietnam, Sri Lanka is inexpensive. In India it is 4 times cheaper than in Russia (we compare prices with Moscow). In Sri Lanka it is 3 times cheaper than in Russia, in Thailand and Vietnam, about the same, maybe a little cheaper.

But! Air tickets to these countries are expensive. If you buy in advance, six months in advance, then for Christmas and New Year you can find tickets to India and Thailand for 28 thousand rubles. To Sri Lanka for 30 thousand rubles. To Vietnam for 34 thousand rubles. The closer the dates are to the departure date, the higher the price (as a rule), here you need to keep an eye on prices and monitor offers. We do this through the same search engine aviasales.

If you compare the total cost of a trip to Christmas (airfare + accommodation), you can see that a holiday in Europe and a holiday in Asia will be approximately the same.

Sometimes you want sun and sea in December. Sometimes you want a beautiful Christmas and holiday. Having compared the weather, conditions for obtaining a visa, ticket prices and the cost of living in the country, we decided that in December we could have a budget holiday in the Czech Republic. That Christmas in Prague is also inexpensive (compared to Stockholm, London or Zurich) and bright. In Germany it is more expensive, but in Germany the holiday is more noticeable. The most beautiful fairs are here.

In Germany you can see not only big cities and capitals, where the holiday is celebrated on a grand scale, but also small, picturesque, incredibly interesting German cities, where it is quieter, calmer and more like a historical tradition.

We can recommend you this route: Munich - Nuremberg, from Nuremberg go for a day to Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Bamberg. So you can see a noisy and traditional Christmas and stroll through medieval Germany.

What else is worth considering? That air ticket prices increase by the end of December, i.e. The cost of a trip in December will be different. Prices for flights from December 20-21 are more expensive (peak season, prices fly). Prices will decline only in January. A trip in early December will have a different cost than a trip in late December.

I have been to Egypt several times, in many cities. Of course, Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh were also on the list.
You can scold Egypt or Turkey as much as you like, but everyone has a different budget, preferences during their vacation, and it’s stupid to think that Egypt or Turkey are

You can fly directly to Antalya or first to Istanbul, take a couple of days for sightseeing and get to know the ancient city.

Thailand inexpensive holiday at sea in November-December

There is plenty to do here: active travelers will do a lot of walking, driving, sightseeing, and those who like the sun, sea and swimming pool will also benefit from it. In general, Thailand is not a country where there is nothing to do except sit in your room.
In Thailand you can have an inexpensive holiday in both Pattaya and Phuket. The pros and cons of both resorts can be discussed for a long time, but in short, Pattaya has better excursions, transport, movement, and Phukta has cleaner beaches.
On short term It is cheaper to buy a tour to Thailand than to organize a trip yourself.
