For New Years, instead of the classic celebration at home, you can buy a family New Year's tour to Europe for Christmas holidays 2021. We usually use one of these services for such cases (or rather all at once, we are looking for the most profitable tour):
- Travelata
- Level.Travel
- Onlinetours
Rest abroad is an opportunity to create a romantic atmosphere for a loved one. Tours for two for Christmas in Europe - the magic of ancient cities and fabulous architecture in a festive decoration. When you are in Prague or Germany, you are immersed in the magical atmosphere of Christmas, sipping mulled wine or coffee and watching the decorated old streets. Probably many in childhood had a dream to see the Christmas atmosphere and Santa Claus?
If you want to take a break from the usual bustle and communication, spend the old and celebrate the new year with dignity - a Christmas tour to a European country is an excellent choice for both one and two people with a flight from Moscow.
Where is the best place to relax on New Year's Eve abroad? The question is relevant for many Russians, the answer to which we will try to give in this article.
New Year in Prague - 2021
The capital of the Czech Republic welcomes tourists with hospitality and pleasant prices (prices are lower than in most European countries). It is better to book tours for Christmas to Europe in 2021 from Moscow through the tour operator Biblio Globus or Anex Tour, because you can choose not only dates, but also a cultural program. If the price is lower from another tour operator, then you can safely take it after having studied the article on the rating of tour operators.
Our experience: If you are flying for 7-10 days, then the cheapest is to buy a tour. Favorable dates are usually with departure until December 25, then prices rise dramatically.
The price of tours to the Czech Republic in the New Year depends on the excursion service. If a visit to ancient castles in Prague is not included in the plans, you should:
- visit on Christmas day in the heart of the Old Town - Old Town Square, look at the country's main Christmas tree, take part in folk festivities, drink hot mulled wine and see a monument to the legendary Jan Hus;
- take a photo at the Prague Castle - an architectural landmark and presidential residence;
- look into the pearl of the city - St. Vitus Cathedral;
- walk along the Charles Bridge, admire the medieval towers and sculptures;
- walk through the parks of Vyshgorod and see the city from the fortress wall.

New Year in Paris
Paris, like the rest of Europe, is unlikely to distinguish itself on New Year's Eve with a romantic snowball and a slight "minus". Rather, a dank under-rain and an unpleasant "plus". The capital of France, in our opinion, is not the best choice for celebrating on the street (well, as in Red Square - with a sparkler, crowd-fun-congratulations).
Firstly, yes, there are many migrants in Paris who will also come out to have fun. Secondly, Paris is the most visited city in Europe, so tourists will be generously added to the visitors. In addition to the Eiffel Tower, the Sacre Coeur Basilica and the Champs Elysees, you can celebrate the New Year according to the following scenarios:
- Seine cruise - pretentious with dress code and not so
- Cabaret - Moulin Rouge, Lido and other Parisian classics
- Restaurant or hotel with New Year's show
- Disneyland
A tour to Paris is, of course, unreasonable and expensive. Although an independent organization cannot say that it saves rubles:
✓ Round-trip flights with capture on December 31 - from 16,000 rubles per person
✓ The cheapest hotel (not a hostel) - from 40 euros per room
✓ Apartment on Airbnb - from 45 euros (and up to 45 euros discount on the link if you are a beginner)
✓ Guided Tours - Read about the top ten in Paris
New Year's Eve in Austria (Vienna)
When choosing ski tours to Austria for your vacation, take the time to spend a few days in the capital. It is necessary to visit the heart of Europe to see:
- the Belvedere Palace and the adjacent park;
- the famous Imperial Opera;
- the summer residence of the Habsburg dynasty - Schonbrunn Palace.
Don't forget to stop by the cozy coffee shop and taste the real strudel.
If you are not interested in sports, a Christmas tour to Vienna for 7 or 10 days will give you the opportunity to compose a rich and high-quality excursion program, visit ancient temples, palaces, art galleries. Also from Vienna you can easily go to Germany (either by bus or by booking a car here).
Tour to Vienna for the New Year for couples in love - a romantic atmosphere surrounded by antiquity and modern service, walks along the smart streets of the night city.

New Year in Austria (Vienna)
When choosing tours to Austria for the New Year, you need to familiarize yourself with the photographs and information on prices and service at ski resorts. There are over 800 of them in the Austrian Alps in 70 regions. Ski tourism is developed at all levels: you can choose a boarding house for a family vacation with a kindergarten and animators, or go to a hotel for professional athletes with some of the best slopes in the world.
Tours to Austria for New Year and Christmas are distinguished by affordable prices. A six-day economy vacation, including December 31 and January 1, in a cozy hotel in the suburbs of Vienna, and a flight in both directions can be organized from 28,000 rubles. A week in a fashionable complex in the Alps with SPA procedures, hot springs and ski slopes will cost several times more, and a VIP tour will cost several dozen times more.
You can relax economically by purchasing a burning New Year's tour. But here it is worth noting that in December it is very difficult to do this, and there is a chance to buy a ticket instead of a burning tour - a ticket several times more expensive than the usual price. Therefore, we advise you to take advantage of early booking tours for the New Year.
Ski tours to Austria
For lovers of outdoor activities, ski tours to Austria are suitable. Service at all Alpine resorts is one of the best in all of Europe, prices are designed to suit any budget. Here you can both spend an active vacation in the mountains and stroll along the Christmas streets of Vienna.
The tourist season in Austria lasts all year round, but to celebrate the New Year 2021 in Vienna means to plunge into the special atmosphere of the European capital, imbued with the melody of waltzes, plunge into the world of beauty and enjoy the beauty of an old European city.

In Lapland, you can enjoy a unique spectacle - the northern lights, cross the Arctic Circle, visit the Joulupukki residence and take pictures with it, breathe in the fresh forest air, get acquainted with the national cuisine. Here you get the opportunity to go not only skiing, sledging and snowmobiling, but also deer, dog sleds and snowmobiles.
The minimum price for a tour to Lapland for the New Year with a flight from Moscow will be 64 thousand rubles - this amount will cost air tickets to Rovaniemi, 5 nights in a hotel and a visit to Santa's residence. You can relax on a budget if you buy a burning New Year's tour: the price of the ticket will differ significantly from the standard one.
