For easy-going tourists, in addition to this list of visa-free countries for Russians, it will be useful to keep on hand - here is a list of countries for which you do not need to obtain a visa in advance, you can simply get it upon entry, at the border.
By the way, if you have a valid US visa, then with it you can travel “visa-free”, for example, to Mexico, Puerto Rico, Belize, Bermuda, the Virgin Islands, and also visit the UK in transit (24 hours of transit in each direction ).
Also, do not forget that when entering all these visa-free and conditionally visa-free countries, customs may require additional documents in addition to your passport (most often this is a return air ticket or an air ticket to a third country, a hotel reservation, less often an invitation, etc.) - Travelers usually check all this and the latest information on visas on the websites of consulates. And be sure to take it with you travel insurance
Scientists say that good rest is the main guarantee of health. But what to do if financial possibilities are small? Spend your free time at the dacha? Not necessary. A budget vacation is an absolutely realistic prospect, even abroad.
Abroad is attractive to our compatriots for several reasons: good service, the opportunity to see the world, profitable shopping, and also an excellent opportunity to break out of a routine, everyday environment. Therefore, for the last decade, Russo tourists have been selflessly exploring foreign countries. Russians even already have favorite holiday destinations in Asia, Europe and Africa.
Before starting any journey, you need to identify its main goal. In the concept of relaxation, some include blissful lying on the beach, others cannot imagine it without sightseeing, and for others, be sure to serve exotic things. Depending on the goals you need
choose a place.
The cheapest holiday abroad, where?
For many years, tours to Turkey, Egypt and Bulgaria have been considered the cheapest. Türkiye and Egypt attract everyone with their favorite and convenient all-inclusive options.
Bulgaria has a mild climate and lower prices compared to the rest of Europe. But with the growing popularity among tourists, the cost of holidays in these countries also increases. Therefore, a more budget-friendly option would be a trip to Croatia, Montenegro, Romania and even the Baltic coast of Poland, where in a nice hot summer you can have a great rest.
The service, sea and nature here may not be too European, but at the proper level. There are plenty of attractions to explore, all sorts of monasteries, castles and picturesque ruins. The kitchen is excellent. Moderately original, but not causing an unexpected reaction in Slavic stomachs. You can also get to these countries by car.
Greece, Italy and Spain will also cost tourists less than the rest of Europe. Especially if you vacation a little out of season and not in the most popular tourist centers. Experienced tourists claim that prices a couple of tens of kilometers from the resort area are an order of magnitude lower. That is, if you rent an apartment or hotel room in a small town on the coast in Spain or Italy, your vacation will cost much less. By the way, apartments with several bedrooms and a kitchen always cost less than a room.
In the Asian direction, it is worth paying attention to resorts in Vietnam and Goa in India. The prices there are so low that if it weren’t for the road, holidays in these countries could be called the most budget-friendly. However, the flight is guaranteed to eat up a significant amount. Moreover, there are still not many charters in that direction and the cost of air tickets remains high.
Belonging to the dollar zone and low local prices have made Latin American countries very attractive for tourism. Argentina, Peru, Brazil, Cuba can boast of good ocean beaches, excellent, moderately exotic cuisine, and an interesting unique culture. But here you also need to make allowances for the road. It won't be cheap.
How to organize an inexpensive holiday abroad?
There are two main options here: either last-minute travel packages, or your own route, searching for cheap charter flights and budget accommodation.
Last minute travel deals are very good, but they have one significant drawback. They are last-minute because it will not be possible to plan their purchase in advance. Therefore, you can use two proven methods of catching them.
The first is to track offers from tour operators in the right direction using Internet resources. True, in this case you need to have a loyal employer who can let you go on vacation at any time. The second method is suitable for large cities where there are many travel agencies. First you need to pack your bags, and then go “hunting” for profitable tours with agencies. As a rule, within 2-3 days some offer appears at bargain prices.
An independent trip is only advisable in European resort and tourist areas. Knowledge of the language is desirable. Cheap air tickets can be found on special websites. In border areas, it will be more profitable to take buses to the Eurozone and fly from there. Accommodation can be found in advance on the Internet.
Lowest prices for different destinations:
Egypt - from 11,000 rubles.
Greece – from 11,000 rubles.
Türkiye – from 14,200 rubles.
Montenegro – from 8120 rub.
Bulgaria – from 10150 rub.
Romania – from 6,000 rubles.
Croatia – from RUB 17,973.
Italy – from 15647 rub.
Spain – from 16,667 rubles.
Argentina – from 264,000 rub.
Vietnam - from 35,407 rubles.
Where to have an inexpensive holiday at sea abroad is the most popular question among tourists, and not only in crisis years. Many countries in Europe, Asia and America can offer you cheap holidays at sea: prices for food, hotels and entertainment there remain acceptable even at the current exchange rate of the ruble and dollar. But flying to many places will cost a huge amount. Therefore, today we offer you 5 countries, where you can relax at sea abroad inexpensively even taking into account the price of air tickets.
The Internet is now replete with articles from the category “Where to relax at sea abroad inexpensively.” But many authors, describing the cheapness of holidays in these places, miss the most important point. When choosing the cheapest countries for tourists, the compilers of ratings cite ridiculous prices for food and hotels, but forget about the cost of flights. And as a result, the lists of countries where it is cheaper to relax at sea abroad are topped by either Argentina or Guatemala. No doubt, these are indeed very inexpensive countries for a seaside holiday, but not for Russians. Because before you can spend $10 a night in Guatemala, you first need to get there.
Therefore, in our article about countries where you can have an inexpensive holiday at sea abroad even at the current exchange rate of the ruble, we will take into account three main points:
- flight cost,
- food expenses,
- price of hotel accommodation.
This is a mandatory expense for all tourists. Everything else (excursions, entertainment, transportation costs, souvenirs, etc.) is very individual, so we will not take these costs into account. Considering how wide our native country is, we will list prices for air tickets from three cities at once - the capital, the Northern capital and the capital of Siberia. So, where to have an inexpensive holiday at sea abroad: the cheapest countries for tourism in Europe and Asia.

Türkiye: all in and nothing off
One of the goals of our site is to dispel misconceptions. One of the misconceptions of Russian tourists is that Türkiye was “closed” and now it has allegedly been “opened”. Dear friends! Nothing like that: Turkey has always been open, visa-free and one of the cheapest countries where you can relax at sea abroad inexpensively. It was only prohibited to sell package tours there. Read more in our articles:
No one forbade and is not forbidding you to buy air tickets and fly on your own to vacation in this country of beautiful beaches, majestic mountains and a generous all-inclusive package. Moreover, from many Russian cities you can fly to Turkish resorts either directly or with a transfer in Moscow or Istanbul. And you can book a hotel with all-inclusive meals through the booking system.
Prices for flights to Turkey: from $80
- Air ticket Moscow - Antalya: from 80 dollars
- Air ticket St. Petersburg - Antalya: from 150 dollars
- Air ticket Novosibirsk - Antalya: from 200 dollars
- Flight Moscow – Alanya: from 80 dollars
- Air ticket St. Petersburg - Alanya: from 135 dollars

Tips for finding flights to Turkey: if tickets from your city to Antalya or Alanya are too expensive, try searching cheap flights to Istanbul. And from there there are many inexpensive ways to get to the resorts of the Turkish Mediterranean - both by air and by land.
Prices for all-inclusive hotels in Turkey: from $45
We won’t calculate food prices in Turkey - why, if you can stay in a decent hotel and eat and drink on an all-inclusive basis? Moreover, it is very inexpensive! When you look at hotels, don't forget to check the "All inclusive" box:
Tips for booking all-inclusive hotels in Turkey: on the most popular booking system Booking.com All-inclusive hotels are sometimes too expensive. The same hotels with the same “opinclusive” can be found on other booking systems for many times cheaper. Therefore, we recommend looking for hotels not through Booking, but through hotel search engine Hotellook— it compares prices for the same hotels in different booking systems and gives you the best price options. In addition, Hotellook, unlike Booking, gives you the opportunity to sort hotels operating on the All Inclusive system. When you select a hotel, Hotellook will transfer you to the booking system website (Booking.com, Agoda.com, Ostrovok.ru, etc.), where the booking takes place.
Total: a week's holiday in Turkey costs from $635 for two
Airfare to Alanya and back: from $320
Hotel accommodation 7 days all inclusive: from $315
Where to relax at sea abroad inexpensively: Türkiye has always been and will be a warm, hospitable country. And after the ban on the sale of package tours, tourists had the opportunity to see the local flavor and beautiful nature behind the endless “all inclusive” packages.

Of those countries where you can inexpensively relax at sea in summer and winter, Thailand is the most exotic. And at the same time very accessible and familiar: none of the countries in Southeast Asia is visited by tourists as much as Thailand; There are not so many flights from Russia to any of the Southeast Asian countries as to Thailand, and there is not so much varied information on the Internet about any of the neighboring countries. Including on our website. Here, as an example, are a few of our articles that will help you spend your holiday in Thailand brightly and at the same time inexpensively:

Vietnam: how much does beer cost under communism?
Together with Thailand Vietnam is one of the countries where cheap seaside holidays are possible at any time of the year. For many, Vietnam as a holiday destination is even more comfortable than Thailand. One of the reasons is that local cuisine is much more familiar to the European stomach - years of communication with the French and Russians have had an effect. Moreover, the communication is so close that the main resorts of Vietnam today are completely Russified: you can’t walk a hundred meters in Nha Trang or Mui Ne without encountering the obligatory “Matryoshka” cafe or at least the “USSR” store. And prices for many products here are even lower than in Thailand. For example, beer or bread costs half a dollar, wine costs 5 dollars. Read more in our articles:

Find out where you can cheaply relax at sea in the summer of 2019 abroad and in Russia! We have chosen the most popular destinations for a holiday by the sea and calculated for each cost index. It will help you understand where to vacation is cheap and where it is expensive. Compare indexes, choose a resort and go on vacation on a budget.
How do we calculate the index?
We calculate two holiday cost indices: for vacationers on a tour and for independent tourists.
Tour holiday index. For each destination we find the cheapest tours for two for 10 days. To the cost of the tour per person we add the cost of a visa (if needed). We divide the result by 10. We get the cost of vacation per day per person.
Independent travel index. We sum up the main expenses of a tourist and divide by 10:
- Flights. We are looking for the cheapest round trip flight from Moscow. Tickets can be without luggage and with transfers.
- Housing. We find double rooms at the lowest price; we do not consider hostels. Calculation per person for 10 days.
- Visa (if needed).
What are we not counting? Food, travel, excursions, etc. - these expenses are individual and difficult to calculate. Our index does not reflect all travel expenses, but allows you to compare the cost of a vacation on a basic basis.
Why are tickets and tours only from Moscow considered? Firstly, most tourists fly from the capital on vacation. Secondly, the cheapest tickets and tours are usually from Moscow. If we count the indices for departures from all Russian cities, the review will surpass “War and Peace” in volume.
Is it possible to get it even cheaper? Can! In some cases, your vacation will cost less than according to our estimates. You will save if:
- find a cheap one or ;
- you already have and are going to Europe;
- fly on vacation during the low season.
Prices have been updated for the summer season 2019 and are indicated in Russian rubles. The indices for European countries are duplicated in euros, for Asia - in US dollars.
Exchange rate: 1 US dollar ≈ 65 RUB.
Choose a destination to suit your taste and budget:
