Canary islands in february 2022: Hottest Canary Islands in February
The Canary Guide #WeekendTips 25-27 February 2022 : The Canary
The last weekend of February and the weather forecast is not looking very promising, unless you are a gardener in hope of a pre-spring boost to your patch . A rainy weekend across Gran Canaria is expected so bear in mind that any outdoor events could get postponed or cancelled if the rain predictions become a reality. The month of March also brings a lot of events so stay tuned for things to come. The weekend offers Carnival celebrations in Las Palmas and Playa de Arinaga. The mountain village and municipality of Artenara is celebrating their patronal saint’s festivities in honour of San Matias. Las Palmas Opera Season of has started this week, for those in search of high culture, and offering performances of some amazing works.
Upcoming Bank holidays on Gran Canaria:
Tuesday, 1 March is Martes de Carnaval, Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, Mardi gras and also a local bank holiday in:
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Arucas, Firgas, Moya, Santa Brígida, Santa María de Guía, Tedeja, Teror, Valleseco
Thursday, 3 March is a Local Bank Holiday in Agüimes – Carnival Thursday
Spanish State Meteorological Agency, AEMET, forecasts rain on Gran Canaria for Friday to the north and for the whole island from Saturday. The weather at this time of year can be quite changeable, and hard to predict, even just a short distance inland from the usually much sunnier coastal weather on the south.
Gran Canaria Weather: As temperatures rise, Calima departs, and a little rain to follow, particularly on the north, by the weekend

We recently went on a 12 night cruise to The Canaries. This is the first time we have travelled on the Elizabeth and I must say that we were not disappointed. The staff were excellent in every area, always polite and extremely helpful. The ship was beautiful and in great condition. The food as always was plentiful and excellent, some people comment that the meal portions in the Britannia restaurant are small, but to be fair by the time you’ve had all the breakfast you can eat, lunch, afternoon tea, and any in between snacks you fancy, the well done to you if you can eat a late meal of gargantuan proportions. My waistline hasn’t forgiven me yet. So my advice is, if you want to experience cruising with complete elegance then book with confidence, and don’t worry if you think it will be too fussy, the staff are so wonderful and efficient they put you completely at ease.

went on a 2 night mini cruise to Bruges via Zeebrugge as a single passenger. check in was quick and smooth my cabin was on deck 2 one of the very few single cabins they have onboard. I was very impressed with the cabin, enough space, the bed was a good size more like a small double instead of a single. A nice welcoming bottle of sparkling wine, large TV and excellent toiletries in the bathroom. Good entertainment on board. Live music, games the library, had a great day in Bruges the next day by taking the excursion coach from Zeebrugge to Bruges and back all for just 20 Euros. The Captain was excellent, Only negative was being a single passenger having to eat in the Britannia Restaurant with 2 couples and was totally left out and feeling isolated on the first night and uncomfortable So the second night ate in the Lido Buffet. good short cruise but the company should seat single passengers with other single passengers not with couples.

First went on this ship in 2016 and was amazed by everything however we did a return trip on the 2 night mini cruise to Zeebrugge. Ship looking worn despite the refit, (see attached photo from Britannia restaurant – the design amuses me!) the buffet restaurant now has an awful layout with very poor food and poor choice. The food in the Britannia restaurant has also gone downhill. The worst part was breakfast on the last day as the buffet was so crammed there were queues so by the time we got to the food there was genuinely only scraps left. Being a mini cruise we weren’t expecting miracles however much worse than expected as the ship was crammed with rowdy people who would have been more suited to a boozy break in Magaluf. It honestly reminded me of a cruise I took on P&O Britannia to Spain. Dress code not enforced in Britannia restaurant as it had been on a recent trip on Queen Mary. Saw a group that I can only assume must have been on a joint stag/hen as all in same fluorescent clothing. All in all this was not a great cruise even the staff not as good as they once were. I was disappointed that Cunard were taking this ship out of the UK for the foreseeable but now I couldn’t care less. Would not go back in a hurry.

The ship itself is amazing and we had a great short mini cruise. The evening meal that you have a sitting time for, was tiny. Each course I’d describe as starter size. The Lido food was a mish mash of everything. Not brilliant to be honest. If you want to buy a Rolex than all the on board shops will keep you happy. The staff are all great. Polite and helpful. The Theatre was great and so was the show. I took motion sickness pills as am not great on ships and wasn’t ill at all. It was ruff on the return journey so the ship doesn’t Pitch about like a ferry. I wouldn’t book this ship again for more than the two night mini cruise.

The Cueva del Viento-Sobrado is the largest volcanic tube in the whole of Europe, and the fourth largest in the world.

If you’re thinking of going on a day trip you should definitely visit Garachico in Tenerife. This place used to be one of the richest towns on the whole island, however, the picturesque little town was engulfed in lava by an eruption back in 1706. As a consequence it has now become one of the most visited towns on the island, due to its authentic charm and unique lava sculpted landscape.
Dates for the diary
Because Los Cristianos is considered the “rest stop” of the Canary Islands, tourists should be prepared to island hop a bit if they want an excitement-filled holiday.
One of those nearby islands has a must-see event. The Santa Cruz Carnival is a bit north of Los Cristianos, but those who make the trip will not be disappointed. Some of the outlandish spectacles include men dressed in drag and everyone, regardless of gender, dressed flamboyantly.
Originally, the purpose of the costumes was to hide the participants’ identity from the Catholic Church, which vehemently disapproved of Carnival. Carnival, literally “carne valle” in Latin, translates to mean “goodbye meat.” This is a common celebration in the Catholic religion.
Just like any other Carnival celebration, this one takes place before Lent and consists of a week of festivities including the election of the Carnival Queen on Wednesday, an opening parade on Friday, and more festivities that continue until the following Wednesday which is Ash Wednesday. This day marks the end of the festivities with the burial of the sardine, a common Spanish tradition.

Where does this data come from?
Weather data for Los Cristianos was collected from the MERRA-2 project from NASA, which used a climate model combined with historical data from weather stations around the world to estimate what the conditions were like for every point on the Earth.
For all data based on historical data, we’ve averaged the data from the past 11 years (2010-2020). For example, for the hourly temperature at 10am, we’ve looked at the temperature at 10am on every day in February (e.g., February 1, February 2, etc. in 2010, 2011, etc.) and took the arithmetic mean. We did not smooth the data, so for example, our daily temperature line will have some randomness due to the fact that weather is random in the first place.

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.
The chance that a given day will be muggy in Cabo San Lucas is essentially constant during February, remaining around 1% throughout.
For reference, on August 30, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 99% of the time, while on January 28, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 1% of the time.

Temperature and Dew Point
There is only a single weather station, Los Cabos International Airport, in our network suitable to be used as a proxy for the historical temperature and dew point records of Cabo San Lucas.
At a distance of 35 kilometers from Cabo San Lucas, closer than our threshold of 150 kilometers, this station is deemed sufficiently nearby to be relied upon as our primary source for temperature and dew point records.
The station records are corrected for the elevation difference between the station and Cabo San Lucas according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.
Please note that the station records themselves may additionally have been back-filled using other nearby stations or the MERRA-2 reanalysis.
Other Data
All data relating to the Sun’s position (e.g., sunrise and sunset) are computed using astronomical formulas from the book, Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Edition , by Jean Meeus.
All other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA’s MERRA-2 Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis . This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of weather throughout the world on a 50-kilometer grid.
Land Use data comes from the Global Land Cover SHARE database , published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Elevation data comes from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) , published by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.
We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.
The chance that a given day will be muggy in San José del Cabo is essentially constant during February, remaining around 1% throughout.
For reference, on August 29, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 99% of the time, while on February 12, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 1% of the time.

Temperature and Dew Point
There is only a single weather station, Los Cabos International Airport, in our network suitable to be used as a proxy for the historical temperature and dew point records of San José del Cabo.
At a distance of 11 kilometers from San José del Cabo, closer than our threshold of 150 kilometers, this station is deemed sufficiently nearby to be relied upon as our primary source for temperature and dew point records.
The station records are corrected for the elevation difference between the station and San José del Cabo according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.
Please note that the station records themselves may additionally have been back-filled using other nearby stations or the MERRA-2 reanalysis.
Other Data
All data relating to the Sun’s position (e.g., sunrise and sunset) are computed using astronomical formulas from the book, Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Edition , by Jean Meeus.
All other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA’s MERRA-2 Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis . This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of weather throughout the world on a 50-kilometer grid.
Land Use data comes from the Global Land Cover SHARE database , published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.
We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.

We base comfort level on dew point, as it determines whether sweat will evaporate from the skin, cooling the body. A lower dew point makes you feel more dry, while a higher dew point makes you feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between day and night, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while temperatures may drop at night, a wet day usually gives way to a wet night.
The probability that a given day will be raw in Mindelo basically does not change during February, remaining all the time at about 2% .
For reference: on September 5, , on the wettest day of , dampness is felt 100% of of the time, and on March 30, , on the least wet day of , damp 1% of of the time.

Temperature and dew point
There is only one weather station in our network, Cesária Évora Airport, suitable for use as a proxy for historical temperature and dew point data for Mindelo.
Being 10 kilometers from Mindelo, closer than our threshold of 150 kilometers, this station is considered close enough to be relied upon as the primary source of temperature and dew point data.
The station data have been corrected for the difference in altitude between the station and Mindelo in accordance with the International Standard Atmosphere, as well as the relative change in MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between these two points.
Note that the station data themselves may have been subsequently supplemented by other nearby stations or MERRA-2 reanalysis.
Other data
All data related to the position of the Sun (such as sunrise and sunset) are calculated using astronomical formulas from Jean Mius’ Astronomical Algorithms, 2nd Ed. .
All other weather data, including cloudiness, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar energy flux, are taken from the MERRA-2 New Time Retrospective Analysis. This reanalysis combines various measurements over a wide area in a modern global meteorological model to reconstruct hourly weather history around the world on a 50 km grid.
Land use data are from the SHARE Global Land Cover Monitoring Network database published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Altitude data is from the Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM), published by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Housing a treasure trove of mostly paintings, furniture, porcelain, books and photos, this pleasing museum is often passed over by tourists in favour of the Golden Art Triangle and as such is something of a hidden gem – and well worth exploring.

CaixaForum Madrid

A cafe, shop/bookstore and restaurant complete the centre’s amenities.

Madrid is a mecca for football fans and the Santiago Bernabeu Tour provides the only way to immerse yourself in the sporting legacy of the city.

Spain in February – festivals and weather in Spain
Travel to Spain in the month of February
If you are determined to visit Spain in February, be prepared to “cool off” in the literal sense of the word. This is one of the coldest months of the year throughout the country, when the weather is not particularly friendly.
Spain in February in the northern highlands is the height of the ski season, and along the Atlantic coast the weather is wet, cold and windy. In the inner central regions, including in Madrid, it is very dank and cold. Tourists looking for the warm rays of the sun can safely rely on the southern and eastern coasts of the Mediterranean Sea: there will be enough of them to bask in their overflowing warmth. However, it will still be cool for sunbathing.
Andalusia is probably the warmest part of Spain in February with moderate temperatures and plenty of sunshine. Here the weather is delightful for enjoying it in a summer cafe right under the open sky.

Carnival in Sitges is not for the faint hearted
Seville in February simply draws in the tasting of “Tapas” – a traditional light Spanish snack served with alcoholic drinks in local bars. And in Barcelona at this time, the music “flows like water” at the Festa de Santa Eulalia (in mid-February).

What you’ll find is a blend of island living, luxe resorts, floating villas, idyllic white sand beaches, and all the marine wildlife and water sports you can imagine from scuba to surfing to swimming with manta rays. It’s the perfect destination for honeymooners with top-tier hotels like Gili Lankanfushi, Soneva Fushi or Joali where you can stay in isolated rooms that float over the calm ocean, some containing their own infinity pools. But you definitely don’t need a partner to enjoy the Maldives, at Solo Female Travelers we’re big advocates of setting a date with yourself! Some of our solo female travelers are concerned that the Maldives may not be the right place for a solo traveler because they will be surrounded by couples, but many resorts have moved towards solo packages offering butlers for photo sessions and lots of pampering at the spa. Put this together with activities and lots of time to read and relax, and it’s the perfect solo vacation. What’s more, several affordable options have popped up recently to stay at local islands. These guest houses act like the backpackers of other countries in that they are more casual and frequented by solo travelers.

Find your ideal hotel in QueenstownBooking.com Melbourne, AustraliaDaily average temperatures in February: High 78°F (26°C) / Low 58°F (14°C) February is a great time to visit Melbourne. Located on the southeastern Australian coast in the state of Victoria, the city is known as the cultural capital of Australia, with loads of music, art and museums and it is one of the warmest places to visit this time of year. While the temperatures can be quite high in January, they are starting to be milder in February so expect it to feel a little cooler thanks to the crisp breezes coming up from the southern ocean and Antarctica. The water remains comfortable, so loads of water sports are on offer along Victoria’s almost 2,000-kilometer stretch of coastline. So bring your board, paddle, snorkel or sail gear along for the journey. Laze away the days with the hipsters at trendy cafes or cocktail bars. And enjoy the laid back Melbournian vibe with awesome street art, a vibrant coffee culture, and street performances. Or get hyped up at one of the sporting events or festivals. Tip: Don’t miss out a visit to Philip Island to see the little penguins. Find your ideal hotel in MelbourneBooking.com Cape Town, South AfricaDaily average temperatures in February: High 76°F (24°C) / Low 62°F (17°C) February is probably the best time to visit Cape Town. Gone are the days of ridiculous traffic from the Johannesburg holiday-makers and the temperatures reach peak heights in this summer month. However, Cape Tonians say that you can experience four seasons in one day anytime but especially in February, so always carry a jacket with you, especially if you’re heading out at night as temperatures can steadily drop. Hike up Table Mountain or Lion’s Head in the morning, surf the beaches of Camps Bay and go SUPing in Clifton in the afternoon and then go do some shopping at the V&A Waterfront as the sun sets. There are hip cafes, trendy bistros and a vibrant foodie scene in Cape Town where you can sample all of the local treats from Cape Malay cuisine to a very South African braai (BBQ). Escape for a day trip to the winelands of Stellenbosch and Constantia or venture out even further to Hermanus to experience quaint coastal life. Pop in to see the penguins at Stony Point Penguin Colony before visiting the Southern tip of Africa at Cape Agulhas. We must say, Cape Town is our favorite warm place to visit in February. Find your ideal hotel in Cape TownBooking.com Cairo, EgyptDaily average temperatures in February: High 72°F (22°C) / Low 54°F (12°C) Cairo is the gateway to Egypt. Located along the mighty Nile River, the capital of Egypt is where you’ll find the infamous Giza Necropolis where the pyramids lie. Egypt in general experiences two distinct seasons. May to October is scorchingly hot and November to April is mild and actually quite gorgeous. February comes just after the coldest months, so the temperatures hover around the low 70s in the day, making it the perfect time to explore the most famous sites and this is why we think it is one of the best of the warm places to visit in February. Northern Egypt, particularly Cairo and the Nile-Delta region, is cooler than the rest of the country. Venturing off to the coastal cities like Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh, you’ll find that the temperatures rise around 5 degrees. It does get chilly at night though, so bring a sweater for the evenings, but precipitation is generally very low. Due to the beautiful weather in Cairo in February, the city sees a lot of tourists at this time, so while it is one of the best places to visit in February, it will be packed and super busy no matter where you go, small price to pay for the best weather conditions! Find your ideal hotel in CairoBooking.com Marrakech, MoroccoDaily average temperatures in February: High 64°F (18°C) / Low 52°F (11°C) Very close to Tenerife and located in northwest Africa is the idyllic Marrakech in Morocco. While the temperatures are quite low for warm places in February, they aren’t as icy as those in Spain and Portugal to the north and will be a few degrees warmer. Marrakech is a mix of sounds, flavors, colors and smells that will captivate you and mesmerise you. Sample local foods at Jemaa el-Fna, marvel at the 14th century Ali Ben Youssef Madrasa, get lost (in a good way) at the souks, and visit the beautiful blue Yves Saint Laurent Majorelle Garden. Marrakech is one of the most mesmerising places in north Africa and one of our favorite February warm destinations. Take a day trip to Casablanca on the train and peruse the French colonial past as you witness a gorgeous blend of Moorish flavors and European Art Deco culminating in the unique Mauresque architecture. Gasp at the massive Hassan II Mosque with its 210m minaret that protrudes lasers directed toward Mecca. Venture into Casablanca’s history while visiting the Old Medina or Cinema Rialto, witness its cuisine at the Central Market, go upmarket at the Le Relais de Paris, and listen to some live music at Rick’s Cafe, inspired by the 1942 classic film. It’s also a great place to base yourself if you’re looking to take a trip to Tangier up north or Marrakesh to the south. Find your ideal hotel in MarrakechBooking.com Amboseli National Park or Maasai Mara, KenyaDaily average temperatures in February: High 85°F (29°C) / Low 64°F (18°C) Another hot place to visit in February in Africa, literally and figuratively, is Kenya. This makes it the perfect time for wildlife spotting at Amboseli National Park or the Maasai Mara National Reserve as the dry season is between June to October and again in January to February. Less rain means the animals have fewer options to visit to gain sustenance and February is perfect for seeing the little ones being born because it is calving season. The watering holes are therefore packed and full of action and the parents are ready to defend their young against predators, you may even get to see the Big Five! Birdlife is also boosted at this time of the year as the intra-African and Palaearctic migrants arrive from other parts of the globe. Kenya at large is generally perfect to visit in February as it’s relatively dry and cool. You can explore the cultural hub of Nairobi, trek up to the top of Mount Kenya (second highest peak in Africa after Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania), or visit coastal Mombasa to dive and snorkel with whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins and turtles. Find your ideal hotel in Amboseli National ParkBooking.com Los Cabos, MexicoDaily average temperatures in February: High 82°F (28°C) / Low 68°F (20°C) February in Los Cabos is right in the middle of the high season which lasts from December to April. What you’ll get is perfect temperatures both day and night, loads of sunny days but also many travelers, especially traveling families on their winter breaks. Most probably the best reason to visit Los Cabos in February is if you are a wildlife enthusiast as it’s right at the end of whale season. Especially if you travel over to La Paz, you can see Humpback Whales calving, as well as Gray Whales and Whale Sharks migrating through the area. The Humpbacks are particularly playful in February. The beaches are, of course, inviting even though the water temperatures are a bit colder than summer. Waves also run consistently throughout the year, so you can catch some waves at popular breaks like Old Man’s, Zippers, The Rock, Todos Santos or Cerritos. Here are some more of the most popular things to do in Los Cabos. Los Cabos is one of the most idyllic warm places in February in the Americas and it’s just before the raucous crowd heads down from North America and Canada for Spring Break. It’s not advisable to come from March to April if you want a quiet getaway as Spring Break draws massive crowds of noisy teens and college students who stay up late at night. Find your ideal hotel in Los CabosBooking.com Cancun, MexicoDaily average temperatures in February: High 82°F (28°C) / Low 68°F (20°C) Over on the other side of the country, Cancun enjoys the same moderate temperatures as Los Cabos. Here too you can explore beautiful white sand beaches, luxurious resorts and sunny days during Cancun’s dry season. Also similar to Los Cabos, February is just before the rowdy crowds of Spring Break enter in their droves, so it’s perfect for solo travelers who are not looking for party. While water temperatures are at their lowest in February, it’s still a great time to get some snorkeling or diving in at the reefs and or swimming at the cenotes. Unfortunately, unlike Los Cabos, there will basically be no Whale Sharks or Sea Turtles during this month. Visit in February to see Mexico uniquely celebrates el Día de la Candelaria (Candlemas) or the vibey parties of Carnaval. A visit to Cancun wouldn’t be complete without marveling at the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, taking a day trip to Tulum, or checking out MUSA, the underwater art museum. Find your ideal hotel in CancunBooking.com Phuket, ThailandDaily average temperatures in February: High 91°F (33°C) / Low 76°F (24°C) Phuket is a holiday favorite no matter the month. So, it’s not only a warm February destination, but has amazing temperatures throughout the year. Monsoon season in Phuket lasts from May to October, so you’re definitely safe concerning the rain, there may be the occasional drizzle, but nothing serious. While it may be busy with tourists, February comes right at the end of the high season, so things are dying down a little. This means you can still enjoy all the best things to do in Phuket from lazing about the pristine beaches or island hopping to enjoying the free-spirited nightlife or taking in the culture in Phuket Old Town. Some of the best islands to explore include Koh Yao Noi, Koh Racha, Koh Phi Phi or those in Phang Nga Bay. And we always recommend a visit to Sri Panwa, especially the rooftop bar which has some of the best views of the Andaman Sea. Find your ideal hotel in PhuketBooking.com SingaporeDaily average temperatures in February: High 89°F (32°C) / Low 76°F (24°C) One of the top warm places in February is definitely the city-state of Singapore. The Northeast Monsoon season comes to an end during this month, so while there is some rain, it’s worlds apart from the downpours of the previous month. As the month progresses, you can expect less rain. February is also Singapore’s least humid time of year, which is greatly welcomed in such a tropical equatorial country. The temperatures are still super warm, so exploring the hiking trails and Singapore’s parks like MacRitchie Reservoir or Labrador Nature Reserve should be reserved for early morning or late afternoon. As should exploring the outside of Sentosa Island. The rest of the time you can explore all the most famous sites like Haji Lane, Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay (especially the temperature controlled Flower Dome), the multitude of museums and art galleries, or the various Hindu and Buddhist temples. If it does rain, fear not as there are so many indoor activities to do in Singapore when it rains like getting lost in the eccentric Mustafa center. With all the things to do in Singapore, it’s unlikely you’ll get bored.

Four of the largest and most popular islands include St Croix, St Thomas, St John and Water Island. While the festive season is in the past, February still sees the “Christmas Winds”, which brings through a welcoming evening breeze. St Croix is a fun place to visit in February with annual events including AgriFest, a local produce and market festival and Mardi Croix, a mini Mardi-Gras. St Thomas is a stopover island for many of the cruise ships, but you can visit some of the off-the-beaten paths among the natural beauty when exploring solo. St John is less touristy where you can do some snorkeling, chill on the white-sand beaches or hike through the lush, tropical Virgin Islands National Park.

It’s a very popular vacation destination for European families due to its close proximity to the Western part of the continent. Temperatures in February are mild, so you can explore the beaches by day, get a little hiking done, or do some whale and dolphin watching at Costa Adeje, which lasts the entire year. While it is a family-friendly destination, there are also world-class restaurants like the Michelin-starred Kazan, luxe hotels including the The Ritz-Carlton, Abama, and adults-only resorts in picturesque villages like Boutique Hotel San Roque in Garachico for those solo travelers looking for a great destination.

The entire island of Jamaica is perfect for a winter stopover from the all-inclusive resort cluster in Montego Bay, to the diving and snorkeling sites of Negril. Take a deep dive not only into the magical blue waters but also the lively culture that Jamaica is famous for. From the enthralling Reggae music to the most delicious cuisine including Ackee and codfish, Jerk chicken, Oxtail or Curry. Laze back into the unique island rhythm while sipping rum under a thatched-roof hut as you forget about the icy snow storms back at home.

Rainfall is at its lowest of the year during the second month, so you can relax on the beach from sunrise to sunset. Not only is the weather hot, but the people are infamously warm and friendly too. Dive deep into the history and culture of this very unique country, which is a blend of European, African and Taíno elements. It only takes around 6 hours to drive from one end of the country to the other, so you can really explore all the hidden gems with almost no effort. But the place where you’ll base yourself is most likely the resort town of Punta Cana that boasts a 32km stretch of beaches with crystal clear waters along La Costa del Coco (Coconut Coast). Try your hand at zip-lining, windsurfing, kayaking or sailing. Find your ideal hotel in Punta CanaBooking.com Easter Island, ChileDaily average temperatures in February: High 81°F (27°C) / Low 68°F (20°C) Another one of the best warm places in February is the iconic Easter Island of Chile. This bucket list destination lies in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean and is most famous for its iconic Easter Island Heads or Moʻai (pictured above), carved by the Rapa Nui people some time between the years 1250 and 1500. But once you’ve visited the Heads there is plenty to do, especially if you’re a surfer or diver. You can actually be escorted on a guided diving adventure to see the additional Moʻai underneath the water near Hanga Roa. The weather is nice and balmy as the sweltering heat of summer has finally passed by. So it’s a great time to take a slow stroll along the north-west coastal path to explore the fallen Mo’ai, the gorgeous pastures or the jaw-dropping South Pacific scenery. Find your ideal hotel in Easter IslandBooking.com Rio De Janeiro, BrazilDaily average temperatures in February: High 88°F (31°C) / Low 76°F (24°C) Only one thing comes to mind when mentioning February in Brazil – Carnival! With the busiest time of the year also comes the most colorful and festive. What you’ll get are a host of different parades, street parties and the constant beat of the samba drums. Although some of the most luxurious resorts along the Copacabana like the Belmond Copacabana Palace or the Ocean Spa Suites offer tranquility and extravagance, now is not really the time for relaxing. Join the biggest party on earth at the Sambadrome as you watch in awe all the marvelous parade floats, sexy samba dancers and extravagant costumes.

So visiting India in February will have a range of temperatures from highs of 90°F (32°C) in the south to 34°F (1°C) in the north. There are several amazing warm places in February to visit in India, but we’d like to recommend you go more south and possibly stay by the ocean. The summer months can get a bit extreme in certain places, so it’s a great time to experience the south of India without constantly sweating. While you could go party it up in Goa, a quieter spot to visit is Gokarna just south in the state of Karnataka. While quite busy, this town has some perfect beaches to relax at as well as top-notch hotels like Kahani Paradise, right by the aptly named Paradise. Over to the east coast, but basically on the same latitude and therefore the same temperatures, is Chennai in Tamil Nadu. There are also some great beaches in Chennai, but the best part about visiting Chennai in February is that you can visit all of the best temples at the Mahabalipuram UNESCO site without absolutely dehydrating.

We prefer the latter option as the rain and monsoon weather can really dampen your time (pun intended) as activities become difficult to accomplish. February is the perfect time to visit Laos as the weather is still super warm during the day with a milder evening temperature. This means you can explore the country at your leisure, no matter if you’re the intrepid type looking to hike, cycle and spelunk or if you’re more into the culture and just want to sightsee or laze down the Mekong What you’ll find in Luang Prabang are a plethora of ancient Buddhist temples like Wat Xieng Thong and Wat Mai, great kayaking opportunities along the Mekong, trekking around Phousi Mountain or Kuang Si Waterfalls, or taking a stroll through the Handicraft Night Market. Find your ideal hotel in Luang PrabangBooking.com Hoi An, VietnamHoi An sunset Daily average temperatures in February: High 79°F (26°C) / Low 68°F (20°C) If you don’t like blistering heat and sweating constantly, then try to make it to Central Vietnam in February. Just like Laos, Vietnam experiences two monsoon seasons depending on where you’re heading to. There’s the south or southwesterly monsoon from May to September near Ho Chi Minh and the northeast monsoon from October to April around Hanoi. As Hoi An is right in the center of the country you’ll see most of the rainy days between September and January. This means that February is the perfect time to visit Hoi An and the surrounding coastal cities of Da Nang and Hue with the world cultural heritage area of My Son. Central Vietnam is extremely rich in heritage and history. There are four UNESCO World Heritage Sites and was an important center of political influence during the Champa Empire, so it is the Cultural capital of Vietnam. You can explore the ruins of ancient temples in My Son, the beach resorts of Da Nang, the culturally-rich imperial city of Hue, UNESCO My Son and the lantern-filled streets of Hoi An. Find your ideal hotel in Hoi AnBooking.com Galle & Yala, Sri LankaDutch Fort and beaches of Galle Daily average temperatures in February: High 86°F (30°C) / Low 75°F (24°C) The best time to travel around Galle and Yala in Sri Lanka is definitely in the drier months which are from December to April. This makes Galle one of the most beautifully warm places in February to visit. Sri Lanka has a lot to offer due to its very unique Portuguese, Dutch and British colonial history combined with the local culture. You can visit historic sites like the Dutch Fort and Groote Kerk (the Dutch Reformed Church), take a quaint bike ride around the lagoon, or canoe and even mountain bike around magical Unawatuna which is home to the Japanese Peace Pagoda. Funnily enough, the famous historic 5-star seafront hotel Galle Face Hotel is actually in Colombo, the capital and only a 2hr drive up north. Uga Chena Huts near Yala Over to the east is the absolutely gorgeous Yala, situated within the Lunugamvehera National Park. This is one of the only spots in South Asia where you can go on safari to see all kinds of wildlife, but the most elusive and prized animal you may get to see is the Sri Lankan leopard. In fact Yala has the highest concentration of leopards in the world! Originally a hunting grounds for the British elite during colonial times, it is now a protected park with 44 mammal species and 215 bird species. So you can see deer, water buffalo, elephants and more. Go for a day trip to Yala’s Block 1 to see the wildlife or stay longer at Block 5 in one of the magically luxe hotels. We would highly recommend a stay at Uga Chena Huts, very close to Block 1 as it really is an out of this world stay.

The fact is, we couldn’t just choose only one spot in India’s beautiful Rajasthan as there are so many amazing places to visit during the cooler months of winter. Generally Rajasthan is best visited when the temperatures are cooler, from November to February, as it can get a bit extreme when the heat arrives. Unlike some Indian states which are very large in length and can therefore vary in temperature, Rajasthan is wider and therefore shares even temperatures throughout. While warm during the day, nights can get pretty cold, so you should prepare for this. There are four cities we would recommend you visit on your winter journey to Rajasthan – Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur and Jaisalmer. Each is known for its unique features, so you can spend time at one only or visit them all on a massive trip around Rajasthan, depending on your time and budget. Jaipur is known as the Pink City due to the exclusive color of the architecture, particularly the iconic Hawa Mahal. The entire walled city is in fact a UNESCO heritage site with major sites that include Amer Fort, Jaipur City Palace, the floating Jal Mahal, Jaigarh Fort, the Panna Meena Ka Kund or Chand Baori stepwell and Nahargarh Fort. Udaipur is the City of Lakes, due to its cluster of man-made lakes. One of the first Hollywood movies set in India was shot here, which is 1983’s James Bond Octopussy. Lake Pichola is one of the best with the iconic Taj Lake Palace (Jag Niwas) and Jagmandir, which was the Maharana pleasure palace and is said to be the inspiration for the Taj Mahal. In contrast to Jaipur’s pink, Jodhpur is the emblematic Blue City due to the Brahmin houses that surround the towering red Royal Mehrangarh Fort. After getting all your content for Insta at the various blue houses, take a look at the Ghanta Ghar clock tower, shop at Sardar market, get some more content at Toorji-Ka-Jhalra stepwell, or even zip-line around the fort. Finally you can visit Jaisalmer or the Golden City, very close to the Pakistani border. Once a thriving city along the Silk Road, Jaisalmer is now visited mostly for its glorious architectural marvels as well as its unique desert location along the outskirts of the inhospitable Thar Desert.

We can personally attest to this, it is a very spiritual moment. You can do exactly this during a visit to Siem Reap as it is one of the most popular warm places in February to visit. December and January is peak tourist season as the weather is generally milder than the summer months and the Mango Showers haven’t arrived yet in April, which is a prelude to the monsoon season. February is therefore an amazing time to visit Siem Reap as the tourists have started to peter out, but it is still busy enough that the entire city is operating at full capacity. When visiting Siem Reap, it is highly recommended that you get a tour guide from an established company as they are very knowledgeable about the history and have plenty of Cambodian facts. Decide whether you’d like to go on the large or small circuit, or even both. There is plenty to do in Siem Reap beyond visiting the various temples like Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Ta Prohm, like visiting the hip Kandal Village, the infamous Pub Street and Sok San Road (Bar Street), watching an Apsara performance or Phare, The Cambodian Circus, and visiting the various museums.

Beyond its glitzy Middle Eastern neighbours Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Oman has a more laid-back feel with a deep heritage and captivating landscapes. As it’s winter, the otherwise blistering hot Middle Eastern country is relatively cool and breezy. Explore sites like the glamorous Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the bustling Mutrah where you can explore the Mutrah Corniche, Muttrah Fish Market and Muttrah Souq, the various forts that dart the city and end your day of the epic Chedi Muscat for luxe while floating on the longest swimming pool in the Middle East. Beyond Muscat, go up north to the Musandam Governorate, which is known as the “Norway of Arabia” due to its fjord-like inlets called khors and desolate mountainscapes. You can even go dolphin watching here. Explore Wahiba Sands desert on a 4×4 adventure, which have sand dunes, salt flats and Bedouin desert dwellers.

It’s known as the driest place on earth which rarely rains or snows. But just because it’s dry, doesn’t mean it’s lifeless and desolate. In fact, it’s overflowing with life, from the diverse flora and fauna to the small villages at 4,000m above sea level. The unique landscapes are jaw-dropping with the vast salt flats, active geysers and intense blue lagoons by day and the epic star constellations by night. The most popular season for visiting the Atacama Desert are the summer months of December, January, and February where temperatures are gloriously warm in the day, but can get freezing at night. Find your ideal hotel in Atacama DesertBooking.com Sossusvlei & Etosha, NamibiaHot air ballooning in Sossusvlei Daily average temperatures in February: High 82°F (28°C) / Low 63°F (17°C) While February in Namibia is the wettest, hottest and most humid month in Namibia, it is also the cheapest time to visit the country. By far one of the hottest places in February, Namibia experiences the low season, so while it is trickier to spot wildlife at Etosha National Park, it is birthing season, so if you’ll probably see some newborn antelope calves, giraffes and ellies. There are also plenty of migratory birds stopping over. The summer rains also cool the desert down a bit, so you can explore the arid Sossusvlei. Indeed Sossusvlei is actually a great year-round destination as there are less dramatic changes between the seasons, so your experience will be similar no matter the time of year. Visit the otherworldly Deadvlei or the massive Dune 45 or go for an epic hot air balloon ride over the desert. Stay at a desert location for the night where you can see the stars as clear as you’ve ever seen them.

Definitely not one of the warm places in February by any means, it’s much easier to visit when the temperatures are higher. This is a bucket list destination for anyone who is in love with Arctic wildlife, particularly penguins and the new born pups in their natural habitat. Go kayaking along the icebergs, hiking in the snow, cruising among untouched sea ice on a zodiac or check out the Midnight Sun. This will be a once in a lifetime experience for sure. We have our very own Bucket List Antarctic excursions which you can join.

Buenos Aires, ArgentinaEl Ateneo Grand Splendid in Buenos Aires Daily average temperatures in February: High 82°F (28°C) / Low 68°F (20°C) Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina and in our humble opinion one of the most fascinating cities in Latin America. We loved indulging in the opulent food (pizza, gelato, grilled meats, dulce de leche), exploring the rich heritage with strong Spanish but also Italian influences, and learning about the various cultural offerings (there are more theatres than any other city outside New York, more bookstores per capita than anywhere else). It is a walkable city at any time of the year, but February is perfect to stroll around, day or night, as the weather is fantastic if not a little high when the sun is up. What you get in Buenos Aires is a fantastic example of city life with museums like Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and Museo de Arte Hispanoamericano Isaac Fernández Blanco, Baroque architecture like the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, as well as exploration at unique sites like Recoleta Cemetery, El Ateneo Grand Splendid or Palacio Barolo, which is a homage to the Divine Comedy.

Particularly gorgeous destinations any area along the beaches of La Libertad, from the El Tunco to Playa San Diego with the lazy beaches and popular surf retreats. La Ruta de Las Flores is a wonderful way to discover El Salvador’s heritage, culture, food and traditions. This area is basically the country’s coffee route, where you can find many coffee plantations to go and sample the black gold.

The capital of Willemstad is known for its pastel-colored colonial architecture, the floating Queen Emma Bridge, as well as the 17th-century Mikvé Israel-Emanuel Synagogue with its sand floor. You can do some diving along the coral reefs at Blue Bay or laze about at any of the idyllic Caribbean beaches like Playa PortoMari, Cas Abao, Kenepa, Mambo or Playa Lagun.

In fact, if you don’t count Australia as an island (as it’s a continent) then Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world after Greenland, New Guinea and Borneo. Due to its location in the Indian Ocean and isolated state for about 88 million years, many of its plants and animals are unique to the island. The most stand-out of which are the baobab trees and lemurs. While many spots are popular to visit, we would suggest going to the Tsingy De Bemaraha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, if you only had one place to explore. It’s most well-known for its limestone formations but also has 11 species of lemur including the fat-tailed dwarf lemur, decken’s sifaka, Cleese’s woolly lemur, grey mouse lemur, red-fronted brown lemur, and Sambirano lesser bamboo lemur. If you base yourself in Morondava you can also visit Baobab Avenue, the most accessible place to see the beautiful trees and to get to Tsingy. It does take 13 hours though unless you can fork out for a chartered plane!

Exceptionally warm weather in 2019
In 2019, exceptionally hot weather occurred across Europe in June and July, leading to record-breaking high temperatures. A record-breaking warm spell also occurred in February.
February
At the end of February, exceptionally high temperatures occurred throughout Europe. In several countries, records for all February months or even entire winters (December, January, February) were observed. In the United Kingdom, for example, the temperature in London reached 21.2°C on 26 February, breaking the country’s record for the warmest winter day based on daily maximum temperatures. On 27 February, the highest ever recorded country-wide winter temperature for the Netherlands was observed, with a measurement of 20.5°C at Arcen. This warm spell was the result of a high-pressure system over western Europe which led to warm winds from the south and to an almost cloudless atmosphere with abundant sunshine.

In the last week of June, exceptionally high temperatures occurred over central and southwestern parts of Europe. Locally, maximum temperatures reached values of 40°C or more. Daily average temperatures between 25 and 29 June were largely around 7°C above the average for the 1981-2010 reference period, and locally as much as 9°C above average. As a result, numerous June records and some all-time records for daily maximum temperature were broken at individual stations.
Some country-wide records were also broken, for example in France, where the all-time temperature record at Gallargues-le-Montueux, near the city of Montpellier, was broken on 28 June with a measurement of 45.9°C. In other countries, such as Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy, Slovenia and Croatia, new station records for June were set; some were also all-time record temperatures for the stations. In Switzerland, for example, new June records were confirmed at more than 40 stations and new all-time records were confirmed at six mountain stations.
In Austria, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Germany, the average temperature for June 2019 made it the warmest June ever recorded.

From 24 to 26 July, exceptionally high temperatures occurred over a large part of western Europe. All-time records for daily maximum temperatures, which had been broken by the heatwave just the month before, were again surpassed.
In the Netherlands and Belgium, for the first time since the beginning of their country-wide measurements (in 1901 and 1833, respectively), the daily maximum temperature exceeded 40°C. New records were set on 25 July, with 40.7°C at Gilze-Rijen in the Netherlands and 41.8°C at Begijnendijk in Belgium.
Luxembourg saw a new record of 40.8°C at Steinsel, as did the United Kingdom, which reached 38.7°C at the Cambridge Botanic Gardens. In western Germany, many stations measured three consecutive days of more than 40°C. A new all-time record for Germany was set at Lingen, not far from the Dutch border, at 42. 6°C. The northern part of France also saw many station records, for example with 42.6°C at Paris-Montsouris. The heatwave extended all the way to Scandinavia. Areas of Norway and Sweden north of the Arctic Circle experienced their highest temperatures ever recorded, with 34.6°C at Saltdal and 34.8°C at Markusvinsa.
During the whole summer (June, July, August), maximum temperatures were locally 6°C to 8°C higher than the average warmest day in a year for the reference period of 1981-2010.

Daily temperature records highlight European warming
The record high temperatures in February, June and July 2019, over extensive areas of Europe, are consistent with a warming climate. This can be quantified using the European-average of maximum temperatures, which saw records for several single days broken during the year. On 12 separate days, the European-average temperature reached a high for that calendar day since measurements began in 1950, and on no days was a record low value seen (see the figure below).
Daily high and low temperature records are usually broken every year. One method to evaluate whether the number of records in a specific year is particularly high or low is to compare this number with the theoretical value in the absence of climate change. The figure below provides this theoretical number and the actual observed number of heat and cold records for individual days since 1950. It appears that in the last 30 years the number of daily high temperature records is much larger than the theoretical value, and the number of daily low temperature records is much smaller. This clearly highlights the warming of Europe in recent decades and the effect this has on the frequency with which daily heat records are broken.

The graph shows how often in a year record high (in red) and record low (in blue) daily maximum temperatures are measured. The black lines indicate an estimate of what the numbers would be in the absence of climate change. Source: KNMI/E-OBS.
HOW THE THEORETICAL VALUE IS ESTIMATED There are many methods available for estimating a theoretical number of temperature records in a year, assuming a stationary climate, e.g. without man-made climate change. Here, the following simple statistical method is used: In the first year of a time series, all days break a record, so the number of records is 365. In the second year, about half of these records are broken, so the theoretical number of records is 365/2. In the third year, about one in three days will set a record, so the theoretical number is 365/3, etc. For a series starting in 1950 like the E-OBS dataset, the theoretical number of records in year Y, in the absence of climate change, is 365/(Y-1949). |
Circulation
The high temperatures at the end of June and the end of July resulted from similar high-pressure systems over Europe, with low-pressure systems west and east of it. This weather pattern is called an omega block, as it looks similar to the Greek letter omega (Ω). It led to hot air masses from Africa being transported to Europe with a southerly wind. There are no clear indications that this circulation pattern becomes more likely in a warmer climate, but in a warmer climate the associated already-hot air masses will become even warmer.
An area of high pressure located over France and adjacent regions brought hot air masses in from Africa. The blue and red lines show the 500 hPa geopotential height (decametres) averaged from 25 to 29 June 2019. The thick black line indicates an omega block. The winds blow around the area of high pressure, bringing hot air masses from Africa over the Mediterranean Sea to Europe (as indicated by the red arrow).

Heat stress during the summer heatwaves
The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) can be used to infer weather-induced, outdoor thermal stress and discomfort in human beings, by classifying heat and cold stress into ten different categories. During the two heatwaves in June and July, the second highest UTCI category of ’very strong heat stress’ was reached in large parts of western Europe over several consecutive days. Large areas from the south to the far north of Europe saw some level of heat stress during the same period. During the June heatwave, a number of small regions in Spain, France and Italy even reached the highest category of ’extreme heat stress’ at least once.

21 Offbeat + Cheap European Destinations to Visit
Among frequent budget travelers, Europe has developed a bit of a reputation for being amazing, but expensive. That being said, there are still some truly incredible cheap European destinations to enjoy!
True, you’re not going to find prices comparable to Laos or Guatemala here, but with roughly 50 countries, Europe is absolutely home to hidden (and not-so-hidden) gems that you can enjoy for prices far less than the famously high costs of London or Stockholm.
To help inspire everyone (including ourselves!) to think outside the box for their next budget Europe getaway, we got together with several other travel bloggers and asked them where they would go in Europe with a maximum budget of $40/person/day.
The answers include everything from some of the cheapest cities in Europe to budget-friendly beach towns, hailing from all corners of the continent.
Unsurprisingly, destinations in Eastern Europe and the Balkans were the favorite picks, but several surprisingly cheap places in Europe lurking in Western and Central Europe did sneak in as well.
Here are some of the cheapest places in Europe to consider for your next budget getaway!

Cheap European Destinations in the Balkans + East
Tallinn, Estonia
From Danielle of Like Riding a Bicycle
Tallinn is a beautiful and cheap city to visit, and I absolutely adored it–this coming from someone who detests cities!
The old town takes you back in time and is an amazing experience.
Climb to the top of the hill and see the old rooftops of the old town with a backdrop of modern sky rises–it’s a trip for sure!
Hostels were cheap at around 10 euros per night, and the food was ridiculously inexpensive.
You can check out Patarei Prison, an abandoned Soviet-era prison, for just a couple of euros too!
In the town square of the old town, they often have things like free open-air concerts, which you can watch from one of the many bars located in the area.
Cluj-Napoca, Romania
From Nicole of Family with Latitude
Cluj-Napoca is a beautiful city perfect for a laid-back visit. It is the second-largest city in Romania but still has a small-town feel and it is very easy to walk around.
The older Hungarian architecture is contrasted by the Soviet-era buildings. It is also a very affordable city to visit. My family of 4 visited for less than $30 per person per day over the course of a month.
A top-rated Airbnb apartment for 2 people only costs about $25-40 a night.
Eating and drinking in Cluj-Napoca are very affordable as well. Breakfast from a little bakery might be only $1-2. A sit-down lunch or dinner is usually $5 or less for an entrée and a beer or cider might cost you $1 more. A large pizza is about $4.
Many attractions are free, and the ones that aren’t are very reasonable. The botanical gardens are less than $2 to visit.
Borovets, Bulgaria
From Hannah of Adventure Travel Family
Ideal for summer or winter breaks, the small town of Borovets in Bulgaria is perfect for outdoor adventurers.
I loved taking our children skiing down the mountains, snow-shoeing through pine forests, and watching little ones play in the snow park. In summer, naturalists can enjoy bear-watching excursions and visits to mountain lakes.
You can also easily take a day trip to the Bulgarian capital of Sofia for those who fancy a day in the city.
The town has a great variety of accommodation from budget to luxury, but generally, food and entertainment are extremely cheap.
A traditional lunch sets you back around £5, while dinner at a tavern comes to £10. International restaurants change slightly more but personally, I would pick the hearty Bulgarian food any day!
There are also small supermarkets if you prefer to self-cater and these are exceptionally budget-friendly.
Hotel rooms start from around £20 although flatshares can be cheaper. Bulgaria is a perfect offbeat European destination to visit if you are looking for a good time without blowing the bank!
Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina
From Jub of Tiki Touring Kiwi
I sit here in Kotor and can’t help but think back to Sarajevo where I spent 10 glorious days. I spent about 18 euros a day without thinking about it.
I stayed in dorms paying 7 – 9 euro/night, but you can find private rooms for 10 euro in the city center.
I love Sarajevo as it’s very walkable, with all the amenities you need, yet there are mountains surrounding the city where you can go on an adventure within minutes.
The people smile as you walk down the street and are happy to have a chat. This can’t be said everywhere.
In terms of food, you can eat in Bosnia for as little as 1.50 euro and have a meal that will fill you up for half the day.
There are a lot of cafes and restaurants offering good-sized (and quality) meals from 2 – 3 euro. Beer will cost you 1.50 – 2.50 euro in most places and a tram or bus ride is less than a euro regardless of the distance.
Now, if they only banned smoking inside the bars–but that’s a small price to pay to get to enjoy visiting a city that is simultaneously one of the most interesting and one of the cheapest places to visit in Europe.
While you’re in Bosnia and Herzegovina, don’t miss the beautiful city of Mostar, either.
Vlorë, Albania
From Iris of Mind of a Hitchhiker
As Albania’s third-largest city, Vlorë is relatively unknown to foreigners–and yet, its undiscovered status makes it one of the best cheap European destinations to visit.
With stunning views along the Albanian Riviera, travelers looking for an offbeat Europe beach trip are bound to fall in love with Vlorë.
While on the whole Albania is very doable on a tight budget, Vlorë has an amazing range of whole-apartment Airbnbs with a sea view for under $20.
Make it your base of operations for exploration of the Zvërnec peninsula, the ruins of Oricum and Kaninë castle, and the recently opened Karaburun-Sazan National Marine Park.
Head south along the coastal road and you’ll find the fantastic beaches of Dhërmi and Himarë if you wish to venture further out.
Inside the city are various monuments to Albania’s independence from the Ottoman Empire, which was signed here.
Sights and activities inside town include visiting the 500-year-old Muradie mosque, strolls along the boulevard, and fetching groceries at little markets.
Eating out isn’t too expensive either, whether it’s restaurant or street food. Tipping is not expected in Albania.
Albanian cuisine mixes the best of the Mediterranean and Balkan; think dolma, burek, and prosciutto. You’ll have access to quality coffee, both Turkish and Italian style.
Kyiv, Ukraine
From Kamila of Kami & The Rest of the World
The entire country of Ukraine is a great value for money and is definitely among the cheapest countries in Europe to visit.
Its capital city, Kyiv, is a perfect European city break destination where you can enjoy high standards for little money. The city really has a lot to offer, the variety of activities is enormous there and everything is more than affordable.
Top things to do in Kyiv include visiting the golden dome churches (part of UNESCO World Heritage List), admiring the impressive Soviet architecture, and enjoying one of the best street art scenes that I’ve ever seen!
When it comes to the prices you can find decent accommodation for less than $20 and get a solid lunch for $5, the metro ride is just $0,20.
I’ve been to Kyiv some 5 times and already have more trips planned.
I just love the vibe of the city, all the opportunities it has (whether it’s stunning architecture or cheap but delicious international cuisine), and well, the prices!
Novi Sad, Serbia
From Taiss of Together to Wherever
After our visit, we find ourselves always talking about how underrated Novi Sad is as a cheap European city break option.
Prior to meeting our Serbian friends, we had never even known of this cool Eastern European town, let alone consider visiting.
We didn’t really have any expectations other than spending some time with our friends but once we arrived, the town really impressed us and the costs made us wish we were staying longer than two days.
The chill vibe in this laid-back town was what really made an impact on us.
We loved hanging out at Liberty Square. You’ll find that locals gather here with friends, their families, and loved ones so it makes you feel like you’re experiencing the “real” Novi Sad rather than one catered toward tourists.
During the time we were there we ate at upscale restaurants where a meal (including a bottle of wine!) for four adults only cost $68 USD. You can imagine that it would only be cheaper than that if one wanted to be more conservative.
Our accommodations were also luxurious without breaking the bank. Our 3 bedroom Airbnb apartment in the heart of the historic center and walking distance from Liberty Square was under $40 USD /night.
Using that as a reference on the high end just shows how much cheaper you could find for something smaller.
Prizren, Kosovo
From Karen of Wanderlusting K
Prizren, Kosovo is one of the cheapest destinations in Europe to travel comfortably on a budget in.
This historic city is perfect for those doing a Balkan trip who are interested in history, hiking, and culture.
Prizren was an Ottoman city and you can still see some of the influences in its architecture. You can visit beautiful mosques, climb up to the fortress for an epic view of the city, and go hiking in the nearby Sar mountains.
Buses in Kosovo cost around 5 euros from Pristina. A hotel room is in the 20-35 euro range for a central hotel while you can have a hearty meal at a local restaurant for 5 euros.
Cafe culture is strong in Kosovo, so you’ll find affordable and tasty coffee shops to hang out in at night for a few euros.
If you’ll be in the Balkans, be sure to add Kosovo to your itinerary!
Cheaper Places in Southern Europe to Visit
Cabo de Gata, Spain
from Miguel at Travelsauro
There are plenty of hidden gems in Spain, and Cabo de Gata Natural Park is definitely one of them.
Cabo de Gata Natural Park is located in Almeria, in the southeastern part of Spain. It’s Andalucia’s largest coastal protected area, boasting wild and isolated landscapes with original geological features.
The park was formed due to volcanic activity. Thus, it features black sand beaches, huge cliffs, and sharp peaks.
In addition to the stunning landscapes, many traditional villages are scattered throughout the region, giving it a unique atmosphere.
Because it’s a protected area, those villages have managed to maintain their local style. Most of them have narrow alleys and small houses, all painted white.
I love Cabo de Gata because it’s a quiet place, a great destination for nature lovers who want to walk along the hills and enjoy the beach before returning to town and eating some delicious “tapas”.
If you compare it to other regions in Spain, you’ll find that it’s still very affordable. You can find a basic two-person room for $25, and get a meal for less than $8. Moreover, every time you ask for a beer or another drink, you’ll get a “tapa” for free!
Cortona, Italy
From Maegan of The Wanderlust Dietitian
Cortona, Italy is pure magic placed between Rome and Florence.
This small town is situated on a hillside overlooking the Tuscan Valley, and while it’s well-known among travelers, the fact that it takes slightly more effort to get to leaves it as a more offbeat European destination in the region as compared to say, Florence or San Gimignano.
This is the setting for Francis Maye’s novel Under the Tuscan Sun, which is one of the best books about Italy and is focused on her early years of renovating her beloved Italian villa, Bramasole.
If that is not enough to entice you, the people are the friendliest of anywhere in Italy, which is uber hard to beat.
The Piazza Signorelli in the city center holds a weekend market that rivals major European cities! Everything is within a steep walking distance of each other and the food is otherworldly.
We stayed at an Airbnb where we rented a spare room from a young family. This cost us $60 per night.
An Italian breakfast consists of a croissant and an espresso, which costs about 3 euros. The average lunch consists of a sandwich or small pizza for about 5-15 euros. Dinner will run you about 20-35 euros and the house wine is usually cheaper than bottled water.
Do factor in taxi services to take you down the mountain through the town of Camucia, this is where the train station is. A taxi will cost you about 10 euros depending on the weather and time of year.
There is a bus that runs every hour if you have the time and patience to wait on it, we did and only paid 1 euro.
Rural Algarve Coast, Portugal
From James of Portugalist
When most people think of the Algarve, they tend to think of beaches, high rises, and intoxicated holidaymakers. And yes, the coastal parts of the Algarve can be like this, especially during summer.
The rural Algarve is different, however. Where there are tourists, they are generally walkers, surfers, and nature lovers.
Outside of the hottest months, the Algarve is a fantastic walking region, with numerous short walks and several multi-day hikes like The Algarve Way and the Fisherman’s Trail.
Cost-wise, the rural Algarve can be among the cheapest places in Europe to visit.
A room on Airbnb averages between $10 and $20 and a lunch menu can run as cheap as $7-10 for three courses (including wine). For dinner, it’s possible for two people to eat out for $15.
The only downside to the rural Algarve is getting around. Public transport is possible, but prior preparation is needed, and renting a car is definitely easier.
Nicosia, Cyprus
From Rohan of Travels of a Bookpacker
Nicosia is one of the cheapest European destinations, especially on a beach, and boasts lots of great things to see and do.
The city is divided into two parts by the United Nations and each side has a very different culture.
In the north, you will find Turkish food, mosques, and the Turkish lira as the official currency.
However, the south serves wonderful Greek food and has a much more European feel. You will be asked for your passport when crossing the border, but you can do this as often as you like.
There are double rooms available in Nicosia from around €35 in the city center or good value Airbnb properties for less. Food is very affordable and there are lots of really cool cafes in the old town.
We found the north cheaper than the south side of the city. Lahmacun and burek (€2-4) are cheap lunch options on the go and a meal in a restaurant costs around €8.
Levanto, Italy
From Margherita of The Crowded Planet
Everyone seems to have the beautiful Cinque Terre on their European bucket list, and for good reason: the 5 coastal villages are among Italy’s prettiest sights, and when summertime comes, they become crazy busy!
A great alternative to staying in Cinque Terre is Levanto, another amazing seaside town right next to Monterosso, the westernmost Cinque Terre village.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that Levanto is one of the cheapest European destinations on the continent overall, however, as compared to its famous next-door neighbor, it’s an absolute bargain!
Staying in Levanto is far cheaper than in the Cinque Terre villages, and you can always head to Cinque Terre by train.
There is also lots to see and do in Levanto itself, with many adventure activities available.
You can go hiking, cycling, biking, diving, paddle boarding, and even surfing–Levanto is one of the best places in Italy for finding reliable surf.
Outside of the busiest month of July and August, you should be able to get a double room or Airbnb for under $50, and food won’t break the bank – a tasty slice of focaccia can be enjoyed for only a couple of euros!
Offbeat Places in West, Central + Northern Europe
Gutach, Germany
From Kaylie of Happiness Travels Here
Gutach is a small town positioned in the center of the Black Forest region of Germany.
With its central location, it is the perfect spot from which to explore the Black Forest on a budget.
The Black Forest is home to some of the best scenery in Germany, tree-covered hills and green valleys give way to small villages, inviting beer gardens in the summer, and traditional Christmas markets in the winter.
Most accommodations provide guests with the Konus Guest Card. This card allows free transportation on local trains and buses, as well as free or discounted admission to many local attractions, the most notable of which is the Black Forest Open-Air Museum.
When visiting the Black Forest stay at a farm stay, known in German as an ‘Urlaub am Bauernhof’. Essentially a bed and breakfast on a working or hobby farm they are very good value for money.
We stayed at Joklisbauernhof farm stay. For 15€ a night, per person, we were given a comfortable ensuite room and a hearty breakfast. Our hosts were even happy for us to take any leftover rolls and cold-cuts to be eaten later for lunch.
With a low-cost supermarket nearby and a communal kitchen, a wholesome dinner was prepared for only a few Euro. We enjoyed ourselves with a 2€ bottle of German Riesling and a view to the cloud-capped mountains across the valley, there were no sacrifices to be made here.
Heiligenblut, Austria
From Danielle of Ultimate Country Guides
While Austria is certainly not the cheapest place in the world, Heiligenblut is an absolutely idyllic town that can you visit on the cheap.
There’s so much nature around that the best thing to do is grab your tent and find a nice secluded place to camp.
The town is surrounded by hikes, and is even home to the tallest mountain in the Eastern Alps!
If you get your food from the grocery store and camp, and you can stay well below $40 a day while enjoying the majestic scenery that only the Austrian Alps can offer!
Ghent, Belgium
From Jenny of TraveLynn Family
The compact medieval city of Ghent, with its cobbled streets and fairytale charm, is often overlooked by travelers who make a beeline for Bruges.
But less than a 25-minute train journey away from its dominating neighbor, travelers are can discover the quaint canal-side architecture, edgy art scene, and quirky bars of Ghent, with fewer visitors and cheaper accommodation.
To keep costs down on your budget European getaway, but still experience the city in a festival season, January is the time to visit.
The Winter Festival is on embracing all things Christmas with sparkling light displays, traditional festive markets, an ice-rink, grotto, and Ferris wheel.
You can also visit Gravesteen (the medieval castle overlooking the city, showcasing weaponry and torture devices), take a boat trip around the central district, climb the Belfry on a clear day for panoramic views, or visit one of the superbly designed museums.
An absolute must-do is to hire a bike and tour the city’s vibrant street art.
Pick up a free Concrete Canvas Tour map from the Information Centre and follow the 14.5km self-guided tour. The artwork is forever changing as this is a city where street artists are free to decorate as they please.
We used Airbnb to keep accommodation costs down and still stay within a 20-minute walk to the city center. For food, enjoy a Bratwurst ($5 USD) or waffle ($3 USD) from a market stall. Bike hire costs $3.50 USD for 8 hours, with a registration cost of $14 USD.
Wroclaw, Poland
From Michael of The World Was Here First
Most travelers that come to Poland tend to only visit the city of Krakow, and while it is certainly beautiful, is also an extremely popular destination in Europe and it can get crowded.
A great off-the-beaten-track, and cheap European destination, that is an alternative in Poland is Wroclaw, conveniently located between Berlin and Krakow.
Wroclaw has a large population of young people, and there are many great things to do in this beautiful city.
I spent my days wandering around the beautiful Old Town (keeping an eye out for the many dwarf statues!), eating delicious and cheap food (definitely try some Polish kopytka!), gazing at street art, and simply getting swept up in the fantastic atmosphere that Wroclaw has!
A basic private room in Wroclaw through Airbnb will cost around €15-20 and there are many great cheap restaurants where you can get a good meal for €4-5, making it one of the cheapest cities in Europe to visit.
Most of the sites in Wroclaw are free to explore and there is even a number of free walking tours that you can take to delve deeper into the history of the city.
Kosice, Slovakia
From Viktor of Traveling Lifestyle
Kosice is the second biggest town in the Eastern part of Slovakia, and one of the best cheap European destinations to visit.
The center of the city is pretty small and walkable in one day, but you will fall in love instantly and want to walk by all of the places again.
In the middle of the old town, you can find St. Elizabeth’s Cathedral which is a must-see while in Kosice!
I really enjoyed the views from Cathedral’s tower as well, and it cost only 3 euros. Right next to the Cathedral you can find a singing fountain and a beautiful theatre.
If you are a fan of sports, make sure you stop at Peace Marathon Square which is the oldest in Europe, and the second oldest in the world. Once you walk the main street, head to small side streets like Kovacska, Hrnciarska, and at the end of Mlynska visit majestic Jakab’s Palace.
The city offers various places to eat with cuisines from all around the world.
Lunch menus cost only 3-5 euros and dinner will cost you around 5-7 euros. For the most traditional kitchen, head to the restaurant called “Mlyn” which is highly recommended by locals and me as well.
Prices of the hostels start at 10 euros and private rooms are around 20 euros, depending on the season.
Vent, Austria
From Tom of Traveltomtom
For hiking lovers who really want to escape the crowd in Europe, Vent is the ultimate place to go.
This tiny village with only a handful of farms, a couple of hotels, some guesthouses, and a church is situated at the end of a road up into the mountains close to the Italian border.
This Austria town is a world-class hiking destination and the perfect base if you want to hike up to the highest mountain in Tyrol: the Wildspitze.
Most hikers start early in the morning for an 8-10 hour hike with almost 2,000 altitude meters and a length of 17 kilometers.
The views up on top are to die for and the best of all this is a free activity. Make sure you are well equipped this is not an easy hike!
Vent is a popular and reasonably cheap place in Europe in either summer or winter, but price levels are a little lower during winter.
To stay overnight in Vent we paid just under $20 per person/per night, and meals including drinks won’t cost more than $10.
Budapest, Hungary
From us!
After our second visit to Hungary when we spent two weeks enjoying all that Budapest has to offer, we are still as crazy about it (and its prices!) as ever–among summer European getaways (or any time of year, really), Budapest will always rank as one of our favorites.
Whether you’re looking for delicious food, captivating history, stunning architecture, Budapest’s photogenic sights, or offbeat exploration, Budapest has it all.
Best of all, the city has enough to do that it is the perfect place for a longer stay–and slower European travel is almost always cheaper European travel.
Our Airbnb was one of our favorite bargains in Budapest–for a total cost of $43/night (including taxes and fees!), we stayed in a gorgeous renovated apartment just a couple of blocks away from St. Stephen’s Basilica.
Transportation is also very affordable, with one week passes to Budapest’s transportation system (buses, trams, and subways) running less than $20/person.
Some items are a little more of a splurge–a visit to one of the better-known thermal baths will set you back almost $20/person–but affordable travel is very accessible in Budapest, and the city is absolutely worth a visit!
For something even more off the beaten path, try out some of the hiking trails near Budapest–they won’t disappoint!

RELATED POST: 33 Hidden Gems in Europe
1. Georgia
Recommended by: Emily from Wander-Lush
There are few destinations in Europe where you can stretch your dollar further than Georgia. Tourism is taking off in the former Soviet Republic, and travelling in Georgia has never been safer or more affordable.
Georgia’s greatest virtue is its natural beauty, which is completely free to enjoy. Hiking in the Caucasus mountains (Svaneti is a popular choice), biking around the Javakheti lakes and if it’s the right season, skiing, are among the top things to do.
Intercity marshrutka buses cost between 0.50 cents and 5 Euros depending on the journey. Car hire is also incredibly cheap if you opt for a local company. The accommodation of choice is family-run guesthouses, which offer cosy private rooms and a generous home-cooked breakfast for around 20 Euros/night.
Even the capital, Tbilisi, is affordable. Expect to pay around 15 Euros for a restaurant meal for two, and a couple of Euros for a glass of local wine.
2. Malta
Recommended by: Michael, The World Was Here First
A great affordable country to visit in Europe is the island nation of Malta. While you can certainly have a luxurious stay here, you’ll find prices in Malta very reasonable if you want to visit on a budget.
If you love travelling to experience the local cuisine, visitors will find great value at many mid-range and high-end restaurants offering delicious fresh food. Similarly, drink prices are quite reasonable with many bars and restaurants offering happy hour specials.
If visiting on a budget, it’s best to avoid staying and eating in the capital of Valletta as prices are higher there. Travellers can save the most if they choose to stay a little bit away from the coastline on the main island or by choosing to stay on the smaller island of Gozo.
A budget of €65-70 per person per day for couples who want an occasional splurge is reasonable.
3. Bulgaria
Recommended by: Bilyana, Owl Over The World
Ortsevo, village in Rhodopes Mountain
When telling people about Bulgaria, I always highlight how budget-friendly destination the country is, and how much you can see and experience without spending too much.
In Bulgaria, you can easily find great, luxurious hotels for about £45 per night, or dine at fine restaurants for as little as £25-30 GBP for two people. On top of that, some of the best things to see and do in Bulgaria are absolutely free! That includes monuments, national parks, museum cities, and festivals.
Among all the beautiful places to visit in Bulgaria, the most affordable ones are in the Rhodopes region and in the North of the country. However, by the UK’s standards, even big resorts are very affordable. Many people are coming to the famous party resort of Sunny Beach, but this is the last place that I would recommend visiting. Instead, head to the South or North of the Black Sea Coast and checkout Sinemorets or Balchik.
If you’re into winter sports, you’ll love to come to Bulgaria. In Bansko, one of Europe’s top ski resorts, a day pass costs £32!
Pirin Mountain in Winter
4. Portugal
Recommended by: Sarah, CosmopoliClan
Its abundance of natural beauty makes Portugal a beloved European holiday destination. Unfortunately, most visitors don’t venture beyond the golden Algarve beaches. Yet travelling deeper, leaving behind the crowds and the sweltering heat, allows you to discover so much more while making your money go further.
OdeceixeLoulé
From the lagoons and deserted beaches of Portugal’s Ria Formosa Nature Reserve to the rolling wildflower-dotted sand dunes of the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park and from the mountainous green lands of the Azores to the adventurous trails meandering Peneda-Gerês National Park, the natural diversity is breathtaking.
You can find highly affordable lodging and inexpensive food in the white-washed villages and interesting towns along the way. Cosmopolitan cities such as Lisbon, Porto and Funchal are just as budget-friendly thanks to a vast range of accommodation and dinner options. This affordable European destination offers the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation and culture
5. Croatia
Recommended by: Ilse, Digital Travel Couple
Croatia can be a perfect European budget destination. With cheap flights departing from many European cities, you can book a return ticket to Croatia for less than €100.
The costs depend per season of course. May and September are both shoulder season months with lower prices than normal. But from October – March, which is the official low season, you will find the lowest prices.
An average private room costs around €20 – €30 and transport can be done by bus, ferry or rental car if you want to have some more flexibility. An average daily budget for Croatia is around €45 – €50 including accommodation.
If you rent a place with a kitchen you can save on going out for lunch and dinner. Groceries are the same price as anywhere else in Europe but restaurants are relatively inexpensive. This provides a good base for travelling on a budget in Europe!
6. Slovenia
Recommended by: Nichola, Globalmouse Travels
Slovenia is perfect as a destination for an affordable trip, the prices here are significantly lower than its surrounding neighbours, so this is one of the cheapest countries to visit in Europe.
Ljubljana is an overlooked capital city and is beautiful and packed full of history. Best of all the relative lack of tourists means prices for attractions and historic sites are much lower. Eating out, in particular, is so well priced throughout Slovenia. On our trip through Europe, we found the street food in Slovenia was the cheapest we’d come across!
Don’t miss Slovenia for a winter trip either. If you’re looking for the best ski resorts in Europe for families or couples, Slovenia is well worth considering. Beautiful resorts like Kranjska Gora boast prices significantly lower than its French and Austrian counterparts.
7. Lithuania
Recommended by: Stella Jane, Around the World in 24 Hours
Lithuania is a small but fascinating country and the perfect affordable European destination. The capital city, Vilnius, has stunning architecture, great street art, and delicious food for a fraction of the prices in many other European capitals.
Vilnius offers several pay-what-you-wish walking tours of both the historic district and the old Communist buildings. You can spend a lovely afternoon walking to the Three Crosses, which costs absolutely nothing. Vilnius also has a top-notch gourmet restaurant, Amandus, for about a third of what you would pay in a city like London or Paris.
Kaunas, Lithuania’s second-largest city, is just as affordable and interesting. It also has a vibrant street art scene, a beautiful Old Town, and the famous Liberty Boulevard, all of which cost nothing to visit. In fact, it’s possible to take an amazing trip to Lithuania without spending a single penny on attractions!
8. Spain
Recommended by: Joanna, the World in my Pocket
Spain is one of Europe most popular budget destinations, with millions of tourists choosing to spend their holidays here every year. One of the most popular destinations for tourists is Costa del Sol, in Southern Spain.
From all the airports around Andalucia, the cheapest one to fly to is Malaga, to which you can easily find flights for around £50 return with Ryanair, Easyjet or Norwegian. Malaga Airport is a 15-minute ride from the city.
Because there is so much competition among the thousand hotels in Southern Spain, you can book four- or five-star hotels for much less money than anywhere else in Europe.
For example, during one of my recent trips to Granada, I paid 70 euros for two nights in the four-star Barcelo hotel located in the centre of the city. Food in Andalucia is very affordable as well, with a three-course meal for two, with wine, in a restaurant, priced at around 40 euros.
Don’t forget to check the latest info before you fly, as you may need to complete the Spain health form prior to your travels.
9. Hungary
Recommended by: Angeline, Go Around Philippines
Hungary is one of the cheapest countries to visit in Europe. Here, you’ll find rich folk traditions still thriving yet also cosmopolitan enough with its vibrant nightlife and youthful crowd.
Its capital city – Budapest, is a delightful combination of two historical cities lying opposite each other over the Danube River. Buda shows its historical Buda castle and Pest’s side is flanked by the imposing Parliament building, busy streets and other buildings which still retain their centuries-old architectural heritage.
While all of these places filled the city, the countryside is also a charm with even older traditions and the local’s passion for winemaking and tasting. In Budapest, I was able to have a bowl of spicy goulash from $4-5 from a local restaurant.
You’ll find even fast-food dishes are also very affordable, from $3-4 dollars. Make sure to try palinka – as locals drink this before meal so cleanse their palate. Hungary is an awesome place to visit for a holiday and an affordable one at that.
10. Cyprus
Recommended by: Baia from Red Fedora Diary
If you‘re looking for affordable holiday destinations in Europe, consider spending your vacation in Cyprus. Rich in history, the country boasts gorgeous castles, the pristine shore of the Mediterranean, delicious cuisine, and warm weather conditions to name a few.
Prices here are similar to other mid-range European destinations. Transportation, food, and accommodation prices can range between 20-50 Euros depending on the city and what kind of a traveller you are, but it can definitely get cheaper. Inner-city bus tickets cost around 7 Euros round trip while dining out can be as low as 4-6 Euros.
And even more affordable is Northern Cyprus, a de facto state administered by Turkey, because of the devaluation of the Turkish Lira against Euro or US dollars. Despite the political situation, travelling here is absolutely safe, while there are plenty of things to do in Kyrenia, the main city of the region.
11. Albania
Recommended by: Arabela, Spicy Travel Girl
Albania is one of the cheapest countries to visit in Europe and a unique choice for every type of traveller. Whether you’re looking for crowd-free sand beaches with turquoise water and a hike in the country’s beautiful mountains for a fraction of the prices you’d pay in other countries, Albania will never disappoint you.
You can book entire apartments in Tirana for half of what you would pay at hostels in western Europe and take intercity buses across the country for nothing more than some spare change. Food prices are so low that you can enjoy a full BBQ feast for less than ten pounds! And most importantly, locals in this yet-to-be-discovered holiday destination are so hospitable that sometimes they might even surprise you with gifts!

Greece
Recommended by: Elena, Passion for Greece
Chrissi Island, Greece
Greece is a beautiful country with hundreds of destinations which cater to all tastes and budgets. Other than the islands of Mykonos and Santorini, which are considered to be very expensive for Greek standards, this country offers endless holiday destinations for those seeking a low-budget getaway. The major cities like Athens and Thessaloniki are particularly affordable, but there are also plenty of islands to explore whatever your budget.
The largest of the Greek islands, Crete is an example of such. Known for its captivating sceneries, diverse and delicious cuisine, exotic beaches and diverse landscape, archaeological sites and authentic hospitality, this island is definitely one of the most alluring destinations in Greece.
Crete at the same time is a low-budget friendly destination for Greek and for foreigners alike in terms of accommodation and food options. In any prefecture you choose to stay, Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, or Lasithi, you can find a range of good hotels or Airbnbs to rent for a week or more at low prices and exceptional service.
13. Poland
Recommended by: Or, My Path in the World
Whether you’re looking to go on a city break, visit charming small towns, take a road trip full of nature, or have a beach vacation, Poland is a budget-friendly country that has it all.
Poland is a part of the EU, but the local currency is Zloty (PLN), and £1 is worth about 5 Zloty. In big cities, you can find a central private double room or a fully equipped apartment for less than £25 per night, and in the countryside, the prices can get as low as £10! As for the food, it depends on the type of eatery, but even in big touristy cities, you can have a full meal for less than £10. Also, many attractions are free to visit.
From gorgeous cities like Gdansk and Warsaw to natural beauties like the Tatra National Park to resort towns like Sopot, you can enjoy the diversity of Poland without breaking the bank.
14. Serbia
Recommended by: Chrysoula, Historic European Castles
Serbia is often regarded as one of the cheapest destinations in Europe for a weekend break or summer getaway. With meals in a restaurant costing as little as €10 per person (cheaper for takeaway snacks), beers costing €1.5-2, and coffee just €1, you can see why it’s a popular budget getaway. The average price for a 4-star hotel is around €80 a night.
If those prices weren’t enough to lure you into booking a trip to Serbia, perhaps some of the things to see and do will help. Belgrade has a wealth of attractions such as the Kalemegdan Fortress and park, the Church of St Sava, the cafes and shops of Dorćol, and the Nikola Tesla Museum . Nearby, there’s also the Ada Ciganlija lakeside beach, the nearby suburb of Zemun, and Avala mountain.
Alternatively, there’s the second city, Novi Sad. Here you can explore Freedom Square, Bishop’s Palace, and Novi Sad Synagogue, many of which are free to visit.
15. Latvia
Recommended by: Coni, Experiencing the Globe
Latvia is not only is one of the cheapest countries within the Euro Zone, it’s full of interesting sights to boot!
For the ultimate budget-friendly holiday, base yourself in Riga and explore the chic Art Nouveau capital on foot. Get lost in the Old Town (or join a free walking tour) to see the amazing architecture that defines the city –don’t miss the House of the Black Heads and the Three Brothers. Don’t leave Riga without visiting the Museum of Occupation and the Corner House, to learn about the country’s tumultuous history.
From Riga you can explore some other Latvian sights on your own as day trips, for less than 10 euros each. Head to Jurmala for time at the beach, to Gauja National Park for a nature escape, or to Salaspils memorial if you’re interested in history.
If you want an even cheaper destination, and a countryside getaway, then Liepaja is the ideal place.
16. Bosnia and Herzegovina
Recommended by: Ellis, Backpack Adventures
Bosnia isn’t a very popular destination yet. But with incredible nature, lots of culture, and delicious food it makes for a perfect holiday. Being in the heart of the Balkans, this is where east meets west. Some of the highlights include the multicultural capital of Sarajevo, with its historic ottoman centre, and Mostar with its iconic bridge over the stunning Neretva river.
Bosnia is an all year round holiday destination. In summer, Bosnia’s green rolling hills, waterfalls and rivers offer a respite from the heat. Outdoor lovers will rejoice in the opportunities to go wild water rafting or hiking. In winter you can go skiing or snowboarding in the mountains.
The great thing about Bosnia is that you pay little, but get a lot in return. Going out for dinner is incredibly cheap and the bill rarely exceeds more than 10 Euros per person. Renting a car for a week is possible for less than 100 Euros. A double room in a mid-range hotel costs between 30 and 40 Euros.
17. Czech Republic
Recommended by: Adriana, Czech the World
The Czech Republic has long been known as one of the cheapest countries to visit in Europe – and it still makes a great budget option. You can enjoy delicious and cheap beer, historical towns, castles, chateaus as well as national parks.
The only non-budget-friendly exception is Prague city centre. If you are searching for accommodation there, try to look outside of the city centre. The same goes for restaurants, exchange offices, ATMs, etc. Don’t hesitate to jump on a train or bus and explore the country. The best and cheapest bus companies are RegioJet and Flixbus. There are many beautiful places to visit in the Czech Republic.
Average prices (outside of Prague city centre):
- 0,5l of draft beer in a restaurant: 1,5 euro
- A meal in a restaurant: 5-6 euro
- Regiojet train from Prague to Brno (205 km): 4-6 euro
- Ticket to a castle: 5-6 euro
- National Parks: free
- Apartment for 2: from 20 euro/night
18.
Romania
Recommended by: Jade, the Migrant Yogi
The Balkan country of Romania is one of the most underrated countries in all of Europe, not to mention one of the most affordable.
Romania boasts an abundance of nature, delicious traditional food, culture, history, and some of the friendliest people in Europe.
One of the things that makes Romania so affordable is that its currency is RON (lei). One euro is roughly 4.8 lei, enabling your travel budget to stretch quite far.
Dinner for two with drinks included will run you about 20 euro per person even in the most expensive Romanian cities, like Cluj-Napoca and Bucharest.
Even if you opt to stay in one of the major, expensive cities, a budget of 30-40 euro per person per day should be more than enough! Smaller cities such as Sibiu, Brașov, and Timișoara are more affordable and arguably more beautiful than their larger counterparts!
19. Canary Islands
Recommended by: Milene, Surf and Unwind
Located off the Northern African coast, you can’t really go wrong when choosing to travel to Gran Canaria, one of Spain’s Canary Islands.
Due to its location, the island boasts amazing weather all year round. So it’s not only a perfect winter sun destination when the weather gets miserable in the UK, but it’s also a more budget-friendly option during the summer months when the cost of travel soars in the Northern Hemisphere.
Resorts like Maspalomas or Playa del Inglés, very popular destinations amongst the Brit holidaymakers, can be slightly pricier than the rest of the island. So if you’re looking at saving some money on your trip, stay at nearby resorts like Bahia Feliz and Arguineguín. Or even consider the north of the island, like Agaete or Gran Canaria’s capital Las Palmas, which has great surf and one of the best city beaches in Europe.
20. Slovakia
Recommended by: Diana, Travels in Poland
Slovakia has amazing countryside with a lot of space to explore. One of the cheapest countries in Eastern Europe to visit, Slovakia has a lot to offer. Not only in major cities such as Bratislava, but especially in smaller towns. Tourists will find that their euros get them quite a bit more than many other places.
Food and beer are relatively cheap and great accommodations are budget-friendly even in the capital city. For a recent night’s stay, for 2 meals and 1 night’s accommodation, we spent just under $150 for 2 adults and 2 children.
Outside of the city, food and accommodation was even cheaper. Perfect for exploring Slovakia’s numerous caves, castles, and the Tatra mountains. Not to mention some of the amazing spas, particularly warm pool outdoor spas. These are particularly ideal in the middle of a European winter.
21. North Macedonia
Recommended by: Anuradha, Country Hopping Couple
North Macedonia is one of the least popular countries in Europe. But little do tourists know that this landlocked Balkan country has so much to offer and is also pocket friendly. The cost of transport, accommodations and food in North Macedonia are lowest in the Balkans, making it an affordable holiday destination in Europe.
Places like Skopje and Ohrid Lake can be slightly expensive. However, they are still a lot less in comparison with western European countries. A decent holiday apartment costs anywhere between £18-£25 per day. Food is also cheaper as many family-run small restaurants are scattered everywhere. Public transport is not developed, hence hiring a car is a wise choice, which costs approx £10 a day. Whether you want to sightsee Skopje, visit Mavrovo National Park or explore Lake Ohrid, you can experience them without having to spend a lot of Euros.

The Top 10 Best Holiday Destinations in February
February is a popular time of year for taking a holiday, particularly for families as UK schools break up for half term. However, if you’re able to travel outside of term time then your choices are endless. This is a great opportunity to escape what will hopefully be the last remaining winter chills and experience some much needed sun, before coming home to detect the first hints of spring on the horizon.
If you’re looking for the best holiday destinations in February, take a look at this selection – short haul, long haul, city culture or beach break, there’s something here to suit everyone.
New Orleans
A holiday in New Orleans must be one of travel’s big adventures. Famously known as the Big Easy, this hotbed of exotic culture, jazz music and ultra tasty Cajun cuisine is a huge draw for tourists at the best of times. But what makes it one of the best holiday locations in February is the presence of Mardi Gras, the spectacular carnival. Mardi Gras – also known as Fat Tuesday – is a must see in February and parades start a few days before the big event. It will be busy, but one amazing and unforgettable experience! If you’d rather visit New Orleans on the quieter side, go for the start of the month and breathe in the sights and sounds of attractions such as Jackson Square in the French Quarter. For a change of scene, head outside the city and take a tour around the Louisiana swamps.

Venice
Venice in Italy can be packed with tourists in the summer months but may be one of the best holiday locations in February. While you won’t exactly have this mystical Italy to yourself, the crowds thin out, hotels have availability, prices tend to be less expensive and you’ll have your pick of restaurants to eat out in. Make the most of it! Wrap up against the inevitable chill and take a walk around the Piazza San Marco, soaking up the atmosphere and architecture; at night, it’s not unusual for musicians to play. There are plenty of other gems in Venice, including the San Giorgio Maggiore bell tower and the Teatro La Fenice opera house. Of course, the best plan may be to simply meander around and see where Venice takes you.

Miami
Miami is a glorious holiday destination, an alluring combination of glamour and glitz, and retro charm in the form of the beautiful Art Deco buildings in the South Beach region. It’s definitely a contender as the best place to go on holiday in February as it offers the full holiday experience. It has a vibrant nightlife and extensive beaches – South Beach occupies three miles of Miami sand. Part of that area is Ocean Drive, a stretch of top class bars, hotels and restaurants. Spread out a little further and you’ll find Little Havana and the Wynwood Art District, and still further the Florida Keys and Orlando. March is Spring Break time in the USA so Miami will be full of students in party mode, as well as the Ultra Music Festival – so beat the rush and head there in February.

Dominican Republic
This is one of the Caribbean’s most popular islands, so it’s no surprise that it’s one of the best holiday destinations in February. For a holiday so laid back you’ll be virtually horizontal, the Dominican Republic is a wonderful choice with stunning beaches such as Punta Cana, Playa Dorada and Playa Boca Chica. It has a lively nightlife scene as well, with open air bar terraces enabling you to drink in the views as well as delicious cocktails, and some gloriously historic towns – capital city Santo Domingo is a must see with its fortress and churches. It’s perfect as an all inclusive holiday destination.

Canada
The best holiday locations in February don’t have to be those that deliver winter sun. Some of the finest offer snow instead! There are a number of great destinations which provide perfect skiing conditions. Canada’s British Columbia is one of those, headed up by Whistler, a town just north of Vancouver. For skiers and snowboarders, Whistler is a fantastic destination. Not only does it offer world-class skiing and snowboarding it also provides a host of other activities, including ice skating, winter bungee jumping, dog sledding and hockey tours. There’s ample opportunity to relax, too, with lots of restaurants, shops and spas. Banff, located in the National Park in Alberta, is another excellent location for a February holiday.

Mauritius
If it’s soaring temperatures and glorious sun you’re after, Mauritius is among the best holiday destinations in February. Seasons in the southern hemisphere are the opposite of those in the northern hemisphere (eg Europe) so its summer is from November to April – meaning the weather in February is usually hot and humid. If it’s a long and lazy sunbathing holiday you crave, this ticks the box in a big way but Mauritius also has plenty of fascinating sights to explore. Try the Rodrigues coastal walk if you can, a day or two exploring the bustling town of Port Louis, or indulge in some whale and dolphin spotting.

Benidorm
You may associate Benidorm with a brash seaside type of resort – overcrowded with tourists seeking all day breakfasts and cheap entertainment. Think again; while this sun-soaked Costa Blanca destination caters for all tastes it also has bags of charm and there’s a reason it’s always such a popular choice for holidaymakers. It entirely depends on what you’re looking for. With pleasant temperatures even in late winter and early Spring, it’s justifiably one of the best holiday destinations in February. It’s obviously quieter than in peak summer season but the beautiful sandy beaches remain and there are still plenty of bars and restaurants open. Exploring the fishing villages in and around Benidorm and the eastern Spanish coast – also known as the White Coast.

Paris
A trip to Paris is highly recommended at any time – there’s never really a reason not to go! But February, of course, means school half term holidays and that means that Disneyland Paris beckons. If you’ve never been before, it’s a must on the bucket list. For UK holidaymakers it’s so easy to reach with a short travel time, and kids will never forget the experience (not that Disneyland is exclusively for kids, of course!). To make a superb holiday, why not spend a few days in the resort and combine that with a few days staying in Paris? The French capital is, of course, one of Europe’s most fashionable cities with chic clothing stores, top-class restaurants and historic sights.

Tenerife
The Canary Islands have excellent all-round appeal, largely because of its reliably high climate – head to any of its member islands at any time of year and you’ll find sunny temperatures. Tenerife is ideal for sun seekers after an early beach holiday and families will find plenty of choice in resorts, with wonderfully white sandy beaches, a wide selection of restaurants and bars, and entertainment. Leading resorts include the lively Playa de las Americas, the sophisticated Costa Adeje and the tranquil and soothing Los Gigantes.

New York
For a city break par excellence, it has to be New York. The Big Apple is a stunning destination, offering so much that a mere weekend doesn’t really do it justice! In fact, there’s so much to do during a holiday to New York that you’ll soon be eager to return again. Central Park, Manhattan, Times Square, the Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, Fifth Avenue – there are endless stores to shop, fine restaurants to dine in, and bars to relax in. If you have the time, spread out a little too. Away from the typical tourist areas, Greenwich Village and SoHo are hip and trendy. Could you squeeze in some time in nearby Long Island?

In this post, I would like to tell you about 10 best destinations in Europe for off-season travel. Europe can be overwhelming. With so many amazing places to visit and so many people willing to visit them and the cities which simply can’t handle SO MANY people. In the end, visiting Rome or Paris in July will be far from enjoyable, unless you want to spend all your holiday waiting in lines for the top attractions in these cities. That’s why since 3 years ago we mostly travel off-season. And you know what? It’s amazing.
First of all, you’ll save a lot of money. Literally, everything will be cheaper: flights, accommodation, even food! (Plenty of restaurants here in Edinburgh rise the prices for the Festivals in August, which is ridiculous, but understandable. Business is business).
Secondly, you can interact more with the locals. During the busy times, locals are usually trying to do as much business as possible, not spending much time on every individual tourist or customer. When you travel off-season, sometimes you’re the only customer, so you get to speak to the locals and understand the culture better. For example, during our amazing crazy Balkan road trip, we interacted with locals in F.Y.R.O.M (Macedonia), Bosnia & Herzegovina and even Croatia.
Finally, everything is less crowded and you can enjoy your travels more and even take better photos. All the best photos of Edinburgh I took in February and March & April when it was actually possible to take photos! Otherwise, the city is just so crowded, that you have to wait to take some photos in some of the most Instagrammable places in Edinburgh.
This post’s overview:
- 1 So here are my top 10 best destinations in Europe for off-season travel
- 1.1 1. Edinburgh & Scotland in general
- 1.2 2. Croatia
- 1.3 3. Slovenia
- 1.3.1 4. Greece
- 1.4 5. Iceland
- 1.5 6. Spain
- 1.6 7. Italy
- 1.7 8. France
- 1.8 9. Montenegro
- 1.9 10. Russia
1. Edinburgh & Scotland in general
Why visit Edinburgh off-season? Well, all the 3 reasons above perfectly apply to Edinburgh: it’s cheaper, less crowded and you can actually interact with Scottish people without annoying them and being the 101st tourist, who asked, where is the closest loo.
Edinburgh is famous for its unpredictable weather, but having lived there for 1.5 years (and Pepe lived there for full 3 years), I can say that the weather in Edinburgh off-season is often better than during the summer. In January and February, for example, it could be pretty cold, but at the same time very sunny and not so windy! October is great too – the whole city is getting ready for winter, thus the trees are getting yellow and the city looks amazing. The Highlands in Scotland looked fantastic even in November – we took a small road trip to Glencoe, Fort Willian and Glenfinnan and took some spectacular photos!
My personal favourite month in Edinburgh is actually April – you can see the bloom of dandelions and the cherry blossom! Believe me, it’s definitely worth seeing! Don’t forget to check the availability of the best affordable hotels in Edinburgh right now! Check the prices for hotels in Edinburgh.
Beautiful Scottish Highlands in November
2. Croatia
Croatia during the off-season is less crowded and colder – so you won’t suffocate on the streets packed with thousands of the tourists! We went to Dubrovnik in the middle of October and it was amazing. I must admit, that it rained a couple of times during the day, but the weather was actually warm – around 20-22 degrees Celsius. Check the off-season travel prices for hotels in Dubrovnik, the most beautiful city in Croatia.
Dubrovnik in October
3. Slovenia
Slovenia is definitely one of the most underestimated countries in Europe – it has everything – little medieval towns like the Czech Republic, coastal towns like Italy and Croatia, beautiful lakes and mountains – just like Austria and it’s easily accessible by plane or bus from pretty much anywhere in Europe!
I visited Slovenia in the beginning of April and it was still a bit cold there – around 11-15 degrees Celsius, but it was almost empty and it was possible to enjoy the stay and the walks at one of the most beautiful lakes in Europe – lake Bled! Also, Ljubljana was extremely pretty in April and Piran, the fabulous coastal town, was even warm and sunny!
Slovenia is not so expensive, but during the low season it’s even cheaper, so don’t miss your chance to visit this beautiful country & check the availability of the hotels now!
Piran, Slovenia in April
4. Greece
Everybody likes Greece! In summer, Greece becomes so crowded, that some of its places are even featured in various memes (e. g. Santorini – expectations vs reality). During the low seasons, however, the weather might still be warm (like in Athens in October – it was actually pretty HOT) and they will be fewer crowds, so you can actually enjoy sightseeing in Greece during your off-season travels! Check the prices for Athens during off-season now!
Athens in October
5. Iceland
I visited Iceland in March and it was one of the best decisions ever. No queues, no sold out trips, no bookings of the blue lagoon 2 weeks before visiting it and being jam packed inside the blue lagoon. Yes, it was cold, but at the same time, Iceland looked exactly like the North in the Game of Thrones – sometimes totally worth seeing for a fan like me! Prices in Iceland can be crazy sometimes, so secure your hotel for low season travels now!
Iceland in March
6. Spain
Just as Greece, Spain suffers problems of over-visiting in Summer. Spain, especially, Barcelona and Madrid, get insanely crowded in summer, so crowded, that you could barely walk (especially in Ramblas, Barcelona). Some other lovely cities like Seville are catching up, even though the heat might be unbearable in summer. Nonetheless, the tourists still come. I visited Barcelona in the beginning of May and it was a really nice experience – the weather was mild and sunny and there were not so many people. As for Seville and Madrid, I visited both of them in December & January and it was a great experience! Read more about my experience in Seville in this post, where you can also find out, why you should go to Seville on Monday! Find your perfect hotel in Seville now.
Seville in December
7. Italy
Italy is probably one of the most popular summer destinations for all the people from around the world. Ever imagined a romantic walk in front of the Fontan di Trevi? Forget about it, you’ll be squeezing past hundreds of tourists trying to snap a selfie in front of the famous fountain as well as the annoying sellers of cheap selfie sticks. Doesn’t really sound so romantic and I’m not exaggerating. In order to enjoy Italy a lot and not spend half of your time there in queues, try to go there off-season. I visited Italy in November and the weather was great – around 17-22 degrees and not so many people around. Then we went to Italy for the Valentine’s Day in February and it was lovely as well. Finally, we returned to Italy in March and imagine, it was even possible to take photos of empty streets in Venice! And I’m not joking! Check the prices for hotels in Venice now!
Venice in March
8. France
Another one of the most crowded destinations is France, especially Paris is overcrowded. Paris is a magnet for all the tourists, but some of the visitors suffer a famous Paris syndrome afterwards (when you feel heartbroken, nauseous and even depressed after visiting Paris – because it just doesn’t look like in the photos you have probably seen anymore). However, I didn’t suffer from the Paris syndrome and I actually enjoyed Paris and didn’t spend much time in the queues at all – guess which time of the year was that? Right, winter! Just after Christmas Paris was quite empty and very photogenic and walkable! So France is definitely great for off-season travel!
Paris in December
9.
Montenegro
Almost the last one of the list of the 10 best destinations in Europe for off-season travel, Montenegro is an emerging travel destination, nonetheless, it gets very crowded in summer! Located just next to Dubrovnik in Croatia, the whole Montenegro (but mostly Budva and Kotor) are often invaded by the enormous amount of visitors of Croatia, who took a day trip to Montenegro. Cruise ships and regular tourists don’t help the situation at all! In October, however, Montenegro is still warm (not suitable for swimming though), but far less crowded and you can actually enjoy walking in the old town of Kotor! Check the prices for hotels in Kotor now!
Kotor in October
10. Russia
Okay, Russia might come as a surprise for off-season travel (I can imagine your terrified faces when you think about visiting Russia in winter, but it’s actually a pretty cool experience!), however, it’s actually great to visit off-season. Speaking of Moscow and St. Petersburg, the best off-season time to visit either of these cities or the both of them could be the end of September, October and end of December – beginning of January. In October, all the trees get yellow and even red, creating very colourful landscapes, especially prominent in various parks, e.g. Summer Garden in St. Petersburg. Moscow is also great during the New Year and the Russian Christmas (on the 7th of January) – the capital of Russia takes NY decoration seriously and could seriously be named one of the most beautifully decorated cities in the world. Check the prices for hotels in Moscow now!

11. France with Kids
Being one of the most popular countries to visit for all travelers, it should come as no surprise that France is a great place for families to visit in Europe!
However as a word of caution, whilst we list France as one of the best places to take kids in Europe, I didn’t find their culture as welcoming to babies and toddlers. Perfect for older kids though!
Where to Visit in France with Kids:
France has many alpine villages and breathtaking architecture to explore and has many gardens and outdoor activities that make it a great place for a European family vacation!
Of course, you can’t go to France and not visit Paris, but we also really love places such as Nice and Colmar for family trips too.

12. Czech with Kids

After the endless stream of exhibitions and walking gets to the kids, it’s also a great place to find some fun child-specific attractions!
Where to go in Czech with Kids:
Czech is a country of many wonders, but one of the best European cities for Kids has to be its capital, Prague. Children often travel free or for a discounted price and have cheaper admission fees to many of the attractions!

Where to go on holiday in July? / Kirov Travel Agency “Four Seasons” Kirov
We continue the series of articles in which we give you our recommendations for holidays in different countries, depending on the month and season. In today’s article, we will tell you about where to go on vacation in July to have a great vacation.
Beach holidays in July.
The July peak of the holiday season gives ample opportunities to all vacationers in the territory of European resorts. When choosing a beach holiday in July, keep in mind that the cost of travel in the middle of summer becomes a little higher, but you can always count on last-minute tours. Thanks to charter programs, everyone can go almost anywhere in the European part of our continent. But be sure to remember that July is a very hot month, so when preparing your holiday, take into account the temperatures typical for different regions.
Truly summer and windless weather in Turkey makes the second month the peak of the season, at this time thousands of tourists come to the country. The average temperature on the Turkish coast in July is about 35 degrees Celsius, and the water warms up to 26 degrees.
Those wishing to spend their holidays in July in the Mediterranean will meet beautiful beaches and sunny weather.
The warm sea and the heat will be happy to see all the tourists who go to the territory of Spain, Greece and Italy. In these countries, along with very comfortable weather, you will be provided with excellent service, which will make your summer vacation unforgettable.
Slightly cooler temperatures you will meet the resorts of Portugal, where the air warms up from 20 to 27 degrees Celsius, depending on the area of stay. Due to various undercurrents, the water warms up only to +19 degrees. If you intend to go on vacation in July to Portugal, then we advise you to go to Madeira, where the second month of summer is only the beginning of the season.
Bulgarian resorts on the Black Sea coast offer a very comfortable stay in the middle of summer. Here the air temperature does not exceed 30 degrees Celsius, and the water temperature is +25 degrees Celsius. The sea breeze and sunny weather with extremely rare precipitation attract a large number of tourists here.
The cleanest Adriatic coast of Montenegro in the middle of summer will please everyone with an average air temperature of +29 degrees, and a water temperature of +25 degrees. Neighboring Croatia maintains similar temperatures at the height of summer, and the most favorable resorts for recreation are located just south of Split.
If you are going to spend your holidays in Israel in July, we advise you to go to the shores of the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Unlike the central regions of this country, due to the lack of humidity, the heat is more easily tolerated there. The air temperature is up to 40 degrees of heat, and the water warms up to +27 degrees.
The July air temperature in Tunisia, on average, stays at around 32 degrees Celsius, and the water is heated to +23 degrees. Throughout the summer season, hot and sunny weather persists here, which will give all guests a wonderful tan and good memories. But closer to August, the heat in Tunisia is greatly enhanced.
By tradition, let’s not forget about the most popular country among our tourists – Egypt. Rest in July on the territory of this country will push you with intense heat. The thermometer sometimes rises to +45 degrees. The water temperature of the Red Sea in July will be +28 degrees, and in the Mediterranean – about +25 degrees. But due to the dry climate, it makes it a little easier to endure the heat than in our country. However, we recommend that you postpone your vacation in the sweltering July Egypt until autumn, when the weather is more pleasant there.
If you are planning your holiday in July on the territory of our country, then all the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory will be open to you. Sochi, Gelendzhik, Lazarevskoye and Anapa will meet you with open arms. We can also offer you bus tours to the territory of Crimea, to such cities as Sudak, Feodosiya, Beregovoye and Yalta. Local resorts annually improve their infrastructure, which significantly contributes to the increase in tourist flow. Detailed routes to the cities of Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory you can find on our tour operator website -> “World of Discoveries”.
Excursion holidays in July.
If you are planning to go to European countries with a sightseeing trip, then we hasten to disappoint you. July is not the best month for sightseeing holidays in Europe. The bustle of the city, coupled with the suffocating heat and crowds of tourists who came for a beach holiday, will not allow you to fully enjoy the excursion route. It is worth knowing that July is the peak of holidays, so the number of tourists in popular amusement parks, natural monuments and European cities rises significantly.
Scandinavian countries are perfect for sightseeing trips at this time of the year. Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland will meet you with fresh air and pleasant weather. The wide possibilities of these countries for recreation in the capitals and in nature will help you find great places to spend your holidays in July at a high level.
Despite the fact that the heat and high popularity of most resorts reach their maximum in July, the middle of summer is a great opportunity to combine an educational sightseeing tour with a vacation on the ocean or sea coast.
By choosing this option, you will be able to see the local sights, as well as spend some of your time on the beach recuperating under the bright sunshine and the sound of the waves.
We can offer you a wide range of opportunities to combine sightseeing trips with a beach holiday. To do this, call us by phone: (8332) 43-33-34 , or visit our spacious office in the city of Kirov at the address: st. Karla Marksa, 126, 1st floor (TC “Bazar”) . The team of the tourist center “GO” and the travel agency “Four Seasons” wishes you a pleasant stay!
Which countries can unvaccinated tourists go to in 2022
The widespread opinion that “you can’t go anywhere abroad without vaccination” is nothing more than a myth. The choice of popular tourist destinations where unvaccinated Russians can go is much wider than the list of countries where they are allowed “only with a vaccine”.
Many Russians had to face a bewildered question regarding their trip abroad during the pandemic: “Is it possible for the unvaccinated to go abroad?” Unfortunately, many tourists and not only have such a stereotype. Even in the media, you can sometimes come across strange headlines “Egypt will let unvaccinated tourists into the country” (although it has always let them in, since it opened for Russians). This is, of course, a delusion and a myth.
THE COUNTRIES THAT ALLOW UNVACENTED RUSSIANS ARE MUCH MORE THAN THOSE WHO ALLOW ONLY THE VACCINATED
In reality, only 8 relatively popular tourist countries in the Russian Federation allow only Russian tourists vaccinated by Sputnik V tests, with one test or with two) and do not let the unvaccinated under any conditions. These are Azerbaijan, Argentina, Vietnam, Israel, Kenya, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Chile. As you can see, there are only two mass tourist destinations on this list: Vietnam and Israel.
Indeed, when entering a number of countries, the Russian vaccination may provide certain “benefits” (for example, exemption from testing or quarantine). But these rules are very inconsistent. Many states introduce such preferences to vaccinated people, but then cancel them (Maldives, Greece, etc. ), some reduce the validity of vaccine certificates (Cyprus, etc.), or exclude some Russian vaccines from the list (like Turkey). As a result, many vaccinated Russians will still have to enter these countries on a general basis, as “unvaccinated”.
But there are not so many countries that give “benefits” to vaccinated “Sputnik” (rarely – other vaccines), if we talk about popular tourist destinations. The vaccinated are released from quarantine, for example, in Qatar, Thailand, and Sri Lanka. And it is possible for vaccinated Russians not to take a test before departure for Turkey, Egypt, Bulgaria, Hungary, Croatia, Armenia, Belarus, Slovenia.
But foreign countries where Russians can come or fly for tourist purposes on direct flights – without any vaccination – and not go through quarantine, much more. We counted 45 such destinations , and that’s not all.
Of these, really popular tourist countries – at least 20 . More about them.

Where you can go on vacation to the sea in summer, autumn, winter and spring
Days spent at sea turn the most gray everyday life into measured and carefree holidays, which is why tourists are so eager to go where they can bask in the sun and swim in the warm sea. But each season has its own resort, and an inexperienced tourist will need information about the features of a beach holiday at different times of the year.
Main destinations at different times of the year
The harsh Russian climate does not spoil its residents with warmth all year round. Even summer in our country is quite cool. Therefore, interest in the golden beaches and the warm sea never dries up.
Each tourist destination has a different climate at different times of the year. For example, summer in Turkey is the most vacation season. And in Vietnam it rains like a thick wall. In summer, the following European countries are available for a carefree and pleasant holiday:
- Greece;
- Cyprus;
- Turkey;
- Spain;
- Bulgaria;
- France;
- Montenegro;
- Italy and others.
Temperatures can reach 35 degrees and above. If it rains, then only a few times a month. The countries of North, East and South Africa, as well as Mauritius, Indonesia and Singapore are hospitable for a beach holiday.
As for the beginning of autumn, most European countries, North Africa, Jordan, Dominican Republic are available for a beach holiday. In November, their borders for tourists in love with the warm sea open:
- in the Middle East : United Arab Emirates, Israel;
- in Asia : India (Goa), Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam;
- in South and Central America and in the Atlantic Ocean: Cuba, Caribbean Islands, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Mexico.
In winter, tourists yearning for summer are offered beach tours in South America, Asia (Singapore, Vietnam, Goa, Sri Lanka). In spring, it is also nice and warm in Cambodia, the Philippines, and on the islands of the Indian Ocean.
Let’s take a closer look at each season and find out which countries are good at sea in summer and which are in winter.
Summer holidays
Beach holidays in the summer are almost limitless. The wonderful beaches of Turkey, Bulgaria, and Montenegro are traditional for many Russians. You can have a great rest in Croatia, Italy, Spain. The beginning of summer is a favorable season for a trip to hot Cyprus and Greek Crete. In June, the heat is much easier to bear there, there are not so many tourists yet, and a beach holiday can be comfortably combined with an excursion.
In June the weather is pleasant, there is no rain, but not everywhere the sea can be well warmed up. In the countries of Africa and Asia at this time of the year, the temperature reaches unbearable limits. Vacationers are at risk of heat stroke.
If the tourist is not constrained by finances, you can afford a cruise in the Mediterranean or the seas of the Scandinavian countries. A river cruise in full-flowing rivers is a wonderful alternative to a sea cruise. The Russian Volga, the European Danube and the Rhine are adorned with dark emerald forests and flowering meadows.
It is better to visit Turkey, Cyprus and Spain in June with a child. These countries have a fairly extensive entertainment program for children with the best water parks and animation. In the Bulgarian Sunny Beach, the coast is quite shallow, so the water warms up better.
Midsummer
This is not the best time to travel around Europe. In July everywhere, especially in Cyprus and Turkey, it is very hot. A bit fresher and more comfortable in the Turkish city of Bodrum and its environs. Enough budget rest in Anapa and Gelendzhik. Sochi is also a great option for those who cannot travel abroad. You can even get to the resort by your own car.
Fans of exotic destinations will like Asian countries with comfortable temperatures at this time of the year: China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia. Tanzania is good for its “safari” in the summer.
Tunisia, Egypt and Turkey are met with extreme heat, the temperature rises to 35-40 degrees, and crowds of tourists. The cost of accommodation and air travel is gaining maximum height. You can come across rainy weather in Peru, India, the Philippines.
Autumn holiday
Summer has come to an end, but Greece (especially Crete), Italy, Cyprus and North Africa are especially pleasant and comfortable. The heat goes away, the sea remains warm. But in Italy and Greece you need to do Schengen. Cypriot visas are issued in just a day (provision), but in September it is difficult to find accommodation here – everything is packed with tourists. Tunisia and Morocco are also not as hot as in August. In Turkey, you can swim in September, October brings rain to the country.
It is in September that many tourist destinations become more attractive. The main advantages of the September holiday:
- many hot tours;
- fewer tourists;
- the heat is weakening;
- the sea is warm, well warmed up during the summer.
Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, on the contrary, remain hospitable for tourists who love beach holidays, only until the second week of September. October is high season in the United Arab Emirates. But Ramadan lasts for most of the month, which imposes certain restrictions on entertainment and alcoholic beverages.
The first half of autumn is the right time to visit Lebanon, Oman and Madagascar. Fans of Spain may be disappointed in October with cold currents and frequent rains. In the resorts of the Costa Dorada and Costa Brava, it gets colder. The Caribbean, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos are shaken by stormy winds, downpours, perhaps even typhoons.
November holidays
November in most of Europe is not too different from Russian November. Velvet season begins in Egypt. The air warms up to 32 degrees, the sea remains warm, the sweltering heat leaves these parts. Here you can relax cheaply.
Thailand and Vietnam also invite tourists with mild warm weather and calm clear seas. Heat and heavy rains pass. Especially love Pattaya and Phuket.
November is a great holiday in the Canary Islands, on the beaches of Goa. Mauritius, the United Arab Emirates and the countries of North Africa still offer great weather, wonderful beaches and developed infrastructure. But by the end of the month it gets colder in Africa. Cold winds even peek into Lebanon.
Maldives, Seychelles and French Polynesia are good all year round. The temperature rises to 27 degrees. The islands are surrounded by the purest water of all kinds of blue shades: from turquoise to azure and dark blue, coral beaches, and the silence of nature. Around only expanses of the ocean and there is no noise of big cities.
November is the dry season in Mexico, but a tropical cyclone can ruin your holiday. Turkey is not suitable for swimming at this time of the year. It’s chilly here, but it’s still possible to get a little tan.
Winter at sea
At the end of December and in January, Asian resorts become the most popular. You can go to Thailand, Bali, Malaysia, Vietnam. The weather here is wonderful, contrasting so much with the snowy frosts of Russia.
More expensive destinations, Latin American beaches are also popular:
- Brazil;
- Cuba;
- Dominican Republic and other Caribbean countries.
In January, the Canary Islands are especially attractive for those who cannot stand the suffocating heat. Twenty-degree heat will allow you to relax on the beach and go on excursions to volcanoes.
Tourists who are in love with eco-tourism, Costa Rica is perfect, where all the pristine beauty of beaches and wild jungle is preserved. Comfortable weather in Myanmar will allow you to see numerous attractions. Monsoon rains pass, and tourists can safely go and enjoy a beach holiday.
Beach destinations unfavorable for January:
- It is better not to go to Mauritius at this time. The country has a cyclone season, high humidity, but very warm.
- In Egypt there are few sunny days, no heat, the water warms up weakly. You can admire the pyramids and relax quite cheaply.
- Morocco is cool and you can’t swim here. In coastal cities, the temperature rises only to 12 degrees Celsius.
- It is cold and rainy in Israel . But the country’s beach resorts offer wellness and therapeutic holidays.
The UAE remains attractive in winter. Dubai continues to rise in price, here you can go broke. Resting well in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi. The resort area of Korfakkan is also attractive, where you can have a great walk in the oases, go diving well and just lie quietly on the beach.
February is guaranteed warm weather in Thailand, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Caribbean, Goa, Vietnam. In the Maldives, the temperature does not fall below 25 degrees. The sea is turquoise, calm, the sun always shines and not a drop of rain falls. Cambodia is attractive for its unique historical heritage and trendy eco-tourism. The seaside resort of Sihanoukville is a great place to relax in February.
Spring break
Egypt is cool and windy in March. The only thing that can attract tourists is the low cost of tours. The same weather holds in the UAE. A beach holiday in the Emirates will not be so comfortable, but it will suit those who like to go to luxury shops and bask in the warm sun. March shops give tourists of the Emirates good discounts. Branded and quality items can be bought at a much lower cost than in Russia or Europe.
This time of year is very hot in Goa and Thailand. The temperature rises to 40 degrees. Well in March in the Dominican Republic, Canary Islands. Tenerife hosts fun and fascinating carnivals.
Vietnam is still hospitable. It’s hot here and the rainy season hasn’t started yet. In Jordan, you can see a huge number of historical cultural monuments and relax in the waters of the Dead Sea.
April off-season
April is not the season on many beaches around the world. But you can still relax at very attractive prices. During the May holidays, the cost of recreation grows at an incredible rate, and after that the hot season of summer holidays begins.
Favorable countries for April holidays in North Africa and the Middle East:
- Tunisia;
- Morocco;
- Jordan.
April is a great time to relax in Tunisia. There is no unbearable heat yet, but the sea is already warm, the air is clean, there are many entertainment programs and water parks. Adults will love the wonderful spa resorts. The famous Jordanian pearl is the Dead Sea with the most healing water, where tourists from all over the world come with pleasure.
The sea is warming up in China, Hainan Island is especially beautiful. The temperature rises to +26-27 degrees. The resort is replete with thermal springs and natural parks.
In the Canary Islands, every tourist will be able to choose a place to his liking. A luxurious beach holiday is easily combined with the opportunity to visit the rainforests and hike the volcanic mountains.
Trip for the May holidays
In May in Turkey and Egypt the weather is not the hottest, but it is warm here, up to +26-27, the bill for accommodation will be small, and if the sea seems cool, almost every hotel provides a pool. This weather will allow you to travel on excursions.
Tunisia warms up even better by May than in April, Morocco is not yet oppressive with mad heat. It is hot in Thailand, but not yet stuffy, the rainy season is approaching. The listed resorts will provide vacationers with a varied vacation: clean beaches, turquoise calm seas and rich excursion programs.
Those tourists who are not constrained by finances should visit the hot Mauritius, Seychelles, Singapore, Indonesia.
In the Seychelles you can see huge coconut palms and an ornithological reserve. In May, the demand for cruise holidays increases sharply, especially for Mediterranean cruises. In two weeks, you can visit up to seven or more countries: Italy, Egypt, Malta, and so on. This type of holiday is not cheap, but enjoying the sea air and the beauties of all these countries is worth it.
Holidays for every taste at any time of the year
Employers do not always allow their employees to go on vacation in the summer. But that’s not a problem. At any time of the year you can find the opportunity to spend your holidays on the beach.
South America, Mexico, Bahamas, Asia are beautiful in winter. In the spring it is good in the Dominican Republic, in the Canary Islands, Goa, in the countries of North Africa. Early autumn is almost as rich in choice as summer: many European countries, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Bulgaria are open for tourists. At the end of August, the peak of the heat is the golden season for the Mediterranean countries. From the second half of October, you can go to the islands in the Indian Ocean, Singapore, Thailand, Israel, Tanzania and other countries.

“Pack up an hour and just run.” Finland has closed its border with Russia
Finland is closing its border with Russia. The ban on entry into the country comes into force on the night of September 30 and will mainly affect “tourists”, that is, holders of short-stay visas. Exceptions will be made only for relatives of those who permanently live in Finland, students and holders of the so-called. humanitarian visas.
More than 43,000 people crossed the border last week, according to the Finnish Border Guard. This is 108% more than a week earlier. The number of asylum seekers also increased – 92 people per week. Correspondents of Sever.Realii talked with those Russians who managed to leave for Finland, and also found out what ordinary people and experts think about the decision to close the borders.
“I’d rather be here than at war”
Five men are sitting in a small kitchen in a Finnish border town: one flips through the news feed on his smartphone and nervously says “I escaped just in time”, the second, exhaling, begins to coordinate the departure of those who still remains in Russia.
All five are “voluntarily demobilized”, that is, those who in the past few days have fled from the mobilization announced in Russia and sent to war in Ukraine. Someone made the decision to leave within a few hours after President Putin’s address on September 21, someone needed a few days to settle urgent matters: issue a general power of attorney for property for one of the relatives, build the fastest and most convenient route to Finland – on your own transport or on a ride.
Most of those who left Russia have everything left: parents, wives, children, apartments, dachas, good careers and a familiar way of life.
– I am currently watching the surveillance cameras in my house, I see children playing with toys, watching TV… tears in my eyes. I miss them very much. It is also very difficult for my wife without me, – says a 39-year-old father of three children and an entrepreneur from Karelia Sergey .
He left on 21 September immediately after the announcement of mobilization. He did not serve in the army for health reasons, so he was in no hurry to leave, the family pushed him to the decision. Despite the fact that the wife had to leave work to take care of the children, it was her word “leave” that was decisive in making the decision.
“We decided that I’d rather be alive and well here than in Russia, but perhaps at war,” he says.
Sergei crossed the border with Finland at night. I was very surprised by the number of men and questions that had not been asked before.
– I travel to Finland quite often and there are usually women and elderly people. This time at 11 pm there were about 20 people and among them only one girl, and the rest were guys 30-40 years old. The questions asked were the following: are they subject to mobilization, the second – what category is on the military ID and did you take it with you. Those who said that they took it were asked next why they need a military ID in the territory of the European Union? he recalls.
Now Sergey is trying to figure out how to provide for his family, at least until he gets a job somewhere abroad and can transport them to him. He is not going to return to Russia, “probably never”, so he intends to look for job opportunities somewhere in Eastern Europe.

“I made a decision not to take risks”
Andrey is sitting next to Sergey. He also did not serve in the army: he studied at graduate school and defended his dissertation, and also did not fit for health reasons. His military ID lists category B, which means “limited fit for military service.” At the same time, Andrey understands that in Russia neither an academic degree, nor a spinal injury, nor a lack of military experience can save him from being drafted.
– That is, according to the law, they can’t take me away. But since the laws in Russia, to put it mildly, are not always followed, I decided not to take risks, – says Andrey.
He was going to leave Russia in March this year, when the war in Ukraine started. For him, everything that happens is a personal tragedy. His father is from the Donetsk region, and his relatives are from Nikolaev, they have not been in touch since May.
“I was fired from my job in February, but after the war started, I didn’t want the state to spend my taxes on killing people, so I didn’t look for work in Russia,” he recalls. – I was going to go to Finland, just not in such a hurry. I talked with the employer, prepared documents. But it could drag on for months, and the border could close at any moment.
Nikolay from Moscow was guided by the same logic when making a decision on an urgent departure. According to the rules that were officially announced by the Russian authorities, his turn of mobilization was the second or third, but he did not want to tempt fate.
– When nothing works as a system in a country, it is strange to expect that all of a sudden now with this recruitment everything will be clearly lined up. I don’t want to play Russian roulette, says Nikolai.
Some who left Russia took military IDs with them.
By the end of September 21, there were no more plane tickets to countries that have air links with Russia. Therefore, Nikolai decided to go to Finland. The questions were the same as for the rest: did he receive a summons, did he have a military ID with him.
All together, the “demobilized” who did not have time to mobilize discuss questions about what awaits their homeland and those who remained there, talk about why people agree to go to war, and also formulate questions that were not asked to them personally from propagandists – is it possible to flee from the country when there is a war?
– The issue of defending the homeland is one thing, but the issue of participating in an incomprehensible war with incomprehensible goals is another, I don’t want to go and kill people close to us. There is the concept of protecting the motherland, but it must pass through the filter of common sense. In my understanding, what is happening now, this filter does not pass, – says Nikolai.

“If not you, then who else will help them?”
The owners of the apartment where the men temporarily stayed are themselves recent migrants from Russia. They do not want to give their names because of security concerns for the young people who are now living with them. Despite a small apartment and small children, they accept people for the night without fail: they feed them, help them deal with documents, tickets, money, and also give telephone consultations to those who cannot reach their city.
– The experience of volunteering helps us this spring, when Ukrainians came to Finland. That is, we know how to make decisions and navigate in a state of stress, – says the owner of the apartment Inna . – But now personal worries about acquaintances and friends have been added to the worries about the war. Strongly supports in this situation a great response of people. Even strangers. For example, yesterday we found accommodation for a family with a child from a Finn whom we don’t know personally. But he drove at 4 o’clock at night to feed and let people completely unfamiliar to him into his dacha. It’s incredible, she says.
Those who have left the mobilization are mostly helped by migrants from Russia who have been living in Finland for a long time.
– A family came to us with a baby and a dog. Another family asked, but they also have a dog – we settled them with other friends. I was puzzled by finding a place to sleep for friends of friends – everyone has someone sleeping, everyone’s sofas are occupied, we have another friend who lives in the country, – says Anastasia from Helsinki. – I personally help those whom I know, whose fate is not indifferent to me. But I am ready to accept those whom I do not know. I lived through the experience of migration, but it was a migration in calm conditions, and here people pack for an hour and just run. And if not you, then who else will help them?
Anastasia considers it her duty to save those who ask for her help from the war: once they helped her adapt to a new country – now she helps. Moreover, in today’s case it is a matter of life and death.
Things of “demobilized” Russians in the apartment of the owners in Finland, which help the people who left
– The more Russians leave now, the fewer will go to the front, the more young, smart guys will remain alive. Mobilization in Russia should be equated with military action, and if a person does not want to go to war, he must be supported in this decision, she believes.
Not all Finns share her opinion. For many local residents, migrants from Russia are a certain risk for the country.
– The social system is overloaded, it is difficult to allow new people to stay here. There is a fear that there may be conflicts between Ukrainian migrants and Russians, and that under the guise of migrants spies, scouts, saboteurs can get here, start some kind of sabotage inside the country. The authorities may be afraid of this, she believes.
The “new refugees” have vague and ghostly plans. Someone wants to “sit out” in Finland for some time, while the visa allows, someone expects to apply for political asylum, someone wants to go further to Europe.
– The planning horizon has narrowed to a week. While I went to work remotely, I rented an apartment in Finland for a week, then I will make a decision based on the situation in Russia,” says Nikita.

The decision to close the borders: pros and cons
Finland started talking about closing the borders for tourists from Russia even before they officially opened in the summer of 2022. When the first Russians went to the country for Finnish cheese and Fairy, and also transit workers went to airports to fly further on vacation, posters with “messages” appeared on the streets of different cities.
In August, the youth branch of the Coalition Party placed on a billboard near the border with the Leningrad region a poster with the words: “While you are resting, many Ukrainians have no home to return to” ( spelling saved. – СР ).
Slightly to the north, near the Karelian checkpoint Vartsila-Niirala, unidentified persons set up self-made posters with references to the war and links to Russian and Finnish media that honestly write about the situation in Ukraine.
Also appeared initiative in the form of a petition addressed to the Government of Finland, calling for “stop issuing visas and annul those already issued to citizens of countries waging an aggressive war.” In mid-September, the petition passed the required threshold of 50,000 signatures and will go to the Finnish Parliament.
Since September 21, the discussion of the issue has a new round: now the inhabitants of Finland are arguing about whether it is necessary to host Russians fleeing the mobilization. Last week 92 people from Russia requested asylum from the Finnish authorities.
In the social network Twitter, YLE readers in the comments under a post about a Russian citizen who left for Finland in the first days of mobilization ask themselves: “Why was this person in the country from the beginning of the war and did he then worry about the fate of the Ukrainian people?”
Heated discussions about whether to close the borders and accept fugitives flare up not only among Finns, but also among the Russian-speaking inhabitants of Finland. Some believe that people should be given a chance to escape the regime, while others believe that closing the border can protect Finland and Europe from the invasion of controversial dodgers who, not only over the past eight years, but over the past seven months, have done little to change the situation in Russia:
“Why accept this running ohlos? Do you really believe that those who are against the war and the regime are fleeing?.. yes, 9 out of 10 of them will recover from the road in a couple of days, they will yell “our Crimea”, and demand everyone around to speak in Russian!! What kind of ill-conceived humanitarian action?!” – they write alone. “They have long had the opportunity to make their choice, but they diligently raised fascism in Russia…. And now, when everyone personally smells of a plastic bag, at best, they ran to seek asylum. Everything suited everyone for 20 years,” others are convinced. “It turns out interesting. Mostly people who have B category run. So, in the majority, with purchased military tickets . . I watch different blochers. Yesterday they zigzagged, then, fearing exposure and mobilization, they ran. Get everyone out!” – Outraged third.
Experts: “There is simply no good alternative right now”
Finnish defense and security policy expert Charlie Salonius-Pasternak advocates toughest decisions against Russians. In response to an article by the national media holding YLE about a Russian who escaped the mobilization, he tweeted:
“He ran away as soon as he smelled fried, and until then he did not care that his country was committing genocide in Ukraine.”
Salonius-Pasternak is of the opinion about the collective responsibility of the Russians and believes that they should stay in Russia and fight the Putin regime by any means and methods available. Speaking on one of the analytical programs on Finnish television, he said that the street protests against the mobilization did not convince him of the anti-war position of the Russians.
“They didn’t take to the streets in such numbers when Russian troops were committing war crimes and massacres in Ukraine. It’s hard to say there’s more to this [protest] than a desire to protect themselves,” Salonius said. Parsnip.

Finland has reduced the number of visas for Russians. How long will you have to wait?
Researcher at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs Kristiina Silvan admits that public opinion in Finland is now on the side of those experts and politicians who are in favor of a complete and immediate closure of borders. A public initiative that requires the parliament to resolve the issue not only of stopping the issuance of short-term (so-called tourist) visas, but also of canceling visas for those who have already received them. Closing the border in this case is a prerequisite.
– The political debate about crossing the border has been heating up since the summer, when many Russians used Finland as a transit country to spend their holidays in Europe. Those in favor of closing the border believe that the Russians now arriving in Finland are a potential threat to Finnish national security. They also point to the collective responsibility of the Russians for the war in Ukraine and similar decisions by the Baltic and Polish authorities,” Silvan says.
The expert admits that expectations of a “potential threat” among Finns are greatly exaggerated, because even the Finnish Security and Intelligence Service (SUPO) does not see a threat to Finnish national security from tourist visa holders.
– Opponents of this [hard-line] position also insist on the right of Russians to apply for asylum, which will be impossible if tourist visa holders are not allowed to cross the border, she says.
Silvan believes that those who are trying to leave Russia, fearing mobilization, need to be supported in this desire, regardless of the reasons for which people evade summons to the draft board.
“Most people who find themselves on the battlefield will probably do everything they can to stay alive, even if they commit war crimes,” Sylvan admits. “[Therefore] we need to think about ways to support those who are trying to avoid being drafted, rather than turn away from the problem by closing the border. Finland and the European Union should significantly intensify their efforts to help Ukraine. But this does not rule out helping anti-war Russians. If their tourist visas [are] revoked, then humanitarian visas should be available.
Director of the Alexander Institute at the University of Helsinki Markku Kangaspuro does not think the idea of humanitarian visas is very good.
– I know very well that people who are at risk [at risk], including jail time, do not have time to get a humanitarian visa. They must have a tourist visa in order to get on a bus or car and escape. Humanitarian visas are a “red flag” for the Russian security forces. Like: hold them! Most Finns cannot understand this, because they do not represent Russian realities, the expert says.
Markku Kangaspuro, Russian Political History Researcher, Director of the Alexander Institute at the University of Halsinka
The rigidity of public opinion regarding visas and the Kangaspuro border is explained not only by the lack of information about the situation in Russia, but also by the populist position of political parties and the influence of the media.
– I would like to remind you that in April 2023 we will have parliamentary elections, which means that these politicians are really worried about the results and about getting a seat in parliament. Some populist parties are taking advantage of voter panic. Well, the media also adhere to the same [hard] line, Kangaspuro explains.
Both Silvan and Kangaspuro admit that they would like to see a clearer, more consolidated and balanced position towards opposition-minded Russians fleeing the mobilization by the EU. But there are too many factors preventing this.
– On the one hand, Ukraine is now expressing its unequivocal opinion. This is very understandable, they are being attacked and their demands are very straightforward. On the other hand, pragmatic relations [Finland and Europe] with Russia in recent years have shown their failure after the Russian attack. Now [European] governments don’t know what to do. And in general, there is simply no good alternative right now,” he says.
Kangaspuro admits that “passivity and widespread support for the war” on the part of the Russians, as well as nuclear blackmail by the Kremlin, only fuels negative attitudes towards the Russians and demands for tougher steps.
– Politicians make such [tough] decisions because it’s easier and cheaper to ban visas and close borders. I do not expect a fierce debate in the Finnish Parliament on this issue and I am sure that the restrictions will be adopted unanimously. Only this will help Putin and his regime to convince the Russians that all of Europe and even Finland are Russophobes. By closing the borders, we isolate the Russian youth, students and the rest of the population in the [Russian] information bubble, we will help Putin spread his propaganda without any alternative, Kangaspuro said.
“It’s not humane”
Those Russians who left the country during the last week do not absolve themselves of guilt for what is happening, but not everyone has the experience of confrontation and activism. Someone tried to simply build their lives, despite the deteriorating circumstances around them.
– If hundreds of thousands of people come out in Moscow or St. Petersburg, then maybe something will really change, but in Petrozavodsk, even if a thousand come out, they will simply be beaten with batons, dragged to a pre-trial detention center and convicted. Changes are possible if the vast majority comes out, but it is so zombified by the TV that it’s even scary to talk to them, ”Sergey believes.
– I understand that the aggressor country, that is, its citizens, should not go on holiday abroad as if nothing had happened. But, on the other hand, I understand that those who are primarily guilty of this war – civil servants, security forces – these restrictions will not affect them in any way, but they will affect ordinary people, including those who do not support this war, Andrey says.
– I believe that the strength of Europe lies in humanism. These are historical traditions.
Hot places to visit in europe in february: 14 Best Places to Go in Europe in February 2021
5 Best places to go in Europe in February 2022
Temps are low in Europe in February, but so are the crowds—and hotel rates. Isn’t that reason enough to get those 2020 travel plans off to a roaring start?
1 Madeira, Portugal
If you want to avoid the cold and wet weather that hits much of Europe in February, visit the island of Madeira, which sits in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Africa.
This environment makes Madeira the perfect place for outdoor activities, even during the winter months. Try hiking Ponta de São Lourenço, which is a nature reserve filled with red-streaked volcanic rocks that offers majestic views of the ocean. Or, if you don’t want to hike, but still want amazing views, visit the Cabo Girão Skywalk, which is a clear platform that hangs off of Europe’s highest cliff— definitely not for those afraid of heights. Be sure to sample some of the area’s wine while you’re here, too. Head to Blandy’s Wine Lodge, where you can take a tour and find out how this region’s wine is made.
You can also try paragliding, or even the famous street tobogganing. Plus, if you visit at the end of February, you can take part in the Carnival festivities.
2. Prague, Czech Republic
Explore the winding streets of Prague’s Old Town to admire the pastel-colored buildings this February. Take a walk down Karlova Street, which historically was the way Bohemian kings traveled to their coronations, and check out the local shops selling glassware, wooden toys, painted eggs, puppets, and other crafts that make great gifts.
Warm up from the cold by visiting one of the city’s museums, like the Prague Jewish Museum, the National Museum, or the Museum of Beer. For a unique experience, check out the Franz Kafka Museum, which is devoted to the famous writer.
3. St. Moritz, Switzerland
There’s no wrong time to visit this swish alpine resort town, which stuns both in summer and winter, but February is arguably the best. Ultra-luxe ski resorts are in full swing, the winter temps are at their warmest (ideal for lingering on the high slopes), and Switzerland’s world-famous White Turf horse-racing event takes over three weekends on the town’s frozen lake.
4. Paris, France
Paris is an obvious choice for a Valentine’s Day trip across the pond. The city is known as the most romantic in the world, and it certainly won’t disappoint if you decide to visit this winter.
Plus, February is often the cheapest month to fly to Paris, and you can enjoy off-season hotel prices and fewer crowds at the big attractions. Skip the lines and still get a chance to see some of the most popular tourist sites in the world, including the Eiffel Tower, Versailles Palace, and the Arc de Triomphe.
One night, take a Seine dinner cruise, where a heated boat will take you down the iconic river that flows through the center of the city. Consider booking a ticket to performances at the famous Moulin Rouge or Opéra Garnier for another exciting night in Paris.
5. Tenerife, Canary Islands
Your options are limited, but it is possible to squeeze in some European beach time during the second month of the year. While mainland Spain fluctuates from cool to cold, the southernmost Canary Islands—specifically Tenerife—are warm year-round. February is one of the best times to visit Tenerife’s southern beaches, when temperatures hit the low 70s and there’s less chance of rain.
Lounging by the water at Playa de la Tejita is requisite, but if you’ve got more time to spare, don’t miss a hike through the forests of the Anaga Mountains or a walk through Garachico, where you can also swim in rock pools formed by lava. Heads up: time your trip for the tail-end of the month and you’ll be just in time for the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival (February 19–March 1, 2020), a celebration of music, color, and life.

Best time to visit Japan
The best time of the year to visit Japan is spring and autumn, when the weather is most comfortable. But both summer and winter have their appeal. Japan is a country where you can perfectly relax, contemplating the peaceful landscapes of traditional gardens, temples, natural beauties. Since Japan has a significant length from north to south, there are large climatic differences within its territory. In general, the climate of Japan is humid, maritime. For example, in May, when there is still snow in Hokkaido and cherry blossoms, in Okinawa you can sunbathe and swim in the ocean.
Winter in Japan is quite warm, sunny and dry. Temperatures in areas along the Pacific Coast rarely drop below 0 degrees Celsius. In northern Japan, snow falls in winter and the temperature drops below 0, but there is no severe cold. For lovers of skiing, you can come in any winter month. Ski resorts in Japan are not inferior in quality to European resorts. In November, December, the New Year mood is felt. Streets, shop windows, shops, houses are decorated with illumination. When planning a tour to Japan for the New Year, you need to take into account that some attractions do not work from January 31 to January 4. It is better to leave these days for free rest at a ski resort or hot springs, or just walk around Tokyo or shops, during this period discounts are available in all stores.
The beginning of spring in Japan is the best time of the year to visit Japan. At the end of February, plum blossoms in Japan, and from mid-March, the world-famous Japanese cherry blossoms bloom for a month – sakura of early and late varieties. The air temperature is above 10 degrees Celsius, and in May rises to 30 degrees. The locals also have their favorite cherry blossom spots, where you can see many varieties of cherry blossoms. Guests who come to Japan in late February – early March can see the plum blossom on Mount Tsukuba, where the plum blossom festival is held, or go to the Izu Peninsula, where the kawazuzakura cherry blossom festival is held from February 10 to March 10. If you are planning a vacation at the end of April or the beginning of May, and want to see sakura, in this case, we recommend going to Nikko – the “Kongo sakura” golden sakura blooms there simultaneously with wisteria in Ashikaga Park or go to the north of Japan to the Tohoku region in Hirosaki, Kakunodate in Akita or Hokkaido where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. In May, guests can also admire the blooming wisteria, especially blooming in Ashikaga Park and in Kyushu in the Kawachi Wisteria Park.
Summer in Japan begins in June with the advent of the rainy season (from mid-June to mid-July). Summer in Japan becomes as hot and humid as in the tropics. If you are planning a trip to the Okinawa Islands, then the best period is from mid-June to the end of October, the rainy season in Okinawa is from mid-May to mid-June. During the summer, Japan hosts many festivals, celebrations, and fireworks. The most popular is the Awa-odori festival on the island of Shikoku in Tokushima, and on August 16, numerous bonfires are lit on the mountains in Kyoto in the form of the hieroglyph “大” dai – big. For those who want to climb Mount Fuji, summer is the best time to travel to Japan. Official period climbing the mountain from mid-July to August 25.
Autumn in Japan is considered the high tourist season, as it is characterized by dry, warm weather favorable for travel. In November, the leaves of the maple trees that cover the mountains turn yellow and red, creating a natural carpet of amazing beauty. During this period, guests of Japan can admire not only scarlet maples, but also chrysanthemums. Exhibitions of chrysanthemums are held in all temple complexes and gardens. This flower has been a symbol of the Imperial House for over a millennium. The most popular among locals are trips to the national parks Tama, Nikko, Fuji-Hakone. In Tokyo, Kyoto, guests can also admire the natural autumn colors in gardens and parks.
At any time of the year, a trip to the mountains and springs of Japan is a great way to experience traditional Japanese culture. The geographical position of Japan is favorable for the formation of thermal springs. On the territory of the Japanese archipelago, there are approximately 245 volcanoes, 80 of which are active.
Japanese hot springs are distinguished by a variety of composition. Bathing in hot springs among natural beauties in the mountains, valleys or on the sea coast leaves an unforgettable impression of reconnecting with nature. There are also hot springs in caves, where warm mineral water bubbles from deep crevices in rock formations.
