For Russian travelers, the beginning of the high season is traditionally in July. In the wake of huge demand, travel companies are ready to offer customers a wide range of tours for every taste. Many people still prefer to have a rest in the country, but every year the number of lovers of foreign travel is growing as well. Where can you go abroad in July 2019?
Popular destinations
Despite the fact that the number of Russians traveling abroad every year is not so great, the citizens of our country have managed to form their own popular destinations. In July 2019, as in previous years, a huge demand for holidays in Turkey is expected. This country attracts tourists with its picturesque nature, excellent service, a wide range of prices and opportunities for family vacations.
In general, the overseas resorts of the Mediterranean Sea remain the main alternative to the native Black Sea. European vacation, as a rule, comes out a little more expensive than trips to the same Turkey. But here, too, there are more expensive and budget options. If you want to save money, it is better to choose Cyprus, Bulgaria or at least Greece. Bulgaria is not only the cheapest of these options, but also suitable for those who do not tolerate extreme heat. In July, the most comfortable weather is set there, combined with the warm sea and decent service. In Greece and Cyprus, it will still be an order of magnitude hotter. But these two countries with a rich, ancient history offer ample opportunities for excursion programs and immersion in the distant past.
The ideal solution for July would be to combine beach and sightseeing holidays, which will not let you get bored on the beach. For these purposes, Russian tourists choose Spain, Italy, Portugal. For example, from Italian resorts on the Adriatic Sea, you can go on day trips to Florence, Venice or Verona. To enjoy the sea and Spanish architecture at the same time, tourists choose Madrid, Barcelona or Seville. Beautiful, interesting and so far not too popular among Russians holiday destinations in Spain - the Canary Islands and the island of Mallorca.
After problems with rest in Egypt, Tunisia has become a good substitute in this direction. A trip to an African country does not require a visa, vouchers are relatively inexpensive, and the natural conditions are absolutely gorgeous - white sandy beaches and a gentle descent into the sea.
Other holiday options abroad
In Europe, relatively new destinations for Russians are the resorts of Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Montenegro. In these countries, it is not too cheap, but they have one of the highest rates of cleanliness of the sea and beaches in comparison with other European states. In addition, given the common Slavic origin, the Russian language is well understood in the Balkan Peninsula. And Montenegro attracts domestic tourists with the possibility of visa-free visits.
In summer, for excursion purposes, it is comfortable to travel around the northern part of Europe - Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark. It is warm enough here, but not as hot as in the south, so you can visit museums, relax on local lakes and even make mountain climbing. Austria, Switzerland, Germany are also suitable for hiking and walking in July 2019. For excursions and sightseeing, bus tours are the best choice. You can also buy a ticket for a sea or river cruise, but it will be disproportionately more expensive.
For those who want to visit new exotic places and countries, tour operators offer to go to India, Brazil, Mexico. True, in July in these countries the weather is rather changeable, but there are not too many tourists, and the stifling heat is replaced by torrential rains. So that heavy precipitation does not spoil the whole vacation, you need to familiarize yourself with the weather in those places where you plan to travel in advance.
Despite the abundance of options, the final decision of where to go on vacation abroad in July 2019 depends, most often, on the financial capabilities of the traveler. On the other hand, the choice of tours is so huge that you can pick up decent budget options that will help you recharge your vacation mood for the whole year. If you are very limited in funds, it is still better not to leave the borders of your native country and relax in domestic resorts.
