Новогодние каникулы в России: 11 идей для путешествий

С наступлением новогодних каникул Москва превращается в одну из крупнейших рождественско-новогодних площадок Европы. Редакция Localway рассказывает, почему, стоит остановить выбор на столице, яркой, сияющей и волшебной.

«В последние годы активно и креативно развивается парковая среда Москвы. В большинстве самых значимых ПКиО планируются предновогодние развлекательные программы с курантами и речью президента на большом экране. В Парке Горького, Сокольниках и ВДНХ можно встречать главную ночь года и утро нового дня на скорости: катки открыты, звучит отличная танцевальная музыка, где-то даже можно отведать шампанского. Большое количество выкроенного заранее времени, а также теплая, очень теплая одежда и обувь понадобится вам для празднования на Красной площади. Чтобы послушать куранты в месте их непосредственного боя, нужно преодолеть немало трудностей, в первую очередь, пройти несколько полицейских кордонов с обысками в целях безопасности (проносить напитки и еду, хлопушки, фейерверки нельзя). Поэтому приезжать нужно сытыми и сильно заранее: проход на Моховую и Тверскую улицы закрывается уже в начале двенадцатого. Однако все это не испортит поистине магического момента встречи Нового года в самом сердце столицы и невероятной красоты главного салюта страны.

Во время новогодних каникул в Битце, Лосином острове, Покровском-Стрешневе устраивают снежные и ледяные горки, открывают точки прокаты инвентаря и пикниковые зоны с мангалами. В некоторых парках прокладывают лыжню. В Царицыно и Коломенском всегда интересны и обычные пешие прогулки, а на территории Кузьминского лесопарка находится московская резиденция Деда Мороза. 

Во всем остальном столица вообще самая щедрая и хлебосольная хозяйка: даже если каждый день открывать что-то новое для себя, за 10 дней все равно не успеешь всего, что предлагает этот город театров и музеев. В последних на время праздников обещают скидки и специальные рождественские вернисажи и выставки. В центре города, у главных станций метро (таких, как Площадь Революции, Театральная, Кузнецкий Мост) и на пешеходных улицах будут работать новогодние ярмарки и базары.

Для детей открывают свои двери театры и мьюзик-холлы с потрясающими цирковыми, кино- и ледовыми представлениями. Самая знаменитая Кремлевская ёлка всё так же популярна, поэтому билеты лучше покупать заранее. Визит сюда можно совместить с посещением церквей на территории Кремля или прогуляться до Храма Христа Спасителя: всю рождественскую неделю в московских храмах идут торжественные богослужения. 

Любителей в каждом городе искать местную гастрономическую специфику придется огорчить – колоритных и самобытных московских блюд в столице практически не осталось. Хотя найти рестораны со старомосковской и русской кухнями не трудно. Там вам предложат Московский калач, осетрину по-московски, расстегаи с грибами и рисом, московские пряники. А еще лучше — брать на прогулку в термосе чай с чабрецом и наслаждаться выпечкой и сладостями с городских ярмарок.»

Куда пойти на каникулах:

• Красная площадь
• Главный Универсальный Магазин
• ГМИИ имени Пушкина
• Государственная Третьяковская галерея
• Большой театр
• Парк Горького
• Музей современного искусства «Гараж»
• Парк искусств «Музеон»
• Театральный центр имени Мейерхольда
• Театр Наций
• МХТ имени Чехова
• Дом Мельникова
• Патриаршие пруды
• Коломенское
• Архангельское

• Павло-посадские платки;
• Белевская пастила; 
• Конфеты фабрики «Красный Октябрь»

Санкт-Петербург

Возможно, лучшего места для проведения каникул и не придумаешь, разве что климат может чуть напугать, но теплая шапка и ватные штаны заставят вас забыть о таких мелочах, ведь в Питере будет так весело! В городе Петра, который привил когда-то россиянам культуру празднования Нового года, до и после боя курантов ярчайшие салюты и шумное празднование будут почти повсеместно: масштабные гулянья на площади Искусств, Невском проспекте и Стрелке Васильевского острова, иллюминация и танцы на побережье Финского залива. Самая большая елка и веселье будут, конечно, на Дворцовой площади. Попасть сюда все же проще, чем на Красную в Москве, но эмоций никак не меньше! Масса счастливых людей в красивейшем историческом пространстве и в ожидании чуда. А для особо оригинальных — интересной традицией становится встреча Нового года на старых петербургских крышах!

Что делать после того, как 2015-й наступил — вопрос очень серьезный. Потому что выбрать маршрут путешествия по Петербургу невероятно трудно. Существует множество вариантов пеших прогулок для смотра потрясающих архитектурных и культурных достопримечательностей, повсюду зажгут огни рождественские базары, маркеты и ярмарки (самая большая состоится на Пионерской площади перед ТЮЗом им. А.А. Брянцева).

Посетите крупный блошиный рынок около станции метро «Удельная» и обязательно выделите день для поездки в уникальные дворцовые и парковые комплексы Петергофа, Пушкина, Павловска. Фонтаны не работают, но масштабы и красота построек впечатляют не меньше, чем в теплое время года. К тому же зимние фотографии из этих мест выглядят куда оригинальней. Восторг многих туристов вызывает Выборг и Гатчина. Кстати, во многих музеях в праздники работают скидки для посетителей (иногда еще и в театрах, коих здесь великое множество). Насыщенную культурную программу можно разбавить обычной прогулкой по набережным, паркам и скверам, заглянуть в пресловутые питерские «колодцы», погреться в уютных кофейнях. У Петропавловской крепости будет работать Ледяная выставка, чуть ли не как при Елизавете. И, кто знает, может, вам удастся попасть на один из пышных новогодних балов в царских дворцах?

Между таким количеством мест и событий, не забудьте полакомиться пышками в легендарной «Пышечной» у ДЛТ на Большой Конюшенной. В номер гостиницы или хостела купите «Ленинградский» торт. Или вам больше по душе «Василеостровское» пиво?

Куда пойти на каникулах:

• Государственный Эрмитаж
• Дворцовая площадь
• Исакиевский собора

• Русский музей
• Блошиный рынок на «Удельной»
• Кунсткамера
• Петергоф
• Гатчина
• Петропавловская крепость
• Новая Голландия (вход закрыт, но можно осмотреть остров с внешней стороны)

• Изделия императорского фарфорового завода;
• Конфеты и шоколад местной кондитерской фабрики им. Крупской;

Безусловно, «третья столица России», как место туристического паломничества, прекрасна в любое время года. Чем хороша именно в новогодние праздники? А тем, что местная инфраструктура позволяет совместить активный зимний отдых с насыщенным экскурсионным путешествием. Для возведения момента боя курантов в ранг волшебного, снимите коттедж на горнолыжном курорте «Казань» и празднуйте в уютном кругу родных и близких. В первых числах января можно смело отправляться на склоны (как новичкам, так и более опытным горнолыжникам) и испробовать весь спектр зимних развлечений: сноуборд, катание на санках и ватрушках, прогулки на свежем воздухе. Если замерзнете, не забудьте понежиться в водах крупнейшего в России аквапарка «Ривьера».

Which Is Correct? 90001 90002 The last thing you want to worry about when ringing in the new year is where to put the apostrophe. Get the nitty-gritty on New Year, New Year’s, and New Years so you can make a toast at midnight and get your punctuation right while you’re at it. 90003 90002 90005 When is it «New Year’s»? 90006 90003 90002 Use the apostrophe-S in «New Year’s» when you’re talking about December 31 or January 1 resolutions you’re making, or other things that «belong» to the New Year.90003 90002 90011 Here’s a tip: 90012 Want to make sure your writing always looks great? Grammarly can save you from misspellings, grammatical and punctuation mistakes, and other writing issues on all your favorite websites. 90003 90002 Let’s get grammatical. Apostrophes are the way the English language shows possession or that something belongs to another thing. Here are the three most common uses of New Year: 90003 90016 90017 New Year’s Eve: the eve of the New Year 90018 90017 New Year’s Day: the first day of the New Year 90018 90017 New Year’s resolution: something you say you’re going to do for the New Year 90018 90023 90002 In all three cases, there’s a relationship of belonging between the New Year and the noun: the eve, the day, and the resolution are all specifically related to the New Year (it’s not just any resolution), so «New Year’s» becomes the modifier for each noun.90003 90002 90005 Examples: 90006 90003 90016 90017 «I like going to big parties on New Year’s.» (This implies «New Year’s Eve,» so «New Year’s» is possessive as a shortcut for referring to December 31.) 90018 90017 «I like staying at home and watching movies on New Year’s Day.» ( «New Year’s» usually means «New Year’s Eve,» and people usually specify «New Year’s Day» when they’re talking about January 1.) 90018 90017 «Let’s have New Year’s brunch.» (The brunch is in honor of New Year’s Day.) 90018 90017 «My New Year’s resolution is to remember where the apostrophe goes in New Year’s.» (The resolution belongs to the New Year. And now you can do it too!) 90018 90023 90002 Also, note that «New Year’s» is capitalized because it’s referring to a holiday or a specific event. 90003 90002 90005 When is it «New Year»? 90006 90003 90002 Here’s what to say at midnight (and for the first couple weeks of January): Happy New Year! 90003 90002 You also say «New Year» with no possessive apostrophe-S when you’re talking about the year as a whole.»New Year’s» refers to one night, one day, and one resolution (or a lot of resolutions-we do not judge). But «new year» usually comes up when people are talking generally about the year, often before it’s begun or when it’s still early in the year. 90003 90002 90005 Examples: 90006 90003 90016 90017 «December is really hectic, so let’s get lunch in the new year.» 90018 90017 «Now that it’s the new year, I have so much more time.» 90018 90017 «Happy New Year!» 90018 90023 90002 You capitalize «New Year» when you’re talking about the holiday or the big day, but not when you’re referring to the new year as a timeframe.90003 90002 90005 When is it «New Years»? 90006 90003 90002 New Year’s is the end of one year and the beginning of another year. There are two years involved-the old one and the new one-but only one of them is new. 90003 90002 That means you’ll never have the occasion to say «Happy New Years.» «Years» is plural, and in this galaxy at least, only one year happens at a time. 90003 90002 What if you’re talking about new years in the plural? Here’s one example: 90003 90016 90017 «New years always give opportunities for reflecting, celebrating, and resolving to do things differently in the future.»90018 90023 90002 In this case, the subject is multiple new years, or every single year, at least when it starts. This sentence could also be rephrased to focus on the New Year’s holiday: «New Year’s always gives opportunities for reflecting, celebrating, and resolving to do things differently in the future.» 90003 90002 Note that this version puts the focus on the event of December 31-January 1, instead of every new year. This emphasis is more common. When people talk about a celebration over multiple years, a tradition every December 31, or a generalization about the new year, the term of choice is generally «New Year’s.»This is because in most cases,» New Year’s «is a shortcut for» New Year’s Eve, «and the name of the holiday functions as an adjective. 90003 90002 90005 Examples: 90006 90003 90016 90017 «Every New Year’s I go to a party and we listen to ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ at midnight.» 90018 90017 «All New Year’s parties in bars are overpriced.» 90018 90023 90002 Now you’re all set to celebrate New Year’s, start your new year off strong, and resolve to use apostrophes right in all future new years.Oh, and by the way-happy New Year! 90003 90002 90003 .90000 Best Places and Ways to Celebrate New Year’s Eve in Japan 90001 90002 90003 Valerie Taylor 90004 Valerie Taylor is the 90005 Local Contributing Writer 90006 at Global Storybook (Japan). 90007 Valerie (also known as «Eri») is a modern day nomad based in Tokyo, Japan.

Once December 26 90013 th 90014 hits — the Christmas decorations disappear, while the New Year’s decorations miraculously appear instead. Cultural ornaments hit the shelves and people start hanging up wreaths of bamboo and pine (also known as 90005 «shimenawa» 90006), made of ropes to ward off evil spirits. 90008 90007 90019 Though most people enjoy being home for the holidays, if you find yourself in Japan for the New Year’s (also called 90005 Shogatsu 90006), you are certainly in for a treat.Here are the best events * and ways to ring in the New Year in Japan: (* please note: though most event pages provided below are published only in Japanese, that does not mean that tourists are not welcome!). 90008 90003 90024 1. Countdown Parties 90025 90004 90007 Looking for a more Westernized countdown party? Japan does not have a shortage of events to help bring in the New Year. Though you might find that these gatherings do not necessarily compare to the intensity of the Times Square in NYC on NYE’s, the energy is just as electrifying.Here are some great locations for the countdown parties throughout Japan: 90008 90010 90030 Hanayashiki de Toshimatagi Illumination Countdown 90031 90011 90007 The event’s website is in Japanese, so here is the gist of the party: you pay 2,000-3,000 yen for a ticket and can go on as many rides as you want until the new year. There’s also live entertainment for you to enjoy. An added advantage is being able to immediately get to the 90005 Sensoji Temple 90006 from 90005 Hanayashiki Amusement Park 90006 for a religious ceremony.90008 90039 90007 90005 Sensoji temple in Asakusa 90006 90008 90010 90030 Namja Countdown Party 90031 90011 90007 Have you heard of Namja Town in Sunshine City, Ikebukuro?
