Last minute tours to visa-free countries are more popular than travel to states where strict visa control... And this is not surprising. Many Russian tourists, going on vacation abroad, have repeatedly faced bureaucratic red tape associated with the need to obtain entry documents. Going through all the formalities takes a lot of time and effort, so when planning their next vacation, Russians are already deliberately choosing visa-free travel destinations. This not only allows you to save on the cost of the trip, but also save your time and nerves.

So, there are countries with simplified visa access, the procedure for issuing a visa takes place upon arrival at the place, which is very convenient. Indeed, in this case, you do not initially have to settle issues with the travel agency and consulate regarding obtaining permits. When passing control at the airport of arrival, it will be enough to present a passport, in isolated cases it will be necessary to confirm the reliability of intentions and show a sample tourist voucher or return air tickets.

Average prices for last minute tours to visa-free countries from Moscow
Traveling to countries without a visa on a last minute tour is the ideal and most common vacation option. The cost of such vouchers is really lower by 30-40% compared to conventional options, and the visa-free regime makes it easy to organize the trip itself. You can choose a tour 4-5 days before the expected date, buy it and get ready quickly. There is no need to worry about whether you will be issued a visa or not.
Entry to many exotic countries is visa-free; they are slightly less popular among tourists, since holidays in them are more expensive. But nevertheless, last-minute tours departing from Moscow are sold in them more often than to countries where Schengen is required.
Traveling to Europe was an expensive pleasure before, and given the new economic conditions, holidays are in the main European capitals have become an almost inaccessible luxury.
Fortunately, in addition to expensive London, Paris and Rome, there are cheaper European cities, so there is still an opportunity to see Europe and not go broke, you just need to carefully plan your trip and choose a direction. To make things easier for you, we have compiled a list of 10 interesting and inexpensive cities in Europe, where a weekend will not leave a hole in your budget.
1. Krakow
It is surprising that Krakow, one of the most beautiful and at the same time the cheapest cities in Europe, has not yet been appreciated by tourists. Krakow was the capital of Poland until the end of the 16th century, but even having lost this status, it has always remained the main cultural and scientific center countries. Fortunately, unlike Warsaw, during the Second World War, the city was practically not damaged, so there are many old buildings (there are thirty-nine churches alone), the medieval Jagiellonian University and a huge royal castle of the 13th century.
2. Budapest
Despite the fact that the popularity of the Hungarian capital for last years has grown a lot, prices are still relatively low here. If you choose a hotel not in the very center and use public transport, you can enjoy views of the Danube and classical architecture, while remaining within a modest budget. Be sure to visit one of Budapest's famous thermal baths, cross the river on the Chain Bridge and stroll around the Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion.
3. Lisbon
Even by European standards, Lisbon and its environs have a lot of attractions - castles, palaces and basilicas, and the decent cost of air travel to the Portuguese capital is more than offset by cheap hotels, restaurants and shops. If you plan to move a lot around the city on public transport or use the funiculars (including the famous city lift of Santa Justa), be sure to buy the Viva Viagem pass system, this will allow you to save additional money.
4. Prague
Prague has won the love of tourists from all over the world due to two factors: cheap Czech beer and a beautiful historical center. By attractiveness and saturation cultural monuments Prague is hardly inferior to the main Western European capitals, and a trip here will cost you significantly less than to Paris or Amsterdam. The only negative is that during the high season there are a lot of tourists in Prague, so choose the less popular months, since this city is beautiful at any time of the year.
5. Istanbul
One of ancient cities peace, Istanbul is considered a must-see for every history buff. Mosques, bazaars and amazing views of the Bosphorus will impress even the most experienced travelers. Today Istanbul captivates not only the rich cultural heritage, but also low prices, which, alas, fall in inverse proportion to the level of safety in the city.
6. Athens
Athens is an ideal city for a weekend - there are enough attractions here for just two days of sightseeing in a relaxed mode. One full day should be devoted to exploring the Parthenon and the Acropolis, you will need at least half a day to visit the luxurious archaeological museum of Athens, and if you still have time, visit the Monastiraki area to see the mosque and wander around the market. Despite the fact that Athens is one of the most expensive cities on our list, by European standards it is still a very cheap place, especially if you go there out of season, but in late autumn or even winter.
7. Split
Split is a less touristy copy of Dubrovnik: the same red roofs, white walls and views of the bay. The city is much cheaper and is located in Dalmatia, which is famous for its excellent beaches, so you can combine a visit to Split with a beach holiday nearby. In Split, of course, there is no grandiose city wall, like in Dubrovnik, but there is an ancient Roman palace of Emperor Diocletian, which is considered the best-preserved palace of the Roman era in the world.
8. Berlin
Despite the fact that Berlin is the capital of one of the richest countries in the eurozone, prices here remain relatively low. Of course, compared to the cities of Eastern Europe, the cost of a night in hotels and hostels in Berlin is not so attractive, but due to the popularity of the destination and a large number flights tickets to Berlin can be bought very inexpensively (especially if you take care of buying a few months before the trip).
9. Riga
If you have not been to Riga yet, try to correct this annoying oversight as soon as possible - after the transition to the euro, prices in this city are constantly growing. The historical center of Riga is fully consistent with the concept of a classic European city - open-air cafes, pretty squares surrounded by ancient buildings with tiled roofs, paved sidewalks. Well, the advantages of recreation in Riga for Russians are obvious: geographical proximity and the absence of a language barrier.
10. Ljubljana
Gradually, from a place that no one can find on the map, Ljubljana is turning into one of the most popular cities in Europe. It has everything you need for a classic European weekend: beautiful historical Center, good restaurants, architectural monuments, including a large, well-preserved medieval castle... We strongly recommend to go to the capital of Slovenia, while it has not yet begun to attract crowds of tourists and hotel prices have not jumped to the average European level.
