In Yerevan there are many historical and religious monuments
Yerevan, Armenia
Stroll along the streets of one of the most ancient cities on the planet, explore the ruins of Erebuni, go to the famous Lake Sevan, taste legendary cognac, look at Ararat – all this can be done by booking tickets to Yerevan. The hospitality of the locals knows no bounds. To national music and endless toasts, you will be fed and watered to your heart's content in any Yerevan cafe.
Being one of the most beautiful tourist centers of the Transcaucasus, Yerevan also remains perhaps the cheapest among them. The cost of a night in a hotel is much lower than in Moscow and European cities. And this city will give no less impressions.
Ohrid, Macedonia
Macedonia has already joined the Balkan countries that offer a simplified visa regime for Russians (at least during the high tourist season). It would be a sin not to take advantage of this opportunity and not visit places that are in no way inferior to Montenegro and Croatia. Magnificent mountain landscapes and vineyards, lakes and Byzantine churches. No matter how you look at it, Ohrid in Macedonia must definitely be included in the program of visiting the Balkans.
The capital of the country – Skopje – can rightfully be considered the heart of Macedonia. Lush greenery growing along the shores of the lake of the same name, traditional villas where you can stay overnight for as little as 10 euros per person, and of course, a medieval castle, as if looking down from above at what is happening on the narrow streets of Ohrid. For a comfortable stay, you can stay in a B&B type hotel. This will cost about 50 euros per night – significantly cheaper than in other Balkan and Eastern European countries. Hiking, river rafting and swimming enthusiasts are awaited by Galicica National Park.
Mekong Delta, Vietnam
Vietnam, fiercely competing with Thailand in the tourism market, has still not caught up with its neighbor in terms of prices. Although Thailand can hardly be called an expensive destination! But Vietnam is still beyond competition. You can easily buy relatively cheap air tickets there. Accommodation and guided tours in this country are very cheap. Experts advise visiting not only Ho Chi Minh City and resorts, but also going somewhere more adventurous, such as Ben Tre, Chau Doc, Ha Tien, Tra Vinh or Vinh Long. In Vinh Long, you can see unusual floating markets, which are one of the symbols of trade in Southeast Asia.
Merida, Mexico
Many are already familiar with the Mexican resorts of Cancun and Yucatan – also quite affordable in price. However, historical mansions in Merida are rented much cheaper than villas in Cancun. Merida – a lively town located a few hours drive from the coast inland – is a true delight for gourmets, as well as those interested in national customs, life and art of Mexico.
The center of this city is very interesting, its architecture is in classic Spanish colonial traditions. On Plaza Grande, there are several cathedrals built in the 16th century and free art museums and galleries. Excursions to places related to the Maya civilization are also quite affordable. And the fiery dances that locals perform on the streets on weekends can be enjoyed completely free of charge.
