Where to go on March 8 with your girlfriend or wife is a question that seriously worries men who are ready to please their companion with a bright journey.

Where to go on March 8, 2018 at sea?

To Vietnam or Thailand - close the tropical season

Formally, the swimming season in the tropics ends at the end of April, but it is on March days that a large influx of our compatriots is observed in the popularly beloved resorts of Southeast Asia. The weather is hot, in some regions there is no precipitation at all, and hotels often arrange good discounts for budget rooms.

If the choice fell on, then it is better to spend time in the south of the republic, where the resort and the neighboring village are the undisputed leader. The average air temperature these days is +26 ° C in the shade, precipitation will be exclusively at night, and waves in some areas will delight lovers of extreme swimming and surfing. and other resorts in the central part, on the contrary, it is not recommended to visit - in the spring there are showers and typhoons.

An alternative to the beaches -. The sea is far from the cultural and business capital of the republic, but there are thousands of museums, exhibition grounds and shopping centers. The weather will be a little cooler than on the coast, but for many hours of excursions and trips to markets and multi-storey shops with boutiques and salons, this is an ideal option.

D in March is suitable for any type of holiday, and if you go not only with a lady of the heart, but also with a child, you will have something to do, regardless of the chosen resort. On the islands in the tropics and on the mainland, these are from +25 ° C and above, and it practically does not rain, which is suitable for those who travel for the bright sun and dry sand on the coast.

For the sake of entertainment, it is suitable, moreover, both for the family format and for purely adult couples without children. Those who appreciate natural beauties, nature reserves with monkeys, birds and crocodiles are advised not to get out, and are also not averse to visiting Buddhist shrines. It is not advisable to visit the island in the spring - there is a high risk that you will fall into the intensifying equatorial monsoons, which bring prolonged precipitation.

The cost of spring tours to Thailand and Vietnam is approximately the same - a weekly trip for two with accommodation in a three-star hotel costs 60,000 rubles or more. The conditions of food and the availability of breakfast in the room must be found out on the spot.

In Goa - party in nightclubs

For young couples, and groups of girls who prefer to dance all night long, the most popular Indian state will offer profitable tours with direct flights from most Russian regions where there are international airports. conditionally divided into and , and if nightlife attracts you more than picturesque beaches, then the first option is the choice, where the main party places are concentrated that have glorified club music all over the planet.

The most popular institutions of this kind are:

• "Paradiso";
• Hilltop;
• Curlie's;
• "Cubana";
• Shiva Valley.

It is worth noting that each institution in Goa has its own pricing policy - somewhere the entrance is free, but you need to pay for everything inside, and somewhere you buy a ticket in the form of a wristband, the presence of which gives unlimited access to the bar and buffet . As for the shows themselves, they perfectly combine modern rhythms and traditional circus and acrobatic numbers - bright and original, as women of all ages love.

Romantic natures are better off enjoying the sunsets on the beaches of South Goa. Throughout March, the temperature here is kept at +28 ° C, and there is practically no gloomy sky. The only negative side is the strong undercurrents, which are not suitable for those who swim poorly. In extreme cases, it is better to be content with a hotel pool, if it is present, there will definitely not be any problems with it, including children if they fly with you.

And by the way, in March, India hosts a number of colorful holidays, and Goa becomes the venue for the annual Parade of Freaks - the event will be of interest to informal-minded girls who can also take part in it. Read more about Indian festivals in this section.

The price for March tours to Goa with a departure from Moscow starts from 38,000 rubles for two, however, accommodation at this cost will be in a small two-star hotel, but for young people such everyday moments will not seem difficult.

In the UAE - bask in the hot sun

It is better to visit in winter, but at the very beginning of March, the aggressive heat does not yet set in, and in key beach areas the air warms up to +34 ° C during the day. The desert climate is already making itself felt, but at any moment a cool sea and a delicious fruit cocktail from natural freshly squeezed juice awaits the guest, and there are enough oriental sweets in the UAE for everyone.

The list of the most popular places does not change -, and, and in that order. The purpose of the visit can be anything - from outdoor activities and walks with a loved one on a snow-white yacht to shopping. Among the most popular shopping areas are:

• "Ibn Batutta" and "Burjuman" in Dubai;
• Blue Market in Sharjah;
• Mont Blanc in Abu Dhabi.

Night club lovers often choose Dubai, there are not so many places, and entertainment is fully in line with strict Sharia law, which will have to be reckoned with. Mostly modern dance music sounds, with live concerts, unlike Thailand or Goa, the situation is sadder, and, of course, the prices for everything are significantly higher than those of their Asian neighbors.

As for the cost of tours in the UAE, they are 10-15% lower in March than in the high winter season. Discounts cover both the cost of tickets and accommodation, which is good news, and the minimum price of a ticket for two will be 75,000 rubles for two.

How to behave on vacation in the Emirates?

The United Arab Emirates are known for their strict laws, which primarily apply to foreigners who come here to rest. You need to know about them in advance, as well as be prepared for numerous restrictions. In order not to get into trouble on the very first day after arrival, you need to remember the following set of rules:

• Don't even try to share a room with a woman you're not officially married to. The presence of a stamp in the passport and the same surnames are a prerequisite. Otherwise, you will have to rent two adjacent rooms, and this is an extra waste.
• Being drunk on the street is a criminal offense for which tourists can be deported from the country with a ban on entry for several years.
• Girls are not allowed to sunbathe topless on the beaches, walk with a frank neckline and in tight mini-skirts. Men are strictly forbidden to show signs of attention to Arab ladies - this can be regarded as an insult to their honor, for which a huge fine is imposed in any emirate.
• You should not hint at a bribe to the police if you are “caught by the hand” for minor violations (for example, for throwing garbage past the bin). If the tourist behaves respectfully, then the case will be limited to a preventive disciplinary conversation.
• Obscene language in a public place and in any language, especially in Arabic, is punishable by a prison term of up to 5 years without the right to amnesty. Watch out for expressions.

Where to relax on March 8 in Europe?

In France - walking together in Paris

The most romantic European capital begins to blossom from the first spring days. The climate here is mild, and stories of March slush are often exaggerated, even though the number of sunny days is small. The air warms up to +15 °C by the holidays, but at night it can get colder up to +4 °C, which should not be forgotten. Otherwise, it is good in the spring, without long queues at museums and crowds of onlookers on the streets.

As for cultural programs for Parisians and guests from all countries, local authorities arrange a lot of surprises every year. It was during this time that the first movement of feminists was born, who consider March 8 to be their professional holiday, so on this day the doors of any museum, gallery are open for all women, and in cafes and bars visitors are entitled to at least a free glass of champagne or a cup of coffee at the expense of the institution.

Hotels also announce traditional discounts, so if someone dreamed of living in the central districts of Paris for a couple of days, admiring the Eiffel Tower, there is a chance that you won’t have to spend half of your vacation budget on this. But you won't be lucky with branded high fashion shows - they are scheduled for the second half of the month, in some cases - for April.

A trip for two to France will cost an average of 80,000 rubles, while tourists will definitely be accommodated in a comfortable room with a (modest) breakfast included. You don’t have to talk about luxury, for such money travel agencies will offer hotels without categories, family boarding houses or two-star chain complexes, but closer to the center.

In the Czech Republic - evaluate film festivals

Russian women love it, especially in spring and autumn, when the hospitable Czech capital is transformed not only due to its park areas, but also thanks to the bright posters that are hung out on the streets in honor of the festival days. The legendary “Prague Spring” takes place in May, but from the end of winter, both in the central regions and in the competitive run of the tapes, which anyone can visit.

Key events this month are:

• "Days of European Film";
• "Febiofest";
• "Anifilm";
• Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

If the movie lady is not too interested, then at any moment you can quit this idea and go for a walk, or go to the famous Czech castles, which are more numerous in the country than anywhere else in Europe. Prague Castle, bastions or gloomy Gothic churches - the choice is yours, the main thing is to have time to buy tickets.

Affordable prices for tours are another reason to choose the Czech Republic for a holiday trip. Long-term cooperation of travel agencies creates unique last-minute offers with a direct flight from Moscow or St. Petersburg for only 40,000 rubles. At the same time, accommodation is organized in a three-star hotel with its own kitchen, but meals are paid separately.

To Italy - admire Venice

Unfortunately, the spectacular carnival will be over by March, but even without it, it deserves to compete with Paris for the right to be called the romantic capital of Europe. Canals, bridges, marble squares, Doge's palaces and art museums - what else does a creative young lady need to feel the happiest in the world?

The events of Venice in March will not end with carnival processions - just at the beginning of the month, an old fun of gondoliers is planned - races along the canals through the entire city. Boat "taxi drivers" dress up in the colorful outfits of their family houses, which will create a feeling of a real trip to past centuries. Well, if the vacation lasts until mid-March, then you will surely find Father's Day, when the Venetians treat each other with donuts.

However, it is not at all necessary to be limited to one city, but to take any transport that goes to, or, and there already arrange a race, both in sights and in markets, outlets and other sales centers. There are fewer crowds of foreign guests in the spring, the queues are shorter, and the prices for everything are lower - why not a holiday?

Prices for trips to Russia for the spring months start at 45,000 rubles for a turnkey tour. Breakfast in the room, or in the hotel restaurant will be for sure, everything else, including excursion programs, is negotiated and recognized at the booking stage.

Where to go on March 8 inexpensively and tastefully?

To Georgia or Armenia - skiing

No matter how hard some politicians try to spoil relations between the former Soviet republics, in the Transcaucasus, Russians and beautiful Russian women are expected all year round. International Women's Day is also celebrated here, so it's better to start your weekend with a restaurant in or - believe me, the hospitality of the owners and special treats will not leave anyone indifferent, especially with a bottle of the national drink.

But what if a woman is not only a beauty, but also an athlete? Take her to the mountains, and Georgian resorts will give you so much fresh March snow that even experienced skiers will appreciate the opportunities for skiing. There are no luxury lifts and other luxury here yet, but there is excellent service, dozens of slopes and separate areas for snowboarders. Experienced instructors will help beginner athletes.

The Armenian base is more modest in terms of equipment, but it is much more convenient for beginners. Gentle slopes and high-speed lifts work for quick learning, and a single sports center with a huge indoor pool, gyms and long cross-country skiing harmoniously complements the modest resort. But the main value is the views from Mount Teghenis, from where, in good weather, almost everything is visible at a glance.

A holiday vacation in a really inexpensive place - weekly tours from 25,000 rubles are organized from Moscow, taking into account accommodation and meals. Armenia - even cheaper - from 18,000 rubles for two and hotel accommodation up to 4 stars of the declared comfort. The Caucasian republics organize meals in a two-time format with delicious home-cooked food.

To Latvia or Estonia - wander around the ancient cities

The Baltic republics, although they require a full-fledged Schengen visa from Russian citizens, in general, remain one of the cheapest European holiday destinations. And taking into account the richest cultural heritage of Latvian and Estonian cities, a spring trip can become a very informative tour and a reserve for future trips.

The seaside in March is not quite suitable for relaxation - it is still cold to swim, and the gloomy Baltic sky does not set you in a festive mood at all. Therefore, most of the tours are also devoted to its Old Center, which so often flashed in Soviet films in the role of French and German capitals. It will start to rain - it does not matter, because Riga coffee houses with a dozen varieties of delicious chocolate are open even in slushy weather.

More suitable for creative people who are ready to follow the life of street artists, attend marzipan workshops and attend chamber concerts of local rock bands playing in the underground style. If you do not share such original tastes of your young lady, then it is better to choose something else, otherwise the Estonian capital will remain misunderstood.

Regarding prices with a flight from Moscow to Riga, it’s really possible to meet 23,000 rubles for two, but then the issues of lunches and dinners must be resolved on the spot, choosing catering points away from tourist trails. it will cost almost twice as much - from 42,000 rubles, but here the chance of an organized breakfast in the room is already higher.

Where to go on March 8 in Russia?

To St. Petersburg - arrange romantic evenings

The cultural capital has long been included in the plans of most Russian women, if not to move forever, then at least for annual visits. And March 8 is a great occasion to visit to feel the Neva romance, the spirit of Russian classics and the impeccable style of the institutions of the Petrograd side. There are many recreation programs, but there is no need to talk about their originality, the feeling is that they compete with each other in this too.

Here are some examples of what to go on the main women's day:

• Listen to opera in the Mikhailovsky Castle;
• View a provocative installation at the Erarta Museum;
• Look at poetic duels in any literary cafe;
• Choose the most beautiful dog in the exhibition center "Etazhi";
• See the laser show on the facade of the Hermitage.

Some events have become annual, something is held once, so it’s impossible to say with certainty how Peter will surprise the girls in a year. Most museums will definitely have benefits, and they are not limited to free admission - surprises, gifts, flowers and champagne - it all depends on the imagination of the organizers, and everything is in perfect order with it in St. Petersburg.

For those who are not inspired by noisy parties, restaurants with outdoor terraces or access to the roof are suitable, where dinners for couples have long been organized with a bottle of French wine, a dish of author's cuisine and magnificent views of the lights of Nevsky Prospekt and swinging bridges, if we are talking about nightly adventures .

The average cost of a plane ticket to St. Petersburg from Moscow is 3,000 rubles, a room in an inexpensive family hotel in a residential area starts from 1,500 rubles per night. Prices for cultural and entertainment programs will depend on specific requests.

To Kaliningrad - buy amber

It is difficult to imagine the 8th of March without a gift in the form of jewelry, albeit not very expensive, but in the west of our vast country there is the Kaliningrad region, where amber is mined on an industrial scale - a beautiful and affordable stone. There is a museum here, where the most beautiful exhibits of sunny color are collected, and earrings, rings, beads, and other products are sold in shops, where an amber stone will always flaunt in the center.

Important: The customs service of the Kaliningrad airport carefully checks hand luggage and luggage if smuggling is suspected. The reasons for this are those who like to look for their own amber deposits on the banks of the nearest rivers. Such fishing is not prohibited by law, but you should not overdo it with export - they can confiscate it.

Having bought gifts, you can also relax, fortunately, there are no problems with sights in the region. Full-fledged excursions for the entire working day are dedicated to the Fish Village alone, and organ music concerts in the hall of the Lutheran Cathedral will finally convince guests that they are in an enlightened European country.

Airfare to Moscow starts from 5,000 rubles, and a room in a modest hotel in the city itself will cost 1,300 rubles. Amber products have a run-up cost of 500 rubles for beads and 250 rubles for a small souvenir or a bag of stones in bulk.

To Altai - to retire in the bosom of nature

The most popular Siberian region for tourists in the first month of spring has an unpredictable weather forecast. Sharp warming can be replaced by cold weather, and rains can be replaced by a winter blizzard. So, if you decide to go on March 8, take winter jackets, warm sweaters and comfortable shoes with you, not a single ticket is complete without hiking in the mountains or their environs.

Such a tour, first of all, is suitable for residents of large cities who are tired of noise, fuss and exhaust gases - clean mountain air, silence and lack of civilization will only benefit. It is better to choose the proven Chemalsky and Ulugansky districts, where there are many camp sites, electricity is provided in the buildings, and the bathroom is not a shed "in the yard". Well, large holiday homes in the area of ​​Lake Teletskoye are now being upgraded to SPA centers.

It is better to combine rest and recovery in the neighboring Altai Territory, in. For 80 years, the small town has been maintaining the reputation of a national health resort, where people come all year round to treat neurology, heart ailments, and a host of other disorders. There are forests around, there is a ski hill with a lift, and almost certainly in March there will still be snow.

Getting to certain areas of Altai is not easy, but the journey begins with a flight to - from Moscow tickets cost around 8,500 rubles - and then, according to the desired route. Do not forget that some high mountain roads are accessible only in summer, and snowmelt will not begin until mid-April.

Believe it or not, March 8th is International Women's Day. When, if not now, to arrange a romantic trip?

The wishes for the trip are clear: to be beautiful, with love and taste. And it is also desirable that it is inexpensive and without a visa. We tried to take into account all these requests and now we will tell you where to go on March 8, 2020.

Kaliningrad

Why you should go: Kaliningrad allows you to be in Europe without applying for a visa and without exchanging currency. It is also a beautiful city that the Germans built with the aim of making the Russians exclaim "Das ist fantastisch".

Things to do: first of all, to examine the Kaliningrad architecture, kindly provided to us by East Prussia. For example, thoroughbred villas of the German district of Amalienau, the Cathedral, Brandenburg and other ancient gates of Kaliningrad.

Of course, it is worth stopping by the Fish Village, enjoying the sounds of the organ (stress on the second syllable) in the neo-Gothic church and visiting the Amber Museum. If you like the exhibits, you can buy something similar for yourself at the nearest souvenir shop or look for pebbles on your own - on the shores of the Baltic Sea. Just don't take too much - you still have to cross the border on the way back.

To Kazan on March 8

Why you need to go: one of the few places where you can go on March 8 in Russia and feel the oriental exotic.

Things to do: take a walk around the Kazan Kremlin and be surprised that the Kul-Sharif mosque here quite peacefully coexists with an Orthodox cathedral, and the Syuyumbike tower stands and does not fall, even though its slope is no worse than that of Pisa.

Outside the Kremlin walls, miracles will continue: a little further away you can see the magnificent Palace of Farmers, from which even the sun king Louis XIV would have dropped his jaw. And on the Bauman pedestrian street, you can gently rub the belly not only of your young man, but also of the Kazan cat, and also buy a chak-chak, the authenticity of which would not cause doubts even from Lena Letuchaya.

It is still chilly in Kazan in March, but there is a place where you can take off your clothes and get high. And this is not a bedroom, as you might think from the first time, but the local Riviera water park, one of the best in Russia.

Nizhny Novgorod

Why you should go: many believe that Nizhny is the best city on the Volga (this opinion is especially often expressed by Nizhny Novgorod residents).

Things to do: take a walk through the old merchant places that will allow any woman to feel like a lady from Ostrovsky's plays. This will be facilitated by the mighty walls of the local Kremlin, the elegant Nizhny Novgorod fair and colorful cathedrals, in which the whiteness of the stone is effectively combined with the gilding of the domes.

Of course, you will not pass by the Volga itself. And if the legendary Katerina from the play of the above-named playwright drowned herself in the great Russian river, you can fly over it (over the Volga, and not over Katerina, of course). The fact is that a cable car is stretched over the river, which leads right up to another city - Bora. There is not much to see in Bor itself, but the way back will be just as exciting.

Caucasian Mineral Waters

Why go: for a fresh mountain climate and real healing water, which you cannot buy in Dixy and Pyaterochka.

Things to do: experience the unique healing properties of local sources. To do this, it is not necessary to live in a sanatorium - you can simply come to life-giving procedures, after which you will feel as cheerful and happy as Nastya Ivleeva when she gets an eagle.

It is naive to believe that the Minvody are good only as sanatoriums. It's like thinking that there are only kangaroos in Australia. Everything is in order with the excursion program in the Caucasus: you can walk among the estates of the century before last, walk in the footsteps of the great schemer Ostap Bender and the great poet Mikhail Lermontov.

Altai

Why you should go: this is a good way to escape from the life of the big city and merge with nature, turning from a tired businesswoman into a self-confident heroine of the Game of Thrones.

Things to do: walk against the backdrop of bewitching landscapes and breathe in the fresh mountain air. To this, you can add spa treatments based on the healing herbs of Altai.

To St. Petersburg on March 8

Why you need to go: because St. Petersburg is one of the most romantic cities in the country, and by International Women's Day it becomes even friendlier: even the Bronze Horseman begins to smile, forgetting about his battle with Pushkin's Evgeny.

Things to do: if you are going to St. Petersburg for the holidays, 3 days will pass unnoticed. First of all, go to Nevsky Prospekt, which is finally cleared of snow by March 8, as if realizing that at this time it is as indecent to be covered with snow as meeting your beloved girl in shabby Adidas sportswear.

Then - all the usual branches from the main St. Petersburg street: St. Isaac's Cathedral with its colonnade, the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood with its patterned vaults, Palace Square with its unique Hermitage, Rubinstein Street with its countless bars.

Ski resorts

Why you should go: soon the snow in the mountains will melt - and not so much from your ardent love for your other half, but from the weather.

Where to go: It is not necessary to go abroad, because in preparation for the Sochi Olympics, we have learned not only to build stadiums for billions of rubles, but also to create good ski resorts where you can relax with your loved one and with children.

First of all, it is Krasnaya Polyana. It was here that the Olympics were held, it was here that we defeated our rivals thanks to our strong-willed character and high-quality doping. There are excellent resorts in other regions of Russia: these are Sheregesh (Kemerovo region), Dombay (Karachay-Cherkessia), Kirovsk (Murmansk region) and Belokurikha (Altai Territory). The tracks are varied and well prepared everywhere - otherwise the tourists would not go to these resorts, but would go out to their yard, sit on a cardboard box and go down the hill, which the janitor Stepan Arkadievich filled after the shift with his eyes.

To Crimea on March 8

Why go: see the peninsula blooming after a winter sleep and personally see for yourself the reliability of the new Crimean bridge by driving along it in the mode of a satisfied emperor from a cartoon about a golden ring.

Things to do: at this time there are few tourists in the Crimea, so expanse will open before you: you can visit the Swallow's Nest without too much hustle, admire the mountains of Ai-Petri, Ayu-Dag and other peaks with mysterious names, walk among palaces, gardens and caves, without fear of colliding with with crowds of vacationers, or with the Yeti.

It is better to go to the Crimea in March also because at this time you can relax here quite on a budget: the high season has not yet begun. The money that you save on rent will allow you to make a more decent bouquet for the women's holiday.

Tbilisi

Why you need to go: to make the trip not only interesting, but also tasty (March 8 is a great excuse to forget about counting calories).

Things to do: to make sure that the gastronomic paradise is not in the "Azbuka Vkusa", but in Tbilisi. However, you will need to whet your appetite: picturesque streets, mountainous terrain and viewing platforms will help in this. After the soul receives emotions, the stomach can have a feast: khachapuri, khinkali, chicken with satsivi sauce, Georgian wine. However, let's finish this enumeration, because we still need to finish the article, and too active thoughts about food will not allow us to do this.

Riga

Why go: this is a light version of Europe (although the locals insist that this is a full release with all the necessary options).

Things to do: films were often shot in Riga in which the Latvian capital "played" London, Berlin and Paris. The local European atmosphere can surprise any lady on March 8. In addition, the streets in Riga are as winding as a woman's soul - and this is another reason to come here for the upcoming holiday.

In the capital of Latvia, you must definitely climb the observation deck in St. Peter's Church. If it's chilly, go downstairs and warm up in local cafes. By the way, they make delicious chocolate in Riga: feel free to treat your beloved to it - it's better than giving the Soviet "Alenka" as a gift, although we also have nothing against this brand with a cute cheeky girl.

Beach holidays on March 8

In March, it is also possible, but not here. But from Moscow and other large cities, you can easily fly to distant countries:

1. Egypt. In March, there is off-season, so you can save money, including in Sharm el-Sheikh. True, in early spring, the ancient Egyptian gods send quite a strong wind to the local resorts, so there may be problems with swimming. An alternative is to visit the pyramids and other sights.

2. Emirates. Oil sheiks are able to buy anything, even good weather. By the end of March, summer heat comes to Abu Dhabi and other cities, which creates ideal conditions for a beach holiday.

3. Israel. You can go to this country for different purposes - and with excursion, and with pilgrimage, and with the beach. On the coast of the Red Sea in March it is already around +26 °С, on the Mediterranean it is cooler - about +18 °С. You can go to Eilat, which is located on the Red Sea. Here, the conditions for recreation are excellent, and the water is warm.

One of the reasons to look forward to spring is a mini-vacation in honor of International Women's Day. In 2020, March 8 falls on a Sunday, which means we have a rest for 3 days in a row, from March 7 to March 9. For those who want to spend the holiday in a special way, this is the perfect excuse to go on a trip.

A trip on March 8 will allow you to change the usual environment and will be a great gift for your fair half. Three days is enough to go to any city or fly to Europe. If you want to relax longer, it is better to take a few more days on account of the vacation.

When planning a trip in early March, it is worth remembering that it can be cool in some cities. For the warm sea and the sun, you need to fly to distant countries: for example, in or on. On the eve of the holidays, increased prices for air tickets, tours and hotels are also possible, but sometimes you can buy a last-minute discounted ticket.

Sochi, Russia

Warm in every sense of the memory of the spent March 8 will leave. According to weather reports for previous years, these days in the city you can expect an air temperature of +15 ... +19 °C. Of course, the sea is still cold for swimming, but nothing prevents you from walking along the embankment and breathing in the sea air.

As part of the entertainment program, you can spend time at the Sochi Discovery World Aquarium, visit the Olympic Park and take pictures against the backdrop of sports facilities. Not far from the park is another interesting place - the Museum of the USSR. Here you can see over 5000 things from the Soviet past: these are clothes, toys, and various household items. Nostalgia guaranteed!

If you want an active holiday, the ski slopes are at your service. In March, prices for ski passes fall, and there are fewer people on the slopes. For thrills, head to AJ Hackett's Skypark in Sochi. Here you can walk along the suspension bridge over the Akhtyrsky Gorge, jump off the bridge with a rope or fly over the abyss on a swing.

An ideal option for celebrating March 8 is the Belgian city of Bruges. There are many canals and bridges in Bruges, and the name of the city itself is translated as "bridge". Cozy streets with medieval houses and churches give a special charm to the city. For its well-preserved ancient architecture, Bruges is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Bruges, Belgium

Be sure to visit the central Markt square with its "gingerbread" houses. It is so beautiful and festive here that you will feel like in a fairy tale. Do not forget to climb the Belfort Bell Tower - there is an observation deck from which you can clearly see the surroundings. Inside the bell tower they filmed one of the scenes of the film "Low Down in Bruges" with Colin Farrell.

Bruges central square, Belgium

What is Belgium without waffles and chocolate? At the Bruges Chocolate Museum, you can learn the history of your favorite delicacy and taste different varieties for free. Also in Bruges, beer lovers will like it, because local beer has a decent taste and is sold in every catering establishment.

Waffles - a traditional Belgian dessert

Since you are in Bruges, do not miss the opportunity to "lie down" in that very hotel. Rooms in a four-star boutique hotel are not cheap, but if the budget allows, why not?

When going to Bruges, be sure to take warm clothes and shoes with you. In March, the air temperature is only +10...+12 °C, precipitation is possible.

Rome, Italy

March 8 is considered not just a "women's holiday", but a day of struggle for women's rights. On this day, rallies and strikes are traditionally held, and public transport often does not work. But this is not a reason to refuse to travel - after all, Rome is good because you can walk endlessly along its ancient streets.

The daily air temperature in March usually reaches +15 °C, but the weather is changeable, it is better to take an umbrella and a warm jacket with you. At the beginning of spring, tangerine trees begin to bloom, and the streets are filled with a pleasant smell.

On March 8, it is customary for women to give mimosa sprigs, bouquets are sold at every corner. In the cafe you can order a festive dessert "mimosa" - a biscuit cake with custard, sprinkled with pieces of yellow biscuit. In gelateria, in honor of the holiday, mimosa ice cream is sold. Many Roman cafes and restaurants offer festive programs for women.

Colosseum, Rome

You should definitely visit the museums. For women on March 8, there is free admission to all museums. In addition, the Week of Culture is held in early March. These days, both women and men can visit several attractions at once for free: the Colosseum, the National Roman Museum, the Baths of Caracalla and the Borghese Gallery. And since March is considered a non-tourist month, there is a chance to avoid long queues.

Lisbon, Portugal

If you want the warmth and smell of the Atlantic Ocean, head to Lisbon, the capital. Already in early March, the air in Lisbon warms up to +20...+22 °C - meet summer a couple of months earlier.

One of the oldest cities in Europe, Lisbon attracts thousands of tourists with its magnificent old architecture, delicious food and relaxed atmosphere. The spirit of the city is best felt on the Place de la Commerce, where you can sit on the steps by the Tagus River, watching the waves.

While walking around the city, be sure to visit the cathedral, the castle of St. George and the azulejo museum - this is the name of the traditional ceramic tiles with patterns, which the Portuguese use to line the walls of houses.
