On the eve of the holiday season, most Russians begin to plan their summer vacation. Unfortunately, not every potential tourist has a visa. And here the question arises: where to go on vacation without a passport? Of course, the treasured little red book opens doors to Europe or Asia, to different countries and to different continents. But there are a lot of wonderful resorts, historical monuments and stunning natural complexes in different countries where you can go on vacation without having a passport.

Where do they not ask for a passport?

Let's figure out where you can go without a passport? If you are not a fan of long-distance flights, you can always spend your vacation in the vast expanses of the former Soviet Union. True, not all countries that were republics of a huge country will allow you to enter their territory not only without a foreign passport, but also. The entire Baltic region has become a Schengen zone; Georgia will not be allowed into the territory without a foreign passport. But we still have a lot of places where we can relax without this document:

  • Any point in the Russian Federation
  • Belarus
  • Ukraine

For example, the resorts of the Krasnodar and Stavropol Territories are accessible to everyone without exception. Visit any of them and your vacation will take place.

Tuapse. Along the coast there are boarding houses, campsites, recreation centers, and a water park. You can come here with children, a youth group, by train or by car, in any case the sun and sea will be yours.

Anapa- one of the largest children's resorts. It is famous for its golden beach, attractions, mud baths and numerous children's health resorts. On the outskirts of Anapa, archaeological excavations are underway at the ancient city of Gorgipia, which existed 2,500 years ago. In summer there is a great holiday at sea, and in winter sanatoriums offer effective spa treatment.

Gelendzhik famous for its water park, as well as a relaxing holiday, the availability of cheap fruit and inexpensive housing. Along with boarding houses, you can relax in private hotels, of which a large number have appeared.

Lazarevskoe– a resort town near Sochi combines sea and mountain air, which gives an excellent healing effect. Fans of active recreation can not only swim in the sea, but also take tireless walks in the mountain spurs of the Caucasus.

Sochi. The most famous all-Russian resort with an excellent climate. The famous Matsesta has miraculous hydrogen sulfide springs. Vacationers from sanatoriums, holiday homes and hotels are taken by bus for procedures to the Matsesta hospital. The Sochi beach, stretching for 146 km, annually attracts hundreds of thousands of people - lovers of sea swimming and sunbathing. And of course you need to see the Olympic venues and Sochi Park.

Resorts of Crimea attract, as before, with their unique climate and the opportunity to improve health and heal the body. This is now Russian land and you can go there without a passport.

Visit Yalta and walk through Chekhov's places, take a sea voyage to the Swallow's Nest castle, rising 40 meters above the sea. Enjoy the climb to Mount Ai-Petri, explore numerous caves. Also in Crimea there are such resorts as Alupka, Sudak, Gurzuf, Miskhor and many others.

A small country that had recently experienced the horrors of war did not become any less beautiful. Abkhazia stretches along the sea coast, which means kilometers of beaches. Gagra, Pitsunda, Athos - these resorts have always been loved by the Soviet people. During the season it was difficult to get tickets to sanatoriums on the seashore in Abkhazia.

Now it’s not difficult to go to Abkhazia, just buy a ticket. And renting a home is simple and inexpensive. As before, Pitsunda is the most picturesque and cozy corner of Abkhazia. Here you have the opportunity to stay in once-chic hotels on the seashore. Of course, the service here is simple and uncomplicated, but it comes from the heart. “We will give everything we have so that the vacationers are happy and come again.” There are not many tourists on the beaches, so the beaches are much cleaner than in Sochi, and the air of relict pine trees has healing properties.

Lake Ritsa is an excellent route, a visit to the Athos caves should be included in your visit schedule, Gagra is unique in its history, so the impressions of the trip will be positive.

Man does not live by the sea alone

Fraternal Republic Belarus ready to receive tourists in any corner. In the summer this means fishing on lakes, mushrooms and berries in the forests, excursion tours to Minsk, Brest and other cities. In winter you can go to Belarus to Belovezhskaya Pushcha. The Belarusian Father Frost lives there. Give your children a fabulous New Year. The Pushcha is a protected area; animals that are listed in the Red Book live there. Children will be interested to see them.

The main advantage of Belarus is low prices for vacations, food, and entertainment. A very good option for budget travelers.

It has become an independent country that does not require a foreign passport. And it’s worth going to this amazing region. You will enjoy excursions to the beautiful cities of Almaty and Astana. You can also visit the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Numerous national parks will captivate you with their natural beauty. In summer you can relax on Lake Balkhash, and in winter Kazakhstan has its own mountain resorts Chimbulak and Tabagan in the Altai mountains. Such a vacation can be inexpensive, but excellent.

With a passport, but without a visa

This option also needs to be considered. Your passport is still valid, but not every country will allow you to enter. Travel to visa-free countries. There are enough of them to choose from. These are loved for their democratic relaxation and excellent service:

  • Egypt
  • Türkiye
  • Israel
  • Tunisia
  • Morocco
  • Vietnam and Thailand

Choose a country. Book a hotel. Buy tickets online. And fly like a white-winged bird towards new adventures! All these countries have the sea, beaches, plenty of exotics, and fresh tropical fruits. IN Montenegro, for example, kiwi grows in courtyards, like wild grapes in our garden gazebos.

In addition to relaxing at sea, you can visit the Bay of Kotor by ship, wander through the ancient cities of Budva, Kotor, Sveti Stefan, Bar. You can take a boat trip, a trip to a monastery or to Lake Skadar.

Israel captivates with its ancient history and Orthodox shrines. Tunisia and Morocco with its unusual culture and high-quality service, as well as wellness treatments. A Thailand simply an extraordinary country that you want to visit again.
