For those who spent the whole summer in Moscow and worked non-stop, we recommend going to Dubai. Now there is that summer that any resident of the metropolis dreams of, who summer months wore a coat and watched the rain outside the window. Throughout September, the temperature in Dubai varies from +34 to +36, and there are no cloudy or cloudy days on the calendar!

Dubai is also attractive in terms of visas. Firstly,

Since February 1, visas to the UAE have become free of charge, which means that the trip has become cheaper by another $75.

Secondly, you no longer need to apply for a visa in advance, so you can break into Dubai even tonight, you just need to buy a ticket.

In addition to skyscrapers, shopping, luxurious beaches Persian Gulf and water in which you splash like in warm milk (or in soup - but then it is already unpleasant), in Dubai you can immerse yourself in the world of contemporary art or pay attention to Muslim fashion - a lot of interesting things have appeared here over the past few years.

Montenegro


Varvara Gertier/RIA Novosti

It is possible and necessary to go to Montenegro in the fall - when the temperature does not go off scale for +35, touching wilting begins to appear in nature, the danger of encountering a forest fire disappears, the beaches become freer, and figs and grapes appear in the markets (in July, there are also figs , but you didn’t have time to go there in July?). The absence of tiring heat means that you will not lie helplessly in a hammock for days on end and will be able to travel around the country, which, in addition to the beaches of Budva and the sunsets of Kotor, has a lot to offer.

For example, Cetinje is the cultural capital of Montenegro, which no one goes to in the summer of their own free will, because they really don’t want to move away from the sea. Here you can go to the National Museum of Montenegro and the Cetinje Monastery, see the oldest libraries in the country, find out what students of the Faculty of Fine Arts and the Faculty of Drama, as well as the Music Academy of the University of Montenegro look like, take a walk in the parks in the English and French style.

In general, in Cetinje in autumn you can stop feeling like a sweaty vegetable and learn something about the culture and history of Montenegro,

because this is not just a resort, but a city where Prince Ivan I Chernojevic founded his residence in 1482, and in 1838 he built the first secular residence of Montenegrin rulers, the fighter for the independence of the country, Peter II Negosh, loved by Montenegrins.

You do not need a visa to travel to Morocco. You can swim and sunbathe in Agadir throughout September, the air temperature during the month will not drop below + 27. However, in Agadir you can not only sunbathe.

For example, you can visit the wild animal ranch Domaine Villate Limoune, where porcupines, kangaroos, camels, peacocks live. Or head to the city's main market, Souk El Had, where you can buy everything from babushka slippers, pottery and stoles to oils, olives, dates and oranges.

Nice, France

If the heat makes you dizzy, and the word "tan" means "premature aging", go to the Cote d'Azur in September-October. The sun no longer burns here, but the weather is still good - the temperature ranges from + 22 to + 25. You can still swim in such weather, although there is already something to do in Nice. For example, you can go to the Museum fine arts or take a walk in the Botanical Garden, where more than 3.5 thousand plants are represented. Hikers are recommended to visit Old city(here, by the way, you can visit the opera at the same time), and archeology fans can look into the Family quarter and see

an arena for gladiator fights, an antique bath complex and the remains of ancient buildings.

Holidays in Nice are also suitable for shopaholics - the range of boutiques on Rue de France is in no way inferior to the world's fashion capitals.

The biggest advantage of a holiday in Nice is the opportunity to make your holiday even more intense by going to nearby Cannes and Monaco. The cities are only 30 minutes away from each other. Enough impressions from what you see will last for the whole holiday: casinos, premium car salons, yachts at arm's length, the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival and many Michelin-starred restaurants.

We recommend that nature lovers visit the Arboretum, where you can feel the summer to the fullest. Or go see the waterfalls. There are Agur waterfalls to choose from - the most popular among tourists, Azhek waterfall - these are the two most beautiful waterfalls, and the highest waterfall - Orekhovsky (28 m). A one-day trip to Abkhazia (travel time will take about 3 hours) or to the mountains can diversify the trip - in summer Krasnaya Polyana looks even better than in the ski season.

There are only seven hours between cold snowy winter and sunny summer. This is how long a direct flight from Moscow to Tenerife, the most famous Canary Island in Russia, lasts. The weather in this resort practically does not change throughout the year, the average temperature is plus 23 degrees Celsius. The Lenta.ru correspondent visited the island of eternal summer and recommends travelers to follow his example.

Most international flights arrive on the island at Tenerife South Airport, located in the municipalities of Granadilla de Abona and San Miguel. This applies to both scheduled and charter carriers. Los Rodeos in the north serves mainly flights between the Canary Islands and within Spain.

Arriving in Tenerife on your own, you should keep in mind that despite the relatively small size of the island (you can drive through it in three hours), rely on public transport or excursions are not worth it. In the first case, spend a lot of time on moving, in the second - a lot of money. The best option- rent a car, since there are well-known international companies and the car will be offered to you right at the airport.

As you know, Tenerife is mountains and volcanoes: get ready for the ascents and descents along numerous serpentines. It’s better not to save on a car and choose something faster. Prices allow: by European standards, rent is very budgetary - from 1.8 thousand rubles per day.

southern character

Most travelers immediately go to the south of Tenerife, where the most famous resorts are located. It is believed that the weather in the south is somewhat better than in the north. It's always warm and sunny there: to count cloudy days in a year, the fingers of one hand are enough. In the north, humidity is higher, precipitation is not uncommon, and impenetrable fog often covers the entire district. However, in an hour it can be replaced by a bright sun - the weather is unpredictable in a good way.

In the south of the island, tourists usually stop in the municipality of Arona or Guia de Isora. In Arona, there are dozens of good restaurants, almost all night life islands. Until recently, a Russian karaoke club even worked here.

Be sure to go to the theater "Piramide de Arona" for flamenco "Anthology" by Carmen Mota - the famous Spanish choreographer. For a couple of hours of theatrical performance, you will take a journey into the history of flamenco, get acquainted with the various styles of this expressive dance. Shows are given every evening except Monday. Ticket price - about 50 euros.

Take a walk in the central park of Arona - get to know the local endemics.

In nearby Guia de Isora, the TF-1 highway ends, the only one on the island. Here is one of the most luxurious hotels in Tenerife - Gran Melia Palacio de Isora. Prices for a hotel of this level are quite budgetary - from 11 thousand per night for a double room.

The hotel has several good restaurants, a 260-meter swimming pool (the largest in the Canaries. In addition, guests can relax on the beach on the Atlantic coast. By the way, those who are in the Canaries for the first time are surprised that many of the beaches here are black. Instead of the usual white or golden sand - volcanic dust Not everyone likes it, but volcanic rock has one undoubted plus - winds, which are not uncommon in the archipelago, are unable to raise it.

Near Guia de Isora are two fishing villages - Playa San Juan and Alcala. Here you can get acquainted with the traditional life of the local population, which, before the transformation of the Canary Islands into a popular tourist destination, was mainly engaged in agriculture and fishing.

beach paradise

For most Russian (and not only) tourists, the Canary Islands are primarily associated with a beach holiday, and for good reason. Tenerife has 14 Blue Flag beaches. For comparison, there is only one such beach in Russia. "Blue Flag" is crystal pure water, developed infrastructure, accessibility for the disabled and much more.

The most famous beaches in the southern part of the island are Las Americas, Los Cristianos, Costa Adeje, Los Gigantes, Puerto Santiago, Costa del Silencio, El Medano. In the north, attention should be paid to El Socorro, Jardin and San Telmo.

dormant volcano

And yet the main attraction of the island is the dormant volcano Teide. It last erupted over a century ago, in 1909. In 1706, fire-breathing lava, in which, according to the beliefs of the Guanches (the indigenous population of the Canaries), the evil demon Guayota lives, completely destroyed the city and port of Garachico, as well as several small villages.

Today, a volcano of the same name is formed around the volcano. national park, listed world heritage UNESCO. Landscapes are quite Martian. Hollywood loves to film science fiction here. The road to the volcano is a serious test for the vestibular apparatus. But it's worth it. From the top of Teide (3.7 thousand meters above sea level), a stunning view of the entire nature protection zone opens up. Even on the warmest days, the air here does not warm up above 10 degrees Celsius.

You can also go up here by cable car. Ticket - 13.5 euros. For an additional fee at national park you can visit the observatory and admire the stars. Want to linger? Accommodation is offered in the Altavista mountain hut. They are allowed to enter the crater without any additional permits.

colonial style

In the Canary Islands, unlike mainland Spain, you will not see ancient churches and monuments of medieval architecture. European civilization came here relatively late, having built several cities in a peculiar colonial style.

For example, the city of La Oratava. The entire center is a monument of architecture, and the church of Iglesia de la Concepción is considered the best example of the Canarian baroque of the 18th century. Pay attention to the house with balconies (La Casa de los Balcones) - this facade gives a clear idea of ​​​​how architecture has developed in the Canary Islands over the centuries.

Growing out of a small fishing village, Puerto de la Cruz is the ideal place for lovers beach holiday. Long coastline, sea water pools Playa Jardin, Punta Brava and Lago Martianes, designed by renowned architect Cesar Manrique.

The archaeological museum will tell you about ancient history Canaries and the culture of the Guanches. Here is the oldest Anglican cemetery on the islands - the first burials date back to 1667. Not far from the city - a huge zoo "Loro Park".

If you plan to stay in the city for more than a day, we recommend the Botanico Hotel with beautiful interiors, good restaurants and a spa. During the evening promenade, have a glass of beer or cava in the small bar El Camino (Camino Cabras, 8). Expressive and very friendly bartenders greet each visitor as an old acquaintance.

Of course, mandatory tourist program includes the island's capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and neighboring San Cristobal de la Laguna, which can be reached by tram. Capital attractions - the town hall and the lighthouse La Farola del Mar, one of the symbols of the island. And the Auditorio de Tenerife is a masterpiece of modern architecture.

In general, La Laguna belongs to the Renaissance. This can be seen from the layout of the city: the streets intersect exclusively at right angles. Here is the largest university on the islands, included in the top 500 in the world. In addition, in La Laguna you will find the Museum of the History of Tenerife and just a wonderful walk through the historical center.

Not without reason the mood and temperature rises. It's all about the birthplace of the singer - the island of Barbados. The temperature here almost does not change all year round (even boring!): air - 24-27 degrees, water - 25-28 degrees. It is believed that the local climate is the key to longevity. After all, it was in Barbados that the second longest-lived man on Earth lived - James Sisnett, who at one time managed to celebrate his 113th birthday.

You can imagine how monotonous and economical the wardrobe of the inhabitants of the Colombian coast looks: shorts-t-shirts-shorts-t-shirts-shorts-t-shirts. But how to live differently if outside the window is always (!) 35 degrees and palm trees. It is amazing that it is worth driving a few hours to the Colombian capital of Bogota by car, and you will find yourself in one of the rainiest and grayest cities on the planet. Locals give each other for all holidays - a new umbrella.

Most fast way keep warm in bad weather - see a selection of photos of the island of Tahiti. It gets warmer instantly. Finding 10 differences between frames taken in different months is almost impossible.

The weather in Russia, as a rule, rarely pleases sunny days, and not everyone has access to the sea. If you are completely tired of dullness and rains, but do not know where to go on vacation without a visa and long paperwork, read this selection!
