Places to visit in December! December has arrived. we’re starting to get cold. Longing on one side, disgrace on the other. On the one hand, while walking in front of the burning fireplace, imagining the tea we will drink and the smell of chestnuts cooking on the stove behind us; On the other hand, we are afraid as we imagine the disgrace of the bloody Istanbul traffic, its crowded and chaotic structure, and the nightmare that collapsed after it snowed.. But isn’t every season beautiful in its own way? Didn’t every beauty have a flaw?
Winter is a difficult season.. let’s admit. But when I think of the winter season we understand, that many countries of the world are just starting summer months, that the hot weather is preparing itself for new beauties especially in the Ecuador and Southern hemisphere parts, especially when I think of us who can’t get enough of summer after taking a 1-2 weeks off and going far away. As I dream of the days I was swimming in the middle of the ocean, with a t-shirt and shorts underneath, on the plane I boarded while it was snowing, which is my most important and most beautiful longing, something again flashes before my eyes.

By the way, we need an Indian visa to go to this country.. Although, in this article, I only praised Jaipur, but if you are going to visit India, I would say spare at least 1 week.
How I find cheap flights abroad, which flight search engines I use. I explained one by one in my article “Search Engines”. I definitely recommend you to read it.
By the way, 30-40 dollars a day for India is too much.. never get this out of your head. Because most things are very affordable in India and half of the people try to live for 1-2 dollars a day !

2-Malaysia-Langkawi
Malaysia is one of the most interesting countries I’ve been to. maybe he wasn’t someone, but both the atmosphere and the culture of the country were very different from ours.. It’s also a very far country for us.
Even a direct flight takes about 9-10 hours.. In December, summer slowly begins to show its face. In fact, the tourism season, which is one of the busiest periods, is waiting at the door with excitement.
Kuala Lumpur, one of the most important financial and touristic cities of the country, will most likely be your first stop.. But before hanging out in Kuala Lumpur, 2 days is enough, I say go straight to Langkawi, one of the most famous islands.. The island, dominated by a 10 million-year-old rainforest, is surrounded by coral reefs.. You think I’m dead and you’re in heaven.
So, by the way stay for at least 3-4 days and know that 30-40 dollars a day will be enough. Rent a motorbike and travel freely through rice fields, cute little villages, beaches,

You can take a look at the legendary hotels on the island of Langkawi.
3-France-Paris
Let’s talk about Europe a little bit. As you know, while the Christmas period will be celebrated at the end of December, one of the most important holidays in Europe is about to take place.. While parks, squares and streets are being decorated for the New Year, many of us want to see this beautiful and special period.. Therefore, Paris can be a good route to relax for 2-3 days and to witness this special period.
Especially the Chams Elyses (Champs Elysées) streets will be decorated with colorful lights, while the Eiffel tower and the Louvre museum will be indispensable.. But in addition to this, Sacre Coeur Basilica, Notre Dame Cathedral, Orsay Museum, Notre Dame Cathedral are also must-see places.
There is nothing like walking along the Siena River, drinking a hot coffee in tiny cafes on the corners of Paris streets and watching the people passing by.
You should stay at least 3 days while you’re here.. France requires a Schengen visa from us and it is an expensive country. It can be even more expensive especially during these periods. But under normal circumstances, 50 Euros is enough.. Flight tickets usually vary between 400-600 TL.. You can take a look at the romantic hotels in Paris.
4-Belgium-Brussels
Continue to Europe. The Grand Palace, which is the most important square of Belgium, one of the smallest countries in the world, and the city’s most important square, begins to be decorated as the new year approaches, and December is the perfect place to witness this moment.
Brussels surrounding the square. strong> Town Hall is worth seeing. Markets begin to set up all over Brussels.
While you’re in town, Atomium , Mini Europe, the Manneken Pis statue and the Belgian Royal Palace are important places to see. And, my friend, there are shops in this city where you can taste great chocolate.. If you love chocolate, never forget that you are in one of the right addresses.
After all, the city of Brugge, which is just 1 hour by train from this city, is a romantic and peaceful city that you must see. is the city. While you’re here, I’d say don’t do anything and see Brugge.
Belgium unfortunately requires a Schengen visa from us and it is an expensive country.. In general, a figure like 50 Euros may be sufficient.. Flight tickets vary between 300-500 TL on average.. You can take a look at the budget hotels in Brussels.
5-Finland-Helsinki
The weather is ice cold for December. But you know what’s beautiful? It will be even more beautiful in the winter. It is adorned with a white blanket after it snows.. Squares become lively by setting up markets prepared for the new year.
While exploring the city, first drink a mulled wine.. You get lost in the streets of Suomenlinna Island, in its colorful streets as if you were an actor.
But there is a special reason to come to this country that you can experience one of the moments in your life that you rarely witness.. In this period, there is a place called Lapland in Finland, where there is 18 hours of night and 6 hours of day.. It is one of the rare places where you can see the famous northern lights.
Here is one of the very special places you should go just for this, feed on reindeer meat and witness the moment when the haskis take you through the forests.
But believe me, it’s quite an expensive event. to tell me. It is not something to be done for 40-50 Euros.. you know. Finally, Finland asks us for a Schengen visa.. Flight tickets also vary between 350-500 TL.. You can take a look at the hotels in Finland.
6-Hongkong and Macau
My mind is south again. I’m a sea-sand-sun man. Here is Hongkong, one of the distant but beautiful routes to go in December.
In this period, the weather is just right to go to Hongkong.. torrential rains cease. The weather is perfect for sightseeing.
Hongkong has great places to visit.. It is necessary to allocate at least 2-3 days. If you include Macau on top of that, this figure can increase to 4-5.
The must-see places in Hongkong: The Peak, Victoria Harbour, Avenue of Stars, Lantau Island come first.
Hongkong is the perfect choice for street food.. Since most people’s houses are small, people love to eat on the street.. That’s why there are incredibly rich restaurants.. Especially about noodles and fish, I am fascinated here.
Speaking of Macau: Macau is Las Vegas of this place.. It can be reached in 1 hour from Hongkong.. Since both Hongkong and Macau are visa-free, it is quite comfortable and simple to visit.
But both are quite expensive countries.. 50-60 dollars a day is enough. Flight tickets are usually around $500 round trip. You can take a look at Hong Kong hotels.
7-Egypt-Cairo
Although the country is notorious for the Egyptian Pyramids salsa, in my opinion, cities like Luxor, Hurghada and Sharm El Sheik are more enjoyable in my opinion.
Though I admire the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, where only mummies are found; then I saw the Egyptian Pyramids in the Giza region. Afterwards, I went to the city of Ain Sokhna to enjoy the beaches of the Red Sea.. This is a place for complete relaxation.
But especially those who have time should definitely go as far as Luxor by taking a tour of the Nile River.. Especially if you are a history lover, I recommend you to make this trip.
Egypt is actually not a very expensive country, but it still costs around 50 dollars a day and Egypt, T.C.. asks citizens for visas. Flight ticket prices are around 300-400 dollars.. Click for great hotels in Egypt.
8-Thailand-Phuket
Blue sea, sand, sun , temples, street food, islands, monkeys, elephants, tigers… I can talk about Thailand for hours and talk about dreams. It is so beautiful! Here is the best season to go to this magnificent Southeast Asian country.
Fly to Bangkok first.. From there, you can fly to the famous island of Phuket.. Inexpensive. You can find a flight ticket for $50 round-trip.. In Phuket, Phi Phi island, Patong Beach and James Bond island should be at the top of the places you must see.
Also, if you have time, I would definitely go to Koh Phangan island.. Thailand does not require a visa from us. 40-50 dollars a day is enough. But, unfortunately, Thailand has been a touristic route lately.
It has started to lose its former calmness and cheapness.. But still, I would definitely say to see this natural wonder country once in your life.. While you’re here, I suggest you stay as long as you can.. Flight tickets are usually between 1,600-2,000 TL.. Click here for the legendary hotels of Thailand.

When “Sea. Where would you suggest we go? ”, one of the top 5 suggestions I gave is the Philippines.. It is so beautiful, so peaceful, so untouched… I want everyone to go, see, experience, taste! I don’t know if I should praise the color of your sea, or tell you about the places you will rent a motorbike from village to village, coast to coast.
Before the world discovers these untouched islands, I say what to do and go as soon as possible.. Even if you go, let Manila–Coron–El Nido island be your route. I say stay as long as you can in El Nido and Puerto Princesa areas on the island of Palawan.
If you love diving in Coron, dive into the most beautiful shipwrecks in the world.. Visit individual islands in El Nido. If you are in Puerto Princesa, be sure to see the open prison and the Subterranean Underground river.

Bonus: USA-New York
December, Central Park’ I think it’s the most beautiful month to see New Yorkers skating on the frozen lake.. Beautiful New York. Especially during Christmas, the city is ready to celebrate with all its might.
It is one of the places you must see once in your life.. But it is not essential. Let me state this from the beginning, which I have already said in many of my articles.
But if you ask where to celebrate New Year’s, I think my answer would be New York.. That’s why I wanted to write. However, keep in mind that an already expensive city will be even more expensive during the New Year’s Eve.
If you come to this city, which is the heart of the USA and even the world; Wander around Central Park for hours, visit museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History, watch at least one play on Broadway, and have a nice dinner in Soho-Little Italy or China Town in the evenings.
Before you go, take a look at my New York articles.. Click to see. As a budget; 60-80 dollars a day will be enough. But it all depends on what you’re going to do. Let me tell you from the start. Flight ticket to New York is around 1,200-2,500 TL (It changes a lot). USA asks us for visa. Click for legendary hotels in New York.
You have to go either. Gotta go far. In fact, you should go and not come back for a long time.. Gotta get out of here. From the city that oppresses, bores, hates, and questions life… Do you know what the worst part is? Knowing that the world is so beautiful, dreaming morning and evening and not being able to go… I think this contradiction is the hardest thing.. I always say to you; travel doesn’t come to you. you will go to him. So, read my articles before you go on the whole trip I’m telling you about.
