The holiday comes to us. Where and how to celebrate the New Year

They say that the way you meet New Year’s Eve is the way you spend it. That’s why we suggest celebrating the festive night in a fun, interesting and active way. To avoid sitting at the table or in front of the TV for the next 12 months, go to the skating rink, to Red Square or… to the ball. We recommend to remember about January 1! Instead of lying in bed, you can run a half-marathon or a symbolic 2020 meters, and start fulfilling your promises to yourself from the very first day of the year.
