Entry allowed: which countries can I travel to without a visa?

Very soon the vacation season will begin, which means that the question of where to go will arise. But many people are afraid of the difficulties that will arise in connection with the registration of passports, obtaining visas, and in general with traveling abroad. We have collected a list of countries for which these documents will not be needed, and described in detail what you can see there.

Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan is located in the eastern part of Transcaucasia on the coast of the Caspian Sea. This state belongs to the Middle East, West Asia and partly to Eastern Europe.

One of the first places that tourists should visit is the Maiden Tower in Baku. This building is considered a landmark of the city and is located near the coastal part of the so-called “Old City”. Its purpose is still one of the main secrets for archaeologists. Legend has it that the tower was built as a temple of fire.

No less beautiful attraction is the Bibi-Eybat Mosque. It is a significant monument of Islamic architecture on the shore of Baku Bay. It was built in the XIII century. The architects took the principles of the classical Shirvan school as a basis, so the temple consists of two massive minarets and three domes. The decoration is dominated by emerald and white colors, moderately diluted with noble gilded accents. As on the ceiling, traditional calligraphic inscriptions can be seen on the walls.

Antigua and Barbuda

For lovers of islands you can recommend the state in the West Indies, located on three islands: Antigua, Barbuda and Redonda. The largest island is Antigua, it is also the main tourist center with 365 beaches. Its infrastructure keeps up with modernity: there you will find hotels, nightclubs, entertainment complexes, casinos.

The second largest island is Barbuda, completely coral, with magnificent nature, preserved in pristine condition. Architecture lovers will not get bored there. They should stroll through the town of St. John’s, where there are still old defensive buildings and colonial mansions in Fort James. It was built in the XVIII century for defense against the French invaders. Today, the only reminders of the past are the surviving cannons, but the view of the harbor surpasses all expectations.

Those who came with their families should visit the very cute and touching donkey orphanage. Nightlife enthusiasts will enjoy the raucous Sunday night parties in Shirley Heights.

In Antigua and Barbuda, everyone can find an outlet and have a great time!

Georgia

This place is characterized by hospitality and toasts, the rugged beauty of mountain temples and the authentic atmosphere of old Tbilisi’s taverns, lezginka and the simple-minded art of Pirosmani. It is these features that attract many travelers.

Getting to know Georgia will leave a trace of incredible beauty in everyone’s heart, which will beckon you to return time after time. All that remains is to plan your trip.

Fans of mountain skiing and snowboarding can be recommended the magnificent slopes – resorts of Upper Svaneti and Goderdzi. The climate allows spending vacations in the mountains from November to May.

Healing mineral and thermal waters, therapeutic muds, fresh mountain, forest and sea air – maybe this is what you are missing now? The famous resort of Borjomi, restoring the former glory of Shovi, Akhala, Tskaltubo, Sairme and other balneological and high-mountain health resorts of the country will help to treat various diseases and restore immunity of a traveler.

But you should take into account an important point: if you have marks in your passport about visiting Abkhazia or South Ossetia, you will be denied entry to Georgia. And if you try to enter through these countries, it may be considered as an illegal border crossing.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica, as its name suggests (translated from Spanish as “Rich Coast”), is rich in everything at once: two oceans – Pacific and Atlantic, exotic black-sand beaches, nature reserves, volcanoes and mountains. And the capital San Jose is located in the very center of the country.

If for centuries all roads lead to Rome, then in Costa Rica lead all the highways, trails and unpaved roads, on which you can get directly into the kingdom of wildlife, clear waterfalls, misty lakes that lurk at the bottom of extinct volcanic craters.

Not far from San Jose is Alajuela, the second largest city in the country. Butterfly farms, the Belt Volcano and the museum, which is located right in the building of the former prison, are waiting for visitors.

Well, the north-western part of Costa Rica, perhaps, will be the most interesting for tourists. Here are located whale bay Baia Ballena, reserve “Kuru”, park “Corcovado” and Caño Island, botanical garden Wilson, wildlife reserve “Cabo Blanco”, reserve “Marenco”, national park “Santa Rosa”, “white city” Liberia, national park “Guanacaste” with volcanoes Orosi and Cacao. In addition, here you can also find hot springs Tabacon, waterfalls Catarata de la Fortuna, the national park “Manuel Antonio”, the famous “island of turtles” Tortuga and, of course, the formidable volcano Arenal with the lake of the same name. It was dormant for 300 years, but at the end of the 60s of the last century woke up so that it did not seem a little. All this awaits you in Costa Rica.

Moldavia

Most of all in Moldova tourists are attracted, perhaps, picturesque countryside, a large number of wineries, a variety of delicious and generous cuisine and in addition very attractive prices for recreation.

Although Moldova is not the most popular tourist destination in Eastern Europe, but the Republic of Moldova itself is famous for its wineries and an abundance of ancient Orthodox monuments.

Among the pleasant bonuses – almost complete absence of border formalities, only two hours in flight and Soviet-style native local population. In addition, the country has an extremely rich colorful history with the spirit of gypsy barons and devoted Kabbalists hovering in the air.

The main attractions of Moldavia are ancient monasteries and vast vineyards. And the latter serve not only for wine production, but also attract literally crowds of tourists within the framework of extremely popular in the country wine tours. The standard tour, besides visiting vineyards and production and tasting of drinks, includes visits to rock monasteries, ancient and medieval fortresses, ethnographic villages, nature reserves and national parks, as well as staying in nature – at waterfalls and among the picturesque valleys of Moldavia.

The most famous archeological park is “Old Orhei”, located 60 km from Chisinau. Here you can see the caves cut out in the rocks by prehistoric tribes, the fortress of Geto-Dacs, ancestors of Moldavians, and the medieval rock monastery of the Assumption of the Mother of God.

United Arab Emirates

Summer, which lasts 365 days a year, is already reason enough to fly to the UAE. Luxury hotels for a good vacation and great shopping at equally good prices – for many, this is all they need to be happy.

The approach to tourism in the UAE is simple: we will surprise you with everything that the country has, and what we don’t have, we will build it and surprise you even more. As practice shows, this plan of action of the Emirates has a very favorable effect on the tourist flow. Capricious young ladies, accustomed to snow-white sand and clear blue waters, come in delight from local beaches. Extreme lovers explore underwater and sandy expanses, and gourmets and other hedonistic contingent enjoy delicious dishes of national cuisine and aristocratically attentive service.

Few historical monuments of the capital Abu Dhabi neighbor with grandiose modern skyscrapers and green parks. Dubai is more interesting in this respect – it is here that the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa skyscraper, is located. On one of its upper floors there is an observation deck, from where you can enjoy gorgeous views of the city. Its glowing igloo is recognized all over the world, and the “dromadrome” for camel racing is neatly squeezed between the high-rises of modern business centers. Not far from the skyscraper is the famous musical fountain – a truly enchanting composition of light, sound and water. It is installed in an artificial lake with an area of 12 hectares.

In addition to modern architecture, the UAE has museums, including the curious Archaeological Museum in Sharjah. There, the history of the place and the region as a whole is told, starting from its very beginnings. As for leisure activities for children, every emirate has amusement parks, and the world’s largest aquarium in Dubai, which is as tall as a three-story house, and the zoo are particularly popular.
