Идеи для отпуска дома
Многие не могут позволить себе поехать заграницу. Люди предпочитают отдыхать в своем городе, области или в пределах страны. Давайте подумаем, чем можно заняться, чтобы отпуск запомнился, и вы действительно получили положительные эмоции.
Велотуры стали популярны. Это спорт, где вы сами себе строите маршрут, устанавливаете скорость и выбираете красивые локации и места с впечатляющими видами.
Беговые трейлы проходят в живописных местах. Можно выбрать комфортную дистанцию, любоваться скалами, лесами, водопадами. Для особо смелых есть крутые маршруты, где можно испытать себя и преодолевать трудности и препятствия на пути.
Кэмпинг у красивого озера, реки в лесу. Это действительно детокс от интернета. Уникальная природа, свежий воздух наполнят вас как будто вы ездили в отпуск.
Посещение местных достопримечательностей может быть не только просветительским и интересным. Пешие экскурсии по городу, церкви, соборы. Вы когда-нибудь были на ночной экскурсии, где рассказывает о странных событиях в доме, страшные мистические истории.
А как насчет местных ресторанов, баров, кофеен? Давайте исследуем местную кухню и попробуем новые уникальные блюда!

What is a bucket list?
Jane. Russia has a unique culture and history. To understand Russia, first, you need to visit Moscow. The city dates back at least 900 years. It is ugly, beautiful, glamorous, cool and confident, with surprising warmth and hospitality. In Moscow you can find many incredible museums and interesting exhibitions. Walking in the center you can see and touch hundreds of years old buildings. Old churches and beautiful streets will let you feel the rich heritage of Russia. Russian cuisine is famous. I recommend you try cabbage schi and solyanka.
Mary. It is known as the “Venice of the North” for its numerous rivers and canals, Russia’s most romantic city is famous for its beautiful drawbridges. The city’s epic White Nights are between late May and early June when night never falls and the streets and parks are alive with all-night open-air concerts.
Peter. I have learned a lot about the history of Russian cities. The Golden Ring is a name for several towns located around Moscow: Suzdal, Rostov, Vladimir are among them. If you want to know more about Russia, see old architecture, churches made of white stone, hear the bell-ring, see old fortifications, be ready to leave Moscow.
The first town of the Golden Ring is Vladimir, located 179 kilometers to the east from Moscow with 378 thousand people living there. It is an old Russian town, it used to be the capital of Russia in the 12th century. You can feel the history in the air, among the perfectly preserved medieval wooden houses and the grand fortress and kremlins built in times where these cities had substantial political and religious power.
Nick. I have visited Lake Baikal which is the largest and oldest lake of the world that consists of 80% freshwater. The lake is a home for many people and animal species. The lake surrounds the rocks of Olkhon Island. Olkhon is the most mysterious place I have ever been to.
Philip. For lovers of wildlife, challenging hiking and natural scenery, Kamchatka is paradise on earth. If your idea is an adventure, Kamchatka should be at the very top of your bucket list. I have ascended an active volcano, coming within meters of wild brown bears. I have explored the most remote and wildlife-rich coasts on earth. Recommend!
