Depends on what you are looking to do.
I'm reading the book '1812: Napoleon's Fatal March on Moscow' so I'm feeling Eastern European inclined. I'd be thinking more about the history/culture element rather than the 'drinking the shit out of it' type holiday.
amsterdam - get stoned.
Hell then, go to Moscow.
Siberia, and stay there.
Budapest or Vienna. My great grandparents met in Vienna. From what I hear they are both historically rich and beautiful cities. Moscow on the other hand is kind of a crap hole.
Have you been to Moscow? I've heard St. Petersburg is far nicer.Superior Mind wrote:

I voted Vienna as I think I'm going there in February/March...
Amsterdam, you can meet me for a beer. What more could you want out of a random European city?
(assuming when you say in the new year you mean some time before 6th Jan?)
EDIT: And St.P is far nicer than Moscow. But Moscow has more cool Russian stuff.

Amsterdam. I only say this however, because thats where I'll be going for a long weekend over the new year.
On the other hand for me, it will be a 'drinking the shit out of it' type holiday.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
Geh nach Wien!
Ahem...Go to Vienna
Ahem...Go to Vienna
Vienna. Try to go to Innsbruck too, its an amazing city.
I would do Moscow for a few days, then take a ferry or train to St. Petersburg.
For the experience: St. Petersburg without a doubt imho, it's Praha times ten Cam
It`s the city of the former Russian Imperial family and the cultural highlight of Russia. Formerly known as both Petrograd and Leningrad.

Go for a hiking trip off a short pier.
