With the festivities approaching once more now is the time to plan ahead for the New Year celebrations. In this blog article we’ve taken look at some of the best cities in the world that you may want to visit for New Year, and some of them may be closer than you think.
New York, America
With a party list such as this it seems only right that we kick off with the Big Apple. Spending New Year’s Eve can see you part of the biggest party in the world right in Times Square. Here you’ll experience the famous ball atop One Times Square (a tradition that actually dates all the way back to 1906). As part of this huge party you’ll be one of a million revellers all welcoming in the New Year in in style.
Las Vegas, America
No party city list would be complete without the world’s party capital: Las Vegas. This region is known for providing a breath taking experience even on an average Monday, so your can only imagine the sights, parties and entrainment on the biggest night of the year.
If you opt to visit Vegas on New Year’s Eve this year you can look forward to celebrating from the rooftops watching staggering firework displays; eating dinner in the Top of the World restaurant and bar hopping from star studded party to star studded party throughout the night.
London, England
London is one of the liveliest cities in the world right around the clock and throughout the year so it’s then little wonder that they put on a rather impressive show for New Year’s Eve. Particular sights to be seen on the night include a three hour long firework display, a midnight countdown to the chimes of the world famous Big Ben, the Thames Dinner Cruise, the view from the London eye and the sing along that can be heard along the Westminster embankment.
Reykjavik, Iceland
As far as New Year’s Eve destinations go we’re hedging our bets that you may not have thought of Iceland as a contender. However, Reykjavik is an area of city wide celebrations and some of the most beautiful fireworks in the world (all be it taking place in a far colder region). For the very best views (and plenty of warmth) be sure to dine in style at the Perlman.
If you manage to make it all the way through to 5am then you can join the locals who queue for their hang over curing hot dogs, or head on straight to the hot springs for a reinvigorating soak.
Valparaíso, Chile
Valparaíso, Chile puts on the biggest New Year’s Eve party in Latin America. This event is home to one of the biggest firework displays in the world (which spans a pretty amazing 20 miles!). This is then followed by a dance party of thousands that ends only when the sun rises. This party is a little on the exclusive side however and tickets will set you back a cool $1,000 each.
