Top 10 Cities to Celebrates New Year’s Eve
-
Sydney, Australia
As the first major city to receive the New Year, Sydney likes to show us how it is done. After an air show, a ceremony celebrating Aboriginal culture, and an early display of fireworks for children (or impatient adults), illuminated boats dance on the water for the “Harbor of Light Parade”. But it’s midnight when Sydney really dazzles, as the fireworks are launched from the Harbor Bridge, filling the sky with color over the Sydney Opera House.

2. Edinburgh, Scotland
The Scottish takes New Year’s Eve very seriously, and they even have their own name: Hogmanay. In Edinburgh this means much more than a party of one night, it is a festival of music, dance, and food that lasts three days! You can participate in a procession of torches on December 30, celebrate New Year’s Eve at one of the largest street parties in the world, and join the brave (or fools) who celebrate New Year’s Night by jumping into the frozen waters of the Firth of Forth in “Loony Dook”.

3. Times Square, Manhattan, New York
New York City has an environment on New Year Night that very few cities have. It is the meeting point of more than one million people who welcome the New Year together. Times Square is the place where you should be to make the countdown, although also from a skyscraper or near the Statue of Liberty you can admire the fireworks in all their glory.

4. London, United Kingdom
London is the main rival of Sydney for the crown of “The best fireworks in the end of the year”, and without a doubt, it has a great backdrop to work. Here you will see the latest and most spectacular avant-garde pyrotechnics, and both Big Ben and the Houses of Westminster look more spectacular than ever when bathed in the light of 12,000 fireworks!
Tickets for official sightseeing spots cost only £ 10, but if they are sold out or if you want to avoid crowds, the city is full of places where you can watch the show for free.

5. Niagara Falls, Canada
Even the beautiful skyline of the city cannot compete with one of the most amazing spectacles of nature. Every year, the City of Niagara receives 30,000 people at a free party at Queen Victoria Park, on the edge of the majestic waterfalls. After the performances of some of the best musical talents in Canada, a magnificent light show and a fireworks display turn the white expanse of whipped water into all the colors of the rainbow.

6. Bangkok, Thailand
Following the example of Times Square in New York, the Central World Mall in Bangkok also has a large 20-meter ball that falls at midnight, although with a different atmosphere and with Thai pop stars giving shows. It is customary to make offerings of food, candles, and flowers to the monks in the nine sacred Buddhist temples, such as Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Pho.

9. Las Vegas, United States
Obviously “the city of sin” cannot be left behind. The number of end-of-year shows in hotels, casinos, and restaurants cannot be counted.
You could receive the year by counting down in the center of the city. Although you may find it more attractive to start the year having some excesses in a famous bar. Either way, make sure you are very high if you want to enjoy better the fireworks that are launched from seven different points of the city.

10. Dubai, United Arab Emirates
As one of the most luxurious tourist destinations in the world, it is no wonder that Dubai does everything it can to surprise on New Year’s Eve, bringing together a sea of spectators who gather in front of the city’s imposing Burj Khalifa skyscraper to see the pyrotechnics that emerges as a waterfall from some of the 160 floors of the building. Then there is a four-hour show of lasers, fire, water, and music at the Dubai Fountain.
