Sydney
Spectacular fireworks along the Sydney harbor, a breathtaking light parade and a crowd of over a million people from around the world joining in the celebrations! Sounds bliss. That’s why you should visit Sydney this New year.
We recommend choosing a vantage point in advance like the Yurulbin Park for a best view of the fireworks.
Wine and dine: Enjoy a sophisticated 6 course meal at the Sydney Cove Oyster Bar. Check out new year holiday deals at great rates from yatra.
Las Vegas
Las Vegas=fun! As more than 3, 00,000 people gather out on the streets, usher in the New Year with dancing, a pint of beer and oodles of fun. Gamble away in the casinos and watch out for their fireworks at the stroke of midnight.
Wine and dine: We recommend the Skyloft at MGM Grand for a panoramic view of the city in all its glory , follow it up with a five course dinner at ‘Top of the World’ in Stratosphere Casino.
Paris
Don’t forget to add this City of Romance in your travel list. There’s something in the Parisian air that will make it completely worth your time this New Year. Watch out for New Year parties in every nook and corner and fireworks along the Eiffel Tower.
Wine and dine: Strong recommendations are a dinner cruise along the river Siene coupled with a stay at Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris with private terraces and a great New Year’s menu.
New York City
Ring in 2016 with some of the best New Year parties in the world, complete with spectacular fireworks, the neon lights, excited crowds and the famed ball-drop. Do you know what it is? A colourful ball descends 141 feet in 60 seconds down a specially designed flagpole, beginning at 11:59 p.m. and resting at midnight to signal the start of the new year. It is a must watch in Times Square, one of the busiest avenues in the world.
Wine and dine: We recommend the STK Rooftop for a fun time along with purchase of a Times Square Official Party Pass for easy access to all top bars.
Rio de Janeiro
Visiting this place any time is great, no doubt, but we recommend you visit it during the New Year when everyone let’s their hair down and has a real ball. The most happening place in Rio is the Copacabana Beach, where you can watch a massive display of fireworks along with some hard partying.
Wine and dine: Visit the Copacabana Palace for a great view of the fireworks and the Cipriani restaurant inside it for a lovely Italian meal.
St. Petersburg, Russia
This is a little offbeat, we know, as the cold is biting. But we recommend this place for those travelers who want a bit of celebration away from the crowd. And anyway, winter is what Russia is all about so if you ignore the cold weather, you will have a great time on New Year’s Eve. Being on the streets with all the people drinking, celebrating and being happy has its very own flair and you definitely should not miss it in St.Petersberg.
Wine and dine: The Four Seasons Lion Palace Hotel is strongly recommended for a memorable New Year’s party.
Tokyo
Why always visit only anticipated destinations for New Year? Japan is one of the first countries to usher in the New Year so it’s only a great opportunity to soak in the culture of Japan. View the traditional fireworks along the Tokyo Bay and party away at one of their numerous restaurants and pubs. The New Year’s ushered in with the ringing of a temple bell 108 times giving a holy feel.
Wine and dine: Some popular hotels with great New Year celebrations and hospitality include the Peninsula Tokyo, the Hotel Seiyo Ginza, The Capitol Hotel Tokyu, and Conrad Tokyo.
Bangkok
How about ringing in the New Year on a dinner cruise? Enjoy this and a lot more at popular party destinations in Bangkok. A lot of travel portals like makemytrip offer fabulous deals to Thailand. Don’t miss it.
Wine and dine: Sirocco offers tasty Mediterranean fare and fantastic views of the festivities happening down below and we recommend you to visit this place.
