The time to bring in the new year is near. Every city will offer a New Years Eve event but we complied the best ten best New Years destinations this year;
1. Las Vagas
The Strip fills with revelers. Fireworks light up the sky. The casinos are body-to-body, the showrooms filled with A-list entertainers and Vegas is more gloriously alive than you’ve ever seen it. New Year’s Eve in Vegas is a world-class celebration. Below you can book your room and get more information on New Year’s Eve in Vegas. More information about Las Vegas’ 2011-2012 New Year’s Eve celebration will be added as it becomes available.
2. Savannnah GA
The South may be known for its genteel hospitality, but when the time is right, Southerners love to kick up their heels. In Savannah, that time is December 31, when locals gather for City Market’s annual outdoor street party. Kids’ activities are aplenty, and the live music that starts at nine is followed by a fireworks display shot off the pier on neighboring Tybee Island. While there’s nothing wrong with being a landlubber, we suggest booking a cruise on a traditional stern wheel riverboat for dinner, Champagne toasts and the best fireworks views. Then on January 1, spend the noon hour watching participants with titles from Shrimp to Moby Dick (depending on how many years they’ve taken part) brave chilly river waters during the Polar Plunge.
Ring in the New Year at City Market! It’s an outdoor street party and you are invited to join in the fun. Live music starts at 9 p.m. and lasts until 1 a.m. Free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations are required. Be sure to make your dinner reservations at one of our outstanding restaurants.
Everyone needs to experience Time’s Square during New Years at least once in their life! This is the place to be if you are in the city during the holidays. You will be with millions of other people waiting to ring in the New Year. There will be guest artist performances and celebrities hosting the party of the year. The energy alone during the count down is unlike anything in the world. If you have grown up watching the ball drop, then this is one thing you need to see in real life at least once! New York itself is legendary, but its ball drop on New Year’s eve is even more iconic.
Long gone are the days when the most exciting thing to do at Niagara Falls was keep your eyes peeled for a daredevil plummeting over the cascades in a barrel. The falls are now the site of one of the biggest outdoor New Year’s Eve parties in Canada. More than 30,000 people gather in Queen Victoria Park to eat, drink and enjoy the free New Year’s Eve Concert Extravaganza, organized by the Niagara Parks Commission. Festivities take place against the stunning backdrop of Niagara Falls, which is illuminated as part of the 29th annual Winter Festival of Lights, a November 5 to January 31 display of more than three million lights on a six-kilometer route. Brightening the night even further, the 9 p.m. and midnight Fireworks over the falls are so much a part of the country’s New Year’s Eve tradition that they are televised nationwide.
New Year’s Eve in Prague is party night. The river boats, restaurants, bars and clubs are full of people, and the atmosphere gently builds. As midnight approaches, revelers gather at the Old Town Square and by the river to watch the fireworks over the city.
If you’re lucky enough to be in Paris to usher in the New Year, the city of light offers plenty of ways to say Bonne Annee!. In my book, Paris is one of the most colorful and exciting places to celebrate New Year’s Eve, whether your preferred style is clubbing the night away, top-notch dining, or a simple glass of champagne shared with a small group of friends or loved ones.
Iceland in the winter means you’ll have a mind-boggling choice of adventures and activities. Why not come for Christmas? The whole country is beautifully decorated and every evening, the night sky comes alive with a dazzling light show, courtesy of the Northern Lights. New Year’s Eve in Reykjavik is particularly exciting. As well as huge bonfires and spectacular fireworks around the city, almost every family has its own colourful firework display to welcome in the New Year. Not only that, you’ll discover the legendary city night-life shifts up an extra gear in celebration.
New Year parties in Spain are often called "cotillones de nochevieja." The Spanish word "cotillón" is the collective name for party paraphernalia like confetti, party horns, party hats and so on. You often see the word "cotillón" on restaurants and club party posters. This means that New Year’s party accessories are included in the party price. One or two drinks, called "copas," are also usually included in the entrance price. NYE party prices vary from 15 euros to 40 for a club admission with cotillón and copas. For dinner and party the prices range from 75 to 150 euros depending on the locations. It is always a good idea to book in advance.
Kitzbühel embodies romantic charm, sporting adventure and an inspirational zest for life, like no other holiday region in the Alps: The unique, magical ambience of the town – all year round, its breathtaking geographical location and landscape, and the wide variety of outdoor sports on offer ensure Kitzbühel remains the number one holiday destination, year after year.
