Let the Countdown Begin in Our Top Picks!
The New Year’s Eve, that night of the year when the hopeless can be a romantic, and a resolution can become a revelation. While most of you may think that it’s the worst night of all to go out, we at Stylisphere believe that on New Year’s Eve you should go big, or go home. So we have made a selection of top places where you can go and have not the ordinary New Year’s Eve experience.
1. Paris – For the most romantic midnight kiss
As the saying goes, “Paris is always a good idea”, it is a city to be considered not only for the Valentine’s day, but also for the New Year’s Eve. The joy and elegance become one as you have a romantic dinner while cruising on the Siene, explore the Parisian nightlife or witness the magnificent firework display at the Champs-Elysées. And with Eiffel Tower being your sparkly cupid, love gets a standing ovation at midnight. Can you imagine starting the year in a more romantic way?
2. Sydney – For the most spectacular fireworks display at Sydney Harbour
One of the largest and most famous fireworks display, it is a show that takes 15 months of planning. The show includes two fireworks displays, one at 9pm called “the family fireworks” and the other impressive one at midnight that goes for longer. Each year there is a different theme, including a different symbol lighting up the middle of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. You can book a luxury catamaran boat for the full experience and for the best view of the most famous fireworks display.
3. Val d’Isere – The perfect ski destination
Val d’Isere takes New Year’s Eve very seriously by putting on a good show to celebrate! There are giant snow sculptures, light shows, street performances, vin chaud, street parades and music and a fire show, followed by the fireworks display at midnight. Home to some of the legendary après ski bars, you can celebrate all night long. If you are one not for the crowd, you can enjoy a hot cocoa in a cozy chalet. With all that it offers, Val d’Isere emerges as the ultimate ski destination to usher in the New Year with a perfect blend of adrenaline and festive cheer.
4. Rio de Janeiro – To celebrate in the iconic Copacabana Beach
Samba your way through the new year in Rio de Janeiro. New Year’s Eve holds special significance for Brazilians, and celebrating it in Rio de Janeiro adds an extra layer of vibrancy. In the Brazilian culture, the transition to the new year is more than just a date change—it’s a spirited reflection of hope, joy, and renewal. Rio de Janeiro, with its iconic Copacabana Beach festivities, offers a unique blend of tradition and excitement. The city’s lively atmosphere, spectacular fireworks, and the contagious energy of the locals make it an ideal destination to embrace the optimism of the coming year.
5. Lisbon – For the all-night parties
Lisbon doesn’t just welcome the new year; it throws a big party that’s part cultural fiesta, part street dance-off. You can munch on pastries, groove to fado beats, and join a street carnival all in one night! So, why Lisbon? Because where else can you start the year with a combo of history, fireworks, and a dance party that’s basically a workout in disguise?
