Veteran visitors praise the sight of fireworks reflected in the water in the canals while celebrating the holiday in one of the city’s cozy cafes. Many locals leave the city but there are still many places to party. The fireworks over the river IJ is a popular show as is the one in the park near Westerdoksdijk.

There are events in most major squares. Wherever you go, be sure to get there early with your drinks and chairs. Dress warmly as the city’s cold in December. Buy some traditional dutch snacks, oliebollen, for the morning too.

115. Sydney, Australia

Sydney’s New Year’s Eve celebration is world-famous. You can see a big fireworks display at the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge at midnight. Veteran visitors say that the best place to enjoy the show is from the botanical gardens. You can watch for free from Macquaries Point.

Relax in the sun as you await the show. After all, you have to have your spot reserved well ahead of time. Take in the pre-shows and for those with kids, there is an early fireworks show at 9 p.m. There’s also a special light parade of boats in the harbor too.
