The year is fast coming to a close. That means it’s almost time to celebrate New Year’s Eve yet again! So without further adieu, here are the 15 best places in the world to celebrate New Year’s Eve.
1. Amsterdam, The Netherlands
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.

88. Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon is one of the warmest places in Europe and the offseason is a great time to visit. There are fewer tourists and it’s reportedly “more cost-effective” as well. In fact, there are several free events in the main square, Praça do Comércio, and along the Tagus River.
There are live bands and fireworks at midnight. Want to stay out all night? There are many little local events where people decorate their neighborhoods.
Wander the streets of Bairro Alto or Alfama. Parties abound in the bars and restaurants too. Dance into the morning light if you wish!
