I knew of NYC, Dubai & Sydney, but not the other 2.
That being said, only NYC is within reach for me. And even that I keep putting off – mostly due to the cold. Maybe I’ll brave the cold some year, when the kid is a little older.
Ah nice! Makes me long to travel. It’s getting hard for us because we’re finding it tough to get good pet sitters/ boarding for our two pups!
I wish one day I could also welcome the new year in one of the mentioned cities. Great list of cities for welcoming the new year!
This is a fantastic list Shilpa. I have always wanted to celebrate New Year’s Eve in New York. I don’t know why, maybe because it seems to be a popular New Year’s destination in the movies?
I think this New Year celebration will be wonderful for us. My kids have only last year started to understand the significance of New Year’s Eve and last year they both stayed up until midnight. They are already talking about seeing in the New Year which is so cute. They are only 8 and 6 years old now.
My parents are coming to stay and we will have a braai in the evening, then wait up for the fireworks on the beach which we can see from our house since we are on the beach.
When they are older maybe we can make a mission to an amazing destination for New Year’s Eve but for now we like it quiet at home.
These are all lovely places to celebrate New Year. My husband and I were thinking of going to New York City next year. It will be our first trip to America and we are very excited. Dubai is on our travel wishlist too.
Of all these places I would pick Singapore. It sounds just like the perfect place for me. I hope one day that will actually haooen Great list Shilpa, thank you.
I have atleast seen it at one place, which is Sydney. But frankly, just once was enough. The crowd gets crazier every year. And you have to walk for miles to the train station, slowly trudging behind thousands of people. But I have to say, Sydney police and transport does tremendous effort to keep the event as seamless as possible. I would like to see the one in Dubai, but rather from a rooftop or a hotel room
Nice suggestion for celebrating the new year with family and friends.
Thanks for this, Shilpa. Sadly, for us Aussies, and ones who love our Sydney, this year, if anyone is thinking of going to Sydney, they may need to have a plan B. The fires around the Sydney basin look like burning for some time yet and access in and out of Sydney varies from day to day. They will need to watch the news. I wish I didn’t have to say this. It is very kind of you to include Sydney as they are very proud of their New Year Celebrations and the Harbour is truly beautiful, I’ve visited that Harbour virtually every year of my life at some time during the year.
Surely the destinations are for people all set to welcome New Year Eve with enthusiasm and celebrate. Longing for a quite break.
A great and rightly mentioned list. Recently, we went to Singapore for a vacation and loved the city. The entire city was decked up for Christmas. There was mirth and celebration everywhere. My next destination would be NYC someday .
All places mentioned by you have been visited by me. However not for Nes years. Singapore definitely sounds most exciting.
I feel New York, Sydney & Dubai are the most happening places on the Earth to celebrate the New Year’s Eve with friends and family.
I am so fascinating with the new year list wish to celebrate at New york
This year my daughter and I are celebrating New year’s at our home only, but once they are a little more grown, this list is really useful. #Bookmarked
I love the spirit and grandeaur of the celebrations in New York. My bucketlist consists of visiting NYC during this time to be a part of the celebrations.
These are very nice places you have mentioned. This year I’m just having a quiet new year.
Dubai is a nice place to celebrate new years eve but we are celebrating at home this time.
Nice suggestion for celebrating the new year with family and friends.
