Details may vary, but year after year these destinations around the globe organize the most spectacular evening of the year.
Sydney, Australia
Sydney is the first international city to greet New Year at midnight. Fireworks explode from Sydney Harbor, with Opera House and Harbor Bridge in the background.
The islands near the harbor and the parks around offer spectacular views.
Bonus: New Year coincides with the start of spring in Australia.
2. Taipei, Taiwan
New Year's Eve in Taipei, the capital of the island of Taiwan, is a visual spectacle.
The city's tallest building, the Taipei 101, serves as the starting point for an unforgettable fireworks display.
The city also organizes musical performances that precede the years.
3. Bangkok
Bangkok is often included in the list of cities with the most impressive nightlife. Therefore, it is only natural to be on this list. I love those who like crowds, noise and jewelry.
CentralWorld Plaza, Bangkok's largest square, is where everyone comes together to see the spectacle. Others gather in Asiatique, where they can go shopping, while others in top-notch restaurants like Sirocco.
4. Dubai
Burj Khalifa in Dubai is one of the most fantastic skyscrapers in the world and it becomes even more incredible the night of the change of years.
Burj Khalifa holds the record as the tallest building in the world and entire crowds gather under it to watch fireworks jump from the top. Others who prefer tranquility turn to the Burj Plaza.
Dubai is known for great food, so do well at luxury restaurants like Cavalli Club Dubai.
Also, if you want to go shopping, head to Dubai Mall, one of the largest in the world.
5. Moscow
The historic Red Square in the middle of Moscow is extremely cold, but also extremely beautiful, especially at night.
You can visit the tombstones of Communist leader Vladimir Lenin or see closely the relics of the Cold War from the Soviet era.
If you want to celebrate the changing years of an aristocrat, go to the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow. It is located in the center and has a bar on the top floor.
6. Cape Toon
Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in Africa and the world. New Year's fireworks just make the beauty of the city more spectacular.

As in Australia, Cape Town is also in early spring.
7. London
London and Thames are always a beautiful New Year's Eve look. You can see the view from Primrose Hill, Parliament Hill, Greenwich Park and Alexandra Palace.
Even boat rides on the river provide a good view of the fireworks.
If you prefer bars, London Skybar and Old Bell Tavern are recommended.

If you want to greet the New Year with two million other people in a warm beachfront resort, head to Rio de Janeiro.
Holiday in Copacabana has music and fireworks.
To celebrate as locals, head to Job Bar, an institution open in the 1950s. If you like fireworks and city views, you'll love Vista Chinesa.
9. New York
Wherever you live, you've probably seen the time of the year at Times Square in New York. If you don't want to pack up with a million people in Times Square, you can go to Grand Army Plaza, Resorts World Cssino and Throgs Neck.

Vegas is illuminated year-round, but on December 31, the city conveys other sensations. The road closes for cars and pedestrians occupy the city. At midnight, casinos throw their fireworks.
