The end of 2015 is approaching, a time to recount the good things and the bad things, the resolutions and hundreds of plans that we want to make in 2016. We all like to start the year on the right foot, with that feeling of that things are going to be better this year, that everything can be different, and that is why we recommend the best destinations to celebrate New Year's Eve 2015.
These destinations will allow you to have a spectacular and different end of the year. Live one of those experiences that are difficult to repeat. If we could, we would probably like to try a destination each New Year's Eve of those who come, but if you have to choose only one place, pay attention to all the proposals that we bring, since they are very inspiring.
New York
We have all seen the typical ball of lights going down in Times Square to announce the end of the year on television. But what would you say to celebrate it live and direct. It would certainly be an amazing and unforgettable experience. This ball has been counting down the last seconds of the year since 1907 in the great city of New York. The Times Square is filled with thousands of people who have been partying for seven hours before with musical performances and celebrity shows that are televised throughout the country. Finally, a shower of confetti falls on everyone gathered in the square to experience a special moment.
London
As I have visited London recently, I have been left with the bug of meeting him in these special moments. The English capital is another special place to celebrate the New Year. People congregates in the Big Ben area, where Parliament and the London Eye are. The big clock will be the one that will give the final chimes, with its usual elegance. It is impossible not to go through there and fall in love with the beautiful sound of those bells in such a busy city, so I totally recommend it. In addition, throughout the day and night the New Year's Parade takes place, a great parade that moves through the city with musicians, dancers and shows. There is also a great fireworks moment in front of the Thames that is not to be missed.
Sydney
Another place that I find charming, so it would be a dream come true to start the year in this Australian city. In the Port area people have been there hours before, either on boats or in the botanical garden area, to enjoy the fireworks. It is one of the first large cities to celebrate the New Year, and you also have the possibility to spend the day on Bondi beach, since the weather there is great at this time.
Canary Islands
If we do not want to go too far from home, we always have the possibility of going to the Canary Islands, where the weather has an average of 20 degrees in winter, so you can even go to the beach. We will get away from the winter cold for a few days and we will be very close. In many hotels they have New Year's parties in which they offer party favors and dances, but a good idea is to go and have the grapes at the Plaza de España in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Then you can continue the party in clubs such as the Papagayo Beach Club or the Monkey Beach.
Scandinavia
Would you like to celebrate the New Year twice? Well in Haparanda and Tornio it's possible. These two Scandinavian cities are located one in Finland and the other in Sweden. They are simply separated by a bridge a few minutes, but the curiosity is that they are in different time zones. The inhabitants of both towns, after dinner, go to the Plaza de la Victoria de Tornio to make the first countdown and celebrate the arrival of the New Year. But then they head to Haparanda across the bridge to celebrate again. Finally the party ends in the bars and clubs of the towns.
Tokyo
In this Japanese city there are many rituals that have to do with the New Year, and that will constitute an exotic and very enriching experience. You should say goodbye to the year eating the traditional noodles called toshikoshi-soba, which symbolize the hope of having a long life, being a way of making this wish. In addition, many people come to temples, such as the Meiji Jingu, to pray to the gods, ring the bell or drink the amazaki, which is a fairly strong sweet sake. The chimes countdown is usually celebrated at the famous crossing that always comes out when talking about the city, the largest and most complicated pedestrian crossing in the world. Finally, the party ends in the entertainment venues and karaoke bars of the city.
