New Year’s Eve is a mega-holiday. The other holidays in the year celebrate something specific; romantic love for Valentine’s Day; thankfulness and being grateful during Thanksgiving. New Year’s Eve, however, is a celebration for celebrations sake. It encompasses everything; the bringing in of another year, new goals, an optimistic look towards the future, resolutions, and promising yourself to become a better you.

When celebrating something this monumental, you want to celebrate to your fullest ability. You want to set the tone of the upcoming year with good vibes and high spirits. So if you’re thinking of going away for any holiday this year, New Year’s Eve is, arguably, one of the best times of year to do it.

So many cities around the world herald lively atmospheres for their NYE celebration, it can be hard to choose where your ideal destination lies. For some, the appeal might be tucked into the heart of a city like Tokyo, which hosts one of the best fireworks displays in the world. For others, the appeal might be a relaxing getaway from the lingering winter to a warmer destination like the Christmas Islands or Cancun.

We’ve taken all this into consideration and come up with a list of some of this most incredible places for travellers to welcome the new year as their best one yet:

New York City

No New Year’s Eve destination list would be reliable if New York City wasn’t on the list. NYC is our first pick because every celebration embodies the new year spirit, in that there’s always new experiences to enjoy while you’re there. If you’ve never been, it’s a once in a lifetime journey that should be on your bucket list; if you’ve already been, you’re bound to find something new! Whether you’re watching the famous ball drop in historic Times Square, catching any number of special music concerts, or even walking around and checking out the sites, this is the time of year to forgo rest in The City That Never Sleeps.
