Venice
As last year, Venice will welcome the New Year's Eve by mass kissing in the name of love on St. Mark's Square as well as on the Piazza Ferretti in Mestre with the music and fireworks in the background.
Italians love holidays and celebrations and welcoming the New Year is no exception. The last day of the old year is dedicated to the celebrations of La Festa di San Silvestro, January 1st is the holiday of Il Capodanno. But what distinguishes the "Eternal City" from other Italian cities are the traditional New Year's Eve celebrations at Piazza del Popolo Square.
If you decide to spend the evening in the open air, we give to your attention the three-day marathon (30/12/2011 – 01/01/2012) when live bands from different countries perform on the Vörösmarty Square.
For nearly 20 years, the core of the Austrian capital has changed to a scene of lively street celebrations. More than 70 stalls and 10 stages are there to entertain the visitors on so-called New Year's Eve string (Silvesterpfad).
Before midnight, full bars, restaurants, clubs and river boats empty out to the Main Square and the riverside where visitors gather to celebrate the arrival of the New Year and to watch fireworks. There is no doubt that Prague is one of the most beautiful historical cities but if you visit it at the New Year, you will experience the city turned into one mega party.
How about visiting the Balkans and exploring the historical city centre featuring on the UNESCO list while celebrating the New Year? If you do so, you should certainly not miss the famous Stradun of Dubrovnik.
Welcome to Partyslava! Thanks to the regular shuttle between Bratislava and Vienna, it is possible to combine a visit to both capitals with a river boat trip and celebrations at the Danube.
