1. Berlin
Germany's Christmas markets have long enjoyed a fantastic reputation, so do try to go on your break a little earlier so that you can enjoy the sights, smells and tastes of an authentic Christmas market. And then enjoy exploring the clean and welcoming city that has a range of activities and events occurring all year round. Enjoy theatre and cultural offerings and make sure you get a good vantage point for the annual New Year street celebration that is located between the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column.
2. Prague
Prague has something of a name for New Year's celebrations and it is now the preferred destination of ten of thousands of people. Called the 'golden city' for reasons now lost to antiquity (one theory holds that it is from the a time when the domes and spires were covered in gold, another from the practise of alchemy, when it was believed base metal could be transmuted into the precious metal), Prague is a fun and vibrant New Year destination. You can explore the pubs and clubs in the run up to midnight, then get yourself to Letna Park for the annual firework show, to welcome in the new year.

1. Rome
Rome is rich in history, but has always followed trends, adapting itself to the latest progress and making the most of it.

People come from all over to listen to the Pope's speeches and to enjoy moments of peace and prayer. But there is plenty for secular visitors to do too, with a 24-hour festival on the Circus Maximus, fireworks in the centre of the city and restaurants, pubs and clubs open till late.
2. Reykjavik
Get away from the chaos of commercialism and enjoy Nature's own New Year celebration by watching the Northern Lights illuminate the sky while you are surrounded by the charming wooden houses and hotels. If you crave company, there are bonfires, fireworks, and other entertainments, as well as plenty of restaurants and pubs to spend the hours in the run-up to the change between the old year and the new.
