All other activities like carnivals, parades and lightworks are centered around the Sydney Harbour. The Sydney Harbour New Year’s Eve cruises, in recent years, has been a top attraction in the harbour because it offers arguably the best views of the illuminating skies.

Paris, France
Dubbed ‘The City of Lights’, Paris is the capital and most populous city in France. Paris is one of the most iconic cities in Europe, hosting one of the seven wonders of the world, the Eiffel Tower. So it is not surprising that the French capital has a variety of parties and entertainment ready for the end of the year. Every year, hundreds and thousands gather to fill up Paris’ clubs, restaurants and streets for an episode of fun. The long, thin and neatly trimmed park/garden leading upto the monumental Eiffel Tower, the Champ de Mars, is the point where the majority of people flock to. It's an unofficial gathering point for New Year’s Eve where people make new friends, spend the evening outside, watching the lit up towers and waiting to shout "Happy New Year". Next stop is the Champs-Élysées, which is a famous street of the city where people gather around 9pm to be in position for the wild midnight light-show. This is also the location for the Parisian New Year’s Eve street party which has taken place every year since way back. Next is a place called Wanderlust which is the coolest bar in Paris, also famed for its design which is of a caterpillar. Long away from the traditional clubbing of Parisians, the Wanderlust has been on the radar since its inception in 2012 and it now appeals to many internationally renowned music DJs who play with open music decks. Dance under the stars at the stroke of midnight on the large terrace overlooking the Seine River. Visit this mesmerising city for an unforgettable experience.
