Things to Do on the Last Day of the Year | NYE Sydney
Sydney is one of those amazing tourist destinations that tops the list of must-visit places in the world. In every last few months of the year, the city sees more visitors than ever, let alone the last day of the year. One of the biggest and best experiences you shouldn’t miss if you’re in the city during December is the Sydney NYE. But that’s not all what the city has on offer on this much-awaited evening and here are some choices for you:
Celebrate NYE on a Cruise
New Year’s Eve cruises on Sydney Harbour have been an inevitable part of the celebrations that happen in the city. These cruises offer stunning views of the harbour attractions combined with a delectable dinner menu, entertainment, drinks and above all, prime views of the fireworks displays. Most New Year’s Eve cruises have fully licensed bars so that they can serve a selection of drinks and beverages for the duration of the cruise and spice up your NYE experience to its core. The long duration of these cruises is another highlight, because you can enjoy your best time with your favourite people on board, or perhaps make some new friends on board. Watch the fireworks from ringside seats while sipping on your favourite drinks. Some of these cruises also offer special shows for the guests to notch up the cruising experience. Watching the fireworks from the waters is indeed an unforgettable experience. So, consider this your cue to make a booking right away!

NYE in The Rocks
