Berlin New Years Eve 2024

Things to do in Berlin on new years eve. Top fireworks, concerts, live music, parties and hotels for NYE 2023-2024

New Years Eve in Berlin is probably best known for its incredible midnight fireworks display over the iconic Brandenburg Gate, but it's also a cultural mecca and in recent years has become almost as well known for the great range of live music in the city on new years, with the EDM genre proving especially popular.

The focal point of the celebrations is the famous and iconic Brandenburg Gate, which stands sentinel over the architecturally dramatic city centre and uses this position of prominence well in holding the main midnight fireworks display.

We were fortunate enough to finally get to visit Berlin in person in 2016 and can confirm that it is a wonderful, vibrant place to come to, although be aware that in winter is can be very, very cold! The image on this page is actually one of our own, the Brandenburg Gate looks spectacular at night.

Brandenburg NYE Party & Fireworks

The official New Years Eve Party in Berlin is the huge event that takes place along the city's famous Tiergarten, on the Strasse des 17 Juni between Brandenburger Tor and Siegessaule, running from the Brandenburg Gate to the Victory Column.

There is live music, spectacular light shows and a range of entertainment throughout the evening, culminating in the fantastic midnight fireworks - over a million people typically attend so make sure you get there nice and early, especially as they do tend to shut the gates once the area is full, so make sure you don't miss out completely!

New Year's Eve on the Spree Berlin

This is a great outdoor (heated) event on the Spreeterrasse where you have a beautiful view of the Spree and Berlin Skyline. With a buffet, drinks and DJ party and dancing. Details and tickets here.

TV Tower New Years Eve

Away from the main party, there will be fireworks across the city lighting up the sky, including at The Fernsehturm TV tower at Alexanderplatz - this landmark is actually one of the tallest buildings in Europe, and boasts an observation platform located over 200 metres above the city, providing an excellent vantage point for fireworks viewing. Having been up there myself I can confirm this is probably the best view anywhere in the city!

Potsdamer Platz Party

Potsdamer Platz is another popular and busy area of the city, with a wide range of hotels, bars and restaurants that tends to provide a focal point for gatherings earlier in the evening, before the main crowds start to head on down to the main street parties.

Charlottenburg Palace Classic New Year's Eve Gala
