Hanoi on new years eve is jam packed and is traditionally marked by a series of large, and very noisy parties right across the city as locals and visitors gather to welcome the new year in style. There has traditionally been large scale fireworks displays too but recent years have seen this cut back, but there's still so much to do!
We recently saw the return of the fireworks across the city in 6 key locations: Thong Nhat Park, Hoan Kiem Lake, My Dinh National Stadium, Lac Long Flower garden, Van Quan Lake and Son Yat ancient citadel.
The new years eve party at the end of December is not to be confused with the Tet Eve celebration, the Vietnamese equivalent of the Chinese new year, that date of which is controlled by the lunar calendar and generally falls some time in late January through to mid February.
One big regular event is the exceptionally loud New Year Countdown Festival held each year around Hoan Kiem Lake, featuring both live music and contemporary dance performances and of course fireworks.
Held in and around Cach Mang Thang Tam Square. This party features top live performances and local DJ sets as well as spectaculat visual lights displays.
In the bars and clubs of Hanoi there are a huge range of parties to choose from - top venues to look out for include Hanoi Creative City, Tadioto and Hanoi Rock City. /p>
If you don't want to brave the massive crowds, then you might want to head to some of the amazing roof top bars that look out over the Old Quarter, giving you the perfect view over Hoan Kiem Lake. Try out Skyline, Terraco Sky Bar, Northern Soul Rooftop Bar, Ignite Sky Bar and Top of Hanoi.
There is no shortage of top quality hotel accommodation in Hanoi, with the added bonus that many of the most popular places also host excellent new years eve parties of their own, making it much easier to plan your evening.
Venues that you can normally stay and also enjoy a party without having to leave the comfort of your hotel include the JW Marriott Hanoi, Pan Pacific Hanoi, the Hilton Hanoi Opera and the Sofitel Legend Metropole on Ngo Quyen.
You can search for deals at all of these venues, plus all of the top Hanoi new years hotels here.
There's not much in the way of live streams but you can always catch up with Youtube.
