With fireworks, street parties and family events taking place all across the city, Manila is a great location to celebrate New Years Eve.

For visitors to the city, the Manila offers a great selection of top hotels at very reasonable prices, making this very much a top recommendation for spending new years eve in a major and thriving capital city without having to completely blow your budget.

New Years Eve Fireworks

They really do not mess around in Manila when it comes to celebrating new years eve. There are fireworks pretty much everywhere you look, firecrackers being set off and crowds of people looking to bring in the new year with a bang, with the Baywalk, a 2km promenade along Manila's waterfront, a popular gathering point for the new year celebrations.

For some great firework viewing, venture to Rizal Park, a popular place for families to gather and enjoy the fireworks or along Roxas Boulevard, Manila's waterfront promenade. These too will have hundreds of thousands of people gathering, so expect everywhere to be busy.

If you are in the Makati area, there is plenty going on, from street parties to street markets! The place will be packed with people all enjoying the party atmosphere.

Things to do

If you're in Manila for new years eve then it would be remiss of us to not mention some of the sites worth visiting.

Top recommendations include Manila's National Museum of the Philippines to see its Fine Art, Archaeology, Ethnography and Natural History collections. If you happen to be in this neck of the woods then you might also want to also visit Intramuros (The Walled City) to learn a little more of Manila's history and go see Fort Santiago.

There are many incredible Churches to visit while you are here, like San Agustin Church, San Sebastian Church, Quiapo Church, the Monastery of Saint Agustin and Malate Church.

There are lots of large shopping malls for those looking for a spot of retail therapy and to wile away the hours indoors. Try Greenbelt Mall or Power Plant Mall in the Makati area, Robinsons Place Mall or Shangri-La Plaza in Luzon. These are all large scale malls with plenty of shops and eateries to choose from.
