HOMEMilan New Years Eve 2024
Things to do on new years eve in Milan. Top fireworks, hotels and events for NYE 2023-2024
Milan conjures images of Italian fabulousness and La Festa del San Silvestro, the local name for new years eve in Milan, is celebrated here as loudly and lively as any Italian city, with locals and visitors alike heading out into the city to see in the new year in fine style.
Milan's famous range of bars and restaurants and associated culinary offers are legendary, but add in the prospect of dramatic fireworks displays against some of the most dramatic architectural backdrops imaginable and you have a recipe for a great event.
New Years Eve Fireworks
The Italian people love a great fireworks display, but unfortunately in previous years this has led to a high level on injuries, meaning that the police have started to make a real effort to clamp down on any potential problems. This has obviously had a big impact on the amount of fireworks across the Milanese cityscape, and even the main event has been impacted, with the local council invoking anti-air pollution laws to keep the amount of fireworks down.
The moral of the story? If you want to be absolutely certain of seeing some pyrotechnics come midnight to welcome in 2024 then make sure you are attending an officially organised and advertised event.
Piazza Del Duomo New Year Party
In Milan, this means heading to the area around the PIazza del Duomo or the Piazza Castello where you will be joined by large crowds of locals in a street party that starts around 8pm and continues well into the early hours of New Years Day, or Il Capodanno. There is usually some lovely fireworks in these locations too!
New Years Eve Hotels
Milan is of course renowned worldwide for the range and quality of it's hotel accommodation, and on ne years eve it is indeed the city's hotels that provide the bulk of the popular celebrations.
Most venues will be hosting their own private new year events, and you will typically find offers to include accommodation, entertainment and dining as part of a package deal.

Bars & Clubs
For the livelier, younger crowd the bars and nightclubs of Milan all join in the festivities with gusto, and there is a huge variety of events to choose from, but make sure you book your tickets well in advance as the most popular venues will sell out.
