Along with some fantastic festive events, Munich, as is common with all the major German cities, hosts a great selection of new years eve parties, with spectacular fireworks, Christmas markets, beer stalls and live entertainment offering a great range of celebrations to choose from.
The big event in Munich over the holiday season continues to be the famous Tollwood Winter festival on the Theresienwiese. On new years eve there are typically 2 special events on the calendar, the New Years Eve Gala, with Limbo Unhinged, at Spiegelzelt and the Big Tollwood New Years Eve Party, with concerts and live music at the Festival Ground.
The Gala is a seperate ticketed event and includes live cabaret entertainment and a 5 course dinner. Your gala ticket also gets you access to the new years eve party. Tickets available here.
The party takes place from 7pm, with plenty of food and drinks stalls, bonfires and a stilt theater. There will be live music throughout the evening and not forgetting you can always have your midnight Waltz. Please note that there will be tight security at this event, and bags will be searched on entry to the Theresienwiese.
You can get all the very latest on this years events and buy your tickets online here.
Away from the Tollwood event (where there aren't any actual fireworks) crowds gather at various points across the city to watch the city's organised midnight fireworks display over the Munich Old Town.
Popular vantage points include the Marienplatz, the Olympic hill in Olympia Park, Englischer Garten and the Bayerischer Hof, the Hofgarten on Odeonsplatz and the Maximilianeum parliament building on Maximiliansplatz, while the area around the Friedensengel peace angel offers fantastic panoramic views of the city.
Munich has a vibrant night life and so there is quite a few top nightclubs to choose from if you want to dance your way into the New Year. These are all normally ticketed events, so remember to book in advance.

The hotels of Munich compete to host the top new years eve parties, which is excellent news for visitors as it means you have plenty of options to choose from.
One top event to look out for is the annual New Years Eve Gala at the Munich Marriott Hotel - this offers buffet dinner, champagne, fireworks display and comes with good package deals to keep the room costs reasonable.
For availability and reservations at all of the top new years eve venues you can find all of the best Munich NYE hotels here.
There doesn't tend to be live TV coverage of the new year fireworks from Munich as the focus is typically on the big show in Berlin, but there are instead several excellent webcam views, where you can tune in to watch the celebrations remotely:
