Rügen New Years Eve 2024

Things to do on new years eve. Guide to the top fireworks, parties, hotels and restaurants.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside and Rügen offers a slightly more sedate way of spending this New Years Eve. This gorgeous German island is a wonderful place to come and get away from it all without forgoing your Christmas and New Year party spirit. If you are there early on in December you can catch the Binz Christmas Market and from my own past experience, Germans really know how to do Christmas Markets!

In Rügen you can don your hiking boots and get out walking, although it's more than likely going to be a bit chilly, wrap up and get out exploring this lovely island. With epic long beaches which will be quiet during winter, to the stunning chalk cliffs. Make sure you go and see The Königsstuhl and also take time for a journey on the Rügen narrow-gauge railway.

New Years Eve Fireworks

Just like the Christmas Market, many people normally gather in Binz Kurpark for New Years Eve, with music, dancing and a great fireworks display down at the pier.

If you are in Gohren then head to the beach for the traditional New Years Eve party, Strandkorb Ester Silvester, where you can enjoy the medieval market and entertainment, dance along to the band and join in the celebrations free on the beach, at midnight grab your spot on the sand and watch the wonderful fireworks.

Staying closer to Sellin, then you should venture to the pier for midnight fireworks.
