Europe has such a diverse range of cultures, customs and languages that it is rare to find a festival or event that is celebrated uniformly across the continent, but in New Years Eve we have one such occasion. The local venues may deploy variations on the theme, but in general terms you're going to have food, drink, music, dancing and of course fireworks!
With so many big cities in a relatively small area it's difficult to decide exactly where to go for your European new year party experience so we hop the guides on these pages help - it's by no means an exhastive list but we've tired to cover the biggest/most popular locations.
