8Reykjavik, Iceland
With panoramic views over the festivities, the capital of Iceland has an outsize nightlife and can turn out to be one of the best choices for New Year’s Eve.
On the last day of the year, Reykjavik throws a citywide celebration that lasts until morning.
Starting with community bonfires, which symbolize the burning away of the previous year’s troubles, and fireworks lighting up the sky, the party will definitely be memorable.
And for the best view of the show, head to the Perlan or Pearl which also hosts a New Year’s Eve party with dinner, dancing and lots of drinks.
Party animals, if you make it to 5 AM, head to the hot springs or have a hangover-helping hot dog.
