Celebrate new years eve with a bang!

We are already  in the month of November! Have you'll already started short-listing where you are going for your new year eve? A lot of us prefer sitting at home to avoid the over-crowded restaurants, or most of them have these small little parties at clubs and pubs. While some people like making it big, travel to places to celebrate and start off the new year. Here are a few destination, which I thought would help you chose a destination for the new year eve, and if not I would at least put in the thought that you could possibly just pack your bags, leave and kick-start your new year.


1.New York City

Few places rival the atmosphere of New Year's Eve in New York City, home to one of the night's most memorable events -- the Times Square New Year's Eve Ball Drop. A custom dating back to 1907, the iconic ball -- a 12-foot glittering sphere weighing 11,875 pounds -- is dropped each year at the turn of midnight from a flagpole on top of One Times Square, as the square is blitzed with one ton of shimmering confetti.


2. Paris
Paris lives up to its "city of lights" nickname come New Year's Eve, with fireworks dazzling the city streets and thousands of party-goers hitting the streets, bars and clubs to see in theNouvelle Anné. In the heart of the city, the Eiffel Tower forms the centerpiece for a spectacular lightshow and fireworks display, and the surrounding Champs-Elysees area comes alive with a massive street party. 

3. London

One of the last capitals in Europe to see in the New Year, London pulls out all the stops for the biggest party of the year. Over 250,000 people cram along the boats and banks of the River Thames and its surrounding bars and restaurants for a prime view of the night's events. 
4. Hawaii
One of the last places in the world to enter the New Year, New Year's Eve in Hawaii is sure to be a party worth waiting for. Bring in 2013 on the beach, with glittering fireworks displays illuminating the beachfronts at Aloha Tower, Waikiki and Ko Olina on Oahu; Wailea, Hana and Manele Bay on Maui; and Poipu Beach on Kauai.

5. Vienna

With its snow-trimmed streets still aglow with festive illuminations and the city's famous Christmas markets transformed into New Year fairs, Vienna is an atmospheric place to spend New Year's Eve. Hundreds of thousands take to the streets of Vienna to witness the city's fireworks at the Wiener Prater fun fair, but the city also hosts over a vast number of balls, galas and concerts that bring a touch of old age elegance to the proceedings. 



6. Melbourne
Hosting more than half a million people, Melbourne's vibrant New Year's Eve celebrations feature two official fireworks displays, with celebrations starting off the evening in Yarra Park. The city's impressive midnight display showers the entire city with color, with rockets launched from rooftops around central Melbourne and the Victoria Harbour. 

7. Sydney

One of the world's first cities to celebrate the New Year, Sydney's fantastical New Year's Eve lightshow is renowned around the globe. The towering Sydney Harbour Bridge is the centerpiece for celebrations with two fireworks displays set off from river barges and rooftops, and elaborate pyrotechnic displays setting Sydney Harbour and the iconic Opera House on fire. 

8. Whistler
For an action-packed New Year's Eve, Whistler makes the perfect location to tick some winter adventures off your bucket list. Spend the day snowboarding or snowmobiling, check out the free Festival of Lights exhibit at Millennium Place, then hit the icy lakes for a moonlit ice skate to kick start the celebrations.
