Are you ready to go big, bright and bold the last night of the year?

If so, these destinations around the world have a well-deserved reputation for throwing a great New Year’s Eve gala.

Bangkok

Bangkok often comes to mind when travelers seek out Asia’s best nightlife cities. So it’s a natural place to ring in the new year if you like crowds, bright lights, noise and carnivals.

You may want to continue the celebration at one of Bangkok’s stunning bars such as Sky Beach Bangkok, the city’s highest bar, or Sirocco, also set high above the bustling streets.

Rio de Janeiro

If you want to greet a new year with about 3 million other souls in a warm beach resort with strong Brazilian atmosphere, head to Rio de Janeiro.

The main gathering at Copacabana Beach, which starts even before dark, traditionally features a variety of musical acts and fireworks. If you want to party in classic Rio style, pay a visit to Jobi Bar. It’s a social institution in the city, having been open since the 1950s.

New York City

Times Square in Manhattan - it’s synonymous with New Year’s Eve across the United States. Even if you haven’t been there in person for the 10-9-8 countdown, there’s a good chance that you’ve watched the famous ball drop on television.
