1. Watch the fireworks

Our obvious first choice – this requires a fair amount of planning and risk-taking in terms of traffic and crowding. While being at the venue might not always guarantee you a good view of the impressive fireworks display, you can always look for nearby areas or locations which give you a unhindered experience of the first few minutes of 2017.

2. Alternative New Year

Not everyone loves the traditional New Year parties and its exorbitant celebrations, not to mention fighting for space everywhere you go. For those people, we have an entire guide on alternative plans to ring in 2017. From staying in, which is what the Guides team is looking forward to, to camping and travel, check out our 7 alternative New Year plans.
