Top Places To Spend New Years Eve

2. Sydney

Next is Sydney Australia, which is in a unique position geographically to be on the top ten list. Due to the Oceanic region's location on the world map, the time zone of Sydney makes it one of the first major cities to ring in the New Year. Although they are not number one on the countdown, the Down Under is first heard and seen. With a huge celebration every year iconic structures, such as the Sydney Opera House, make for a scenic view under the firework-lit sky canvas. There are plenty of acrobatics, shows, and ceremonies, including an Aboriginal smoking tradition, making this Aussie phenomenon one for the books.
