If you’re planning on watching fireworks on New Years’, you have a lot to look forward to but you also need to keep a few things in mind. As with any city, things are going to be a little hectic and to get the most out of your experience you’ll need to keep these 5 tips in mind. If you do that, you’ll be well on your way to an excellent New Years’ with few mistakes.
No Taxis
There will be fewer taxis at this time because fewer people will be working and many people will want to be using them! If you need to get from one place to another, make sure to always have a couple of backup options to get there, as you may find your primary route isn’t going to work out. You’ll probably need to battle it out with other travellers at some points, but as long as you’re prepared with a plan then you shouldn’t have too much of a problem.
Pick One Spot
Watching the New Years fireworks in is an amazing experience anywhere. Because of this, there are about a million different destinations you can watch the fireworks from, but the worst mistake you can make is to move around. Not only will this be difficult due to the sheer number of people, but it also means that you risk losing your one location to move to another that may have more people and a worse view.
Your best bet for a great and stress free New Years’ is to pick your destination ahead of time and stick with it.
Get There Early
Once you choose your destination, get there early early early. Want a good spot for the fireworks? Great, so does every other person. If you’re not there early you may not get a great vantage point for watching them. Depending on where you are, if you’re travelling down under or not, it will probably be cold so remember to bundle up.
Bring Your Own Food
While there are plenty of food places around all the popular places to watch the fireworks and plenty of bars and places to have some drinks, you should bring snacks and some of your own food. Not only will this save money, but it means you don’t need to risk losing your place by getting up and moving around.
Maybe Choose A Boat If There’s An Option
Boats may be some of the best vantage points for watching fireworks, but one thing to keep in mind is once you’re on that boat there’s no getting off until it docks again, so this isn’t a great idea for people who have never been on a boat before. However, dinner and drinks and an excellent place to watch the fireworks could be an excellent investment.
Experiencing New Years’ either at home or as a traveler is an amazing experience and not one you’ll forget, so keeping these 5 tips in mind, go out and have an excellent time and ring in the new year with enthusiasm, we know you will.
