Sydney is the capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia, located on the east coast. The city surrounds the world largest natural harbour and it lays towards the Blue Mountains, to the west side.

Besides its amazing attractions and beautiful landscapes, Sydney is a special destination to spend New Year’s Eve. If Paris is called the city of lights, Sydney could be named the city of fireworks, and winter holidays are a suitable chance to see the lights shows. Sydney is intensely visited by many tourists throughout the year, but on New Year’s Eve, there is an unforgettable background.

For a memorable pass to 2016, there are many activities to do and things to see, not only during the day, but also in the night. While walking through the city, the visitors can enjoy aerial displays across the sky or they can visit the Royal Botanic Gardens.

In the evening, there are more many alternatives. At 9 pm, there are spectacular fireworks, especially organized for children. The fantastic 8 minutes display takes place on the harbour bridge and it goes with a specific soundtrack. There is another fireworks show at the stroke of midnight, with breath taking pyrotechnic effects, fired from 7 barges on the harbour, 4 sails of Sydney Opera House and from the harbour bridge, all synchronized with music tracks.

The lights parade from Sydney Harbour is an enchanting show for all tourists, with vessels and boats floating around in an unique choreography, all decorated with colorful lights. The parade takes place shortly after the 9 pm fireworks, after which you can choose where to spend the time until the midnight fireworks.
