Enjoy the evening and night at Berlin’s big New Year’s celebration !!!
The world’s largest New Year celebration is in Berlin.
The highlight is the big show and concert with famous artists at the Brandenburg Gate, which is held annually 31 December.
With over one million people in the crowd, Berlin is among the best places to be this night.

Over 60,000 rockets wand up within 15 minutes.

An absolutely worth seeing events and an amazing experience for anyone who likes music and folk festivals.
One tip is to visit Berlin around Christmas, or some days between Christmas and New Years Eve, to see a couple of all Christmas markets.
Some of them are open until 31 December.
Start the last afternoon of the year with a visit to the besutiful Christmas Market at Gendarmenmarkt. From here it’s only a 15 minutes walk to Brandenburg Gate
They also have their own New Years Eve Silvester party at Gendarmenmarkt, worth checking out, but the NYE show and celebation at Brandenburger Tor may be the best alternative.
Hotels and Accommodation
Remember to book well in advance if you want a good hotel, and prepare yourself for the biggest New Year’s Eve party in Europe.
As for the Christmas markets in the city center, we recommend to stay at Alexanderplatz in central location, plus it is well connected with the S and U-bahn to the other markets we’ve mentioned at the Christmas Markets page.
You may prefer to stay closer to the Brandenburger Gate and there are many good hotels to choose from in that area too.
Clipper City Home Apartments Berlin is a fantastic apartment hotel only 800 meters from the Brandenburger Gate.
Spacious and clean apartments with all you need. Good price to be in central Berlin and very good reviews from its customers.
