New Year's celebrations in Europe (part I)

New Year's celebrations in Europe (part I)

  New Year is a special holiday, so you want to spend it unusually. If you are bored with the predictable New Year's scenario at the family table, and your soul yearns for vivid impressions, go to one of the European countries.



  Berliners are preparing for the New Year's Eve with the utmost care. With the onset of December, skating rinks, ice slides and attractions open in city squares. At Berlin bazaars and fairs, you can enjoy the taste of traditional German delicacies and buy various souvenirs. The New Year's Eve takes place at the Brandenburg Gate, on a huge platform with rides, carousels and stages. Numerous stalls sell hot drinks and delicious pastries. Hundreds of thousands of tourists and residents of Berlin gather on a huge square. If you want to get to the main city holiday, you need to come to the square no later than 20:00. Exactly at 12 o'clock, the launch of grandiose fireworks begins here, but you will not hear the symbolic chime of the clock.



  Fans of fun and entertainment can go to Prague. New Year is one of the most beloved holidays in this country, but the most large-scale events take place in the country's capital. On New Year's Eve, you can see a huge number of tourists and locals on the streets of Prague, since it is not customary to celebrate the New Year at home here. In Prague restaurants, the New Year's menu always includes traditional dishes (roast goose, boar's knee), and a rich entertainment program awaits guests.



Booking a table in a restaurant should be done in advance. Guests and residents of Prague celebrate the New Year on the Old Town Square, where the Orloj clock is installed on the town hall building. After the chiming clock, those who wish go to the Charles Bridge to queue up for the statue of John of Nepomuk and, touching it, make a wish. But New Year's fireworks in Prague begin on January 1 at six o'clock in the evening and last thirty minutes!



  New Year's Eve in Barcelona is held in the family circle. On New Year's Eve there are no fireworks or special entertainment, but the city streets are quite crowded. The main clock of the country is located in Madrid, in Plaza del Sol. Before they strike midnight, each Spaniard must eat 12 grapes and make the same number of wishes.
