Sydney, Australia
The Fest: An extravagant display of 80,000 fireworks set off from the elegant arch of Sydney Harbour Bridge. What Makes It Special: When midnight falls, Sydney's citizens know they're the first of any major city to toast the New Year. Continent-wise, it's all about location, location, location. The Crowd: More than one million very happy Aussies and 300,000 sun-burned visitors, all bent on eking out the best of summer. The Garb: It's a stylish beach town. And it's hot. So, tourists can pack light. Ideal For: Visitors from north of the equator, with a taste for an early start to the year. The Next Day: A dip at Bronte Beach, and a nap in the sun.
