New Year's Eve in 6 European cities: which ones need a ticket

London's New Year fireworks need a ticket. They went on sale 23 October 🎆 No. 3 is my pick: a whole city centre turned into a party, and it's free to walk in. 1️⃣ London: you can't watch the Thames fireworks without a ticket, whatever your age. First tickets went on sale 23 October on Ticketmaster, £40 to £55, and a second, smaller batch comes later 2️⃣ Edinburgh: the Hogmanay Street Party on 31 December from 20:00 is ticketed, and so is the Torchlight Procession on the 29th 3️⃣ Vienna: the Silvesterpfad turns the old town into a party route from 14:00 to 02:00, free entry. At midnight there's a Danube waltz as the cathedral's Pummerin bell rings 4️⃣ Salzburg: the old town party on Kapitelplatz, with official fireworks from the fortress at midnight. Private fireworks are banned 5️⃣ Reykjavík: the city usually lights bonfires on New Year's Eve, unless the wind is too strong 6️⃣ Funchal: festivities from 1 December to 10 January, with fireworks over the bay on the 31st Check the ticket before you book the flight, especially for London. 👉 Swipe for all six and the ticket rules. Save this for your trip and send it to who you'd go with. Where are you seeing the new year in? 👇 📷 Rumman Amin, Chris Flexen, Kate K, Kirill Khripunov / Unsplash
