New Year Recommendations
 
Hi,
I would be grateful for some comment on the the "Best Place" to spend New Year's in Europe.
I spent last New Years in Prague and it was amazing/fabouous and great fun.

Cheers

Edinburgh is probably the biggest/most fun. I'd like to try Vienna - it would likely be amazing too . . . . .

Edinburgh. With out a doubt.

So what's happening in Edinburgh to make it special/that much fun?
Just being curious - and who knows, we don't have plans yet...

I know that a lot of Americans from our base (a few hours south of Edinburgh) spend their New Year's Eve there and always come back saying that it's the MOST fantastic NY's party they have ever attended. I haven't been to Edinburgh at that time of year, so I can't testify to that, myself.

I haven't made plans either. Never been to Edinburgh, but maybe I can be enticed. So, please, tell me more. ((b))

I haven't gotten there YET (maybe this year--if I can afford it after Malta in October) but Iceland looks to have some really cool New Year celebrations, with bonfires all around and such.

Reykjavik rocks!

Cheers...have a look into that.
Malts??? not the best place in the world.... sorry there is just much nicer/interesting/beautiful/cleaner/fun places that malta...like Croaita..Dunbrovnik..Split...Zageb..and on and on and not to mention never ending adriatc coast...it's a must!!!

Ah, well, there are still many,many places-to-go on my list, but Malta is my little trip this year for its incredible history and archaeological sites rather than for its coast or the resort areas.

So far, Iceland is my favorite country of all I've been to; here's hoping that I can get there for New Year's to round out the two summer trips and a fall one.

Happy trails!
