NEW YEAR’S PARTY IN BERLIN
The Biggest Free Party at Famous Brandenburg Gate
Nobody celebrates like Berliners. You see them on television every year at the world famous Brandenburg Gate which for 40 years stood as the demarcation between East and West Berlin, and since the fall of the wall, a million people gather to usher in the coming of the New Year. The celebration at the gate is one of the largest in the world, bigger than New York’s Time Square. The “Silvester” New Year’s festival runs a full mile from the Straße des 17 Juni (17th of June Street) to the Victory Column. Along this dense stretch are show stages with live performances by international music stars, DJs, rock & roll idols and pop bands. At the stroke of midnight the New Year is welcomed with spectacular fireworks and laser light shows. And admission is FREE!
So, why not head off to Berlin to bring in the future with the biggest free party and Twitter all your friends that your new year starts 6 hours before theirs, dancing in the streets with a million new friends. Performances on the stages begin about 2pm with rehearsals and sound checks, warm ups at about 6:30 with the rocking really beginning at 9pm and going until the wee hours of the morning. The line-up changes every year but some of Europe’s coolest bands want to play New Year in Berlin.
The Brandenburg Gate is one of the most well-known landmarks of Berlin and Germany, a former city gate, rebuilt in the late 18th century and based on the Roman idea of a triumphal arch, with the top adorned by chariots and horses. The Bradenburg Gate is located in the geographic city center, with the nearby Reichstag with its glass dome, the Potsdamer Platz, and the famous boulevard Unter den Linden. Book hotels in advance if possible but there should be space available if you don’t wait too late. Public transportation in Berlin is quite comprehensive with trains trams and busses, so getting about is not a problem, though surely crowded it will be. © Bargain Travel Europe
