As the year draws to a close, Ryanair, Europe’s no.1 airline, today (Thurs, 4 Dec) unveiled its top destinations to ring in the New Year.
From Malta’s festive traditions to Prague’s magical riverside celebrations, now is the perfect time to plan an unforgettable New Year’s Eve adventure.
- Dublin: A city famous for its warm hospitality and unmatched pub culture, Dublin’s New Year’s Festival returns with live music, dazzling light shows, and the highly anticipated midnight moment along the River Liffey. From traditional Irish sessions to lively street parties, Dublin offers a magical atmosphere for travellers of all ages.
- Malta: Has become an increasingly popular place to mark the New Year, with unmissable firework displays at both St. George’s Square and the Valletta Waterfront, bustling street parties, and plenty of Imbuljuta tal-Qastan to enjoy a traditional Maltese chestnut drink known as a classic New Year’s Eve staple.
- Prague: Offers a magical blend of history, celebration, and stunning scenery – not to mention some of Europe’s most popular New Year’s Eve river cruises. Make sure to visit The Old Town Square for the spectacular fireworks display that lights up the city.
- Barcelona: With its unbeatable mix of beachside celebrations, vibrant nightlife, and the iconic Plaça d’Espanya fireworks, Barcelona is set to be one of the hottest spots to ring in 2026. Visitors can enjoy festive tapas, open-air concerts, and the uniquely Spanish tradition of eating 12 grapes at midnight for good luck.
- Vienna: For those looking for a touch of elegance this New Year’s Eve, Vienna delivers. The city’s renowned Silvesterpfad (New Year’s Trail) fills the streets with music, dancing, and culinary treats, while classical concerts and the grand fireworks over the Prater create a spectacular backdrop as the clock strikes midnight.
