| The New Years Eve fireworks display in Sydney is well known for being one of the best in the world. This is not only because Sydney has such a beautiful harbour that hosts the display and that so many people are able to watch the fireworks from all along the harbour foreshore. The other reason why Sydney is so popular on New Years Eve is because of the warm summer weather and the city's iconic buildings like the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, which provide the perfect backdrop for the colourful explosions of light that the city puts on. There are a few different places along the harbour from where the fireworks are set off and if you are lucky enough to get accommodation in one of the city's high rise apartment buildings or hotels then you will have a great vantage point to view everything from. The only disadvantage of the Sydney New Years Eve fireworks is that you have to book your accommodation very early in order to get a good spot. |

HOW TO GET THERE
The best way to get into the city centre to see the Sydney New Years Eve fireworks display is to catch public transport. You can take advantage of the many extra train, bus and ferry services that are available all throughout the night of New Years Eve, although be aware that getting home after the fireworks can take some patience, especially when it comes to catching the ferries from Circular Quay or trains from one of the main city stations. |
