Times Square

20 Best Places to Go for New Year's Eve Celebrations Around the World

"Cusqueños love a good party, and come December 31st, the city’s monumental Plaza de Armas turns into a sky-high Andean celebration complete with live music, dancing, and fireworks. The festivities attract a good mix of locals and foreigners, who spill out from the main square onto the surrounding historic streets and alleyways where bars, clubs, and restaurants brim with NYE parties and menus. And while there’s a spread of local superstitions associated with the holiday, don’t miss out on two essentials while here: Wear yellow for good fortune and prosperity, then link up hands with fellow revelers as they make a counterclockwise turn around the plaza—the ritual’s said to ensure a year full of good luck ahead."
