Europe New Years Eve 2014

Fireworks, Events, Live Stream, Webcams, Parties, Hotels

Europe, as such a diverse continent has a wide range of New Years Eve traditions. In Austria, New Year's Eve is usually celebrated with friends and family. In Belgium, New Year's Eve is celebrated with family parties, called réveillons in the French speaking areas. In the Czech Republic New Year's Eve (Silvestr) is the noisiest day of the year. People generally gather with friends at parties, in pubs, clubs, in the streets, or city squares to eat, drink, and celebrate. Fireworks are a popular tradition; in large cities such as Prague, the fireworks start before noon and steadily increase until midnight.

 In France, New Year's Eve (la Saint-Sylvestre) is usually celebrated with a feast, le Réveillon de la Saint-Sylvestre. In Germany, parties are common on New Year's Eve (Silvester). Fireworks are very popular, both with individuals and large municipal displays. Spanish New Year's Eve (Nochevieja or Fin de Año) celebrations usually begin with a family dinner, traditionally including a Spanish Omelette, shrimp or prawns, and lamb or capon.
