NYE10 Midnight fireworks

Visiting Sydney

Sydney New Year’s Eve is one of the most visually exciting events in the world and has gained international recognition for its spectacular midnight Fireworks Display set on Sydney Harbour and featuring the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge.

New Year’s Eve is one of the most exciting times of the year in Sydney and a great time to soak up all the city has to offer.

Sydney comes alive in January with the Sydney Festival, when it is time to take to the streets and experience the unique energy and buzz, seen nowhere else on earth. With the Harbour and foreshore as the focal point, Sydney invites you to take part and share in the magic.

If you plan to visit Sydney over New Year’s Eve remember that accommodation generally books out quickly. To avoid disappointment, book well in advance. For information about accommodation, attractions and tours and other general tourist information visit sydney.com
