Beautiful Sydney Harbour is centre stage for one of the biggest events of the year – New Year’s Eve in Sydney. If you’re in Sydney for New Year’s Eve, you’ll be in one of the first places on the planet to experience the exciting start to another new year.

Around 1.5 million spectators line the harbour foreshore - so plan ahead to ensure you have a safe and fun-packed New Year’s Eve.
