New Year - Rituals around the World

Within just 24 hours, billions of people around the world celebrate peculiar, original, and classic New Year’s rituals. If you spend the last day of the year in another country, you will soon see that dancing the Waltz, drinking champagne, and fireworks at midnight are not typical traditions everywhere. How, when, and where is the end of the year celebrated? Discover how the new year is welcomed elsewhere in the world with a few examples – and which rituals are supposed to increase the hope for luck, love, wealth, fertility, and health. 

This programme combines a regionally-themed tour with a subsequent glass of champagne (or a non-alcoholic alternative).
