If you are hunting for fun around the world, just keep in mind these five cities: Amsterdam, Dublin, Istanbul, Lisbon and Moscow. According to TripandTravelBlog, these are the cities across the globe that you should visit at least for the arrival of 2013.
Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a classic destination: the cold is biting and the snow rather frequent. It is not forbidden to stand open-mouthed in front of this amazing city: fireworks, the celebrations in Dam Square or one of the many squares, the local Rembrandtplein or Leidseplein. You will not be disappointed in the city of tulips.
Dublin
Even in Dublin the weather is favorable, but the atmosphere is absolutely magical. Pay attention to Grafton Street in Camden and the pubs of Temple Bar: it’s time to get lost in a river of Guinness and wait for midnight to warm you. When you hear the bells of Christchurch and the Basilica of St. Patrick, remember to order another pint to toast 2013.
Istanbul
Istanbul has a very different temperature: mild winter for the city on Bosporus, which is suspended between East and West. The minarets, domes, mosques, skyline’s unique cuisine: getting lost in the narrow streets of the Turkish city for a few hours and indulge in the flavors, smells and the environment that you will find there.
Lisbon
Lisbon offers a more temperate climate and a night of celebration as you’ve never lived. Baixa is waiting for you: Praça do Comercio is the beating heart of the party, accompanied by fireworks on the Tagus, Lisbon is beautifully visible from the altitude of Alfam the Castle.
Moscow
The recommendation finishes with Moscow, where is will be an effort to go to Russia in winter because of the cold that embraces the entire state. But the capital will give you an unparalleled charm: you can chose between a midnight in Red Square which can be an unforgettable experience, including live music and fireworks. Obviously you should get some vodka in order to warm up!
