The Deep Sea

How ironic is it that the Dead Sea is on the verge of death itself? Due to diminishing flow of water, water usage, and increased water evaporation, the Sea is drying up and is likely to go extinct within the next century. When visiting, you must test your floating skills in the world’s deepest hypersaline lake; witness the Qumran—a place that held the oldest bible intact for more than 2,000 years, and do a sunrise hike to the top of the Masada, an isolated rock plateau that is one of the best spots for panoramic views of the Dead Sea and Moab Mountains.  Hotels such as the Kempinski Hotel Ishtar and Evason Ma’In are in close proximity to the Sea and are reasonably priced at under $200 per night. And there’s so much more to see in this region from Jerusalem to Petra.

Maldives

Easily among the most beautiful archipelagos in the world, the white sand and sapphire beaches of the Maldives offer one of the most breathtaking island experiences. Unfortunately, according to climate scientists, the Maldives is at risk of disappearing due to the rising sea levels, so make sure to visit the Maldives before the country goes under the sea.

There are numerous things to do in the Maldives, and not surprisingly, most involve water. It’s a top spot for diving and great for snorkeling, fishing, and sailing. There are fabulous private island resorts throughout the Maldives, which cost upwards of $1,000 per night for overwater villas, but it feels like you have paradise all to yourself. For barefoot luxury at its finest, try Cocoa Island by COMO; Cheval Blanc Randheli; Jumeirah Vittaveli; and the new St. Regis Maldives. And for the ultimate experience, the Four Seasons, which has 2 properties and a liveaboard catamaran offers a three-resort itinerary that provides you 9 nights of island bliss!

Venice

What’s more thrilling than walking on water? Walking in water might become the norm, as the city is sinking, and one day it may begin restricting access to visitors. I once visited Venice during one of its record torrential rains and had to scramble to buy knee-high plastic rain boots to step in the foot-deep pools created in the piazzas and walkways. It was quite an unexpected adventure in one of the most iconic cities in the world.

There is quite a lot you can do once you reach this place. You can rent a boat to ride through the Grand Canal or even go to the Campanile—a 99-meter tall iconic building that oversees the city. You can visit several wonderful museums such as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection or buy amazing glassworks from Murano. Visiting the city can be a bit pricey, so expect to pay at least $300+ per night for lodging near the famous Grand Canal.  A few recommend hotels are the PalazzinaG for modern, Venetian interiors designed by Philippe Starck, and the Hotel Danieli, which has that old-world Venetian charm in a fantastic location overlooking the Grand Canal and next to St. Mark’s Square.

Let’s take a look at some of the most famous venues, before unveiling a few hidden gems that you may have been – until now – blissfully unaware of.

London, Paris, and Berlin

It’s only right and proper that three of the continent’s biggest cities have New Year’s celebrations to match their status.

Whilst London has one of the most famous firework displays on the planet – kicked off every year by the chiming of the ancient bells of “Big Ben” – the after parties are usually un-ticketed affairs spread across each little borough and district. Perfect for those of you who like to play fast and loose with plans.

Paris is the so-called “City of Lights”, and there won’t be many individuals who would be annoyed at ringing in the new year under a brightly-lit Eiffel Tower. Celebrations are slightly different here, with no official firework display. However, with fireworks legal across the city, you’ll see more than your fair share of them lighting up the Parisian sky. Much like London, parties are available across the city. From club nights, to high-brow affairs in museums and galleries, how you decide to celebrate is up to you.

By contrast, Berlin operates a “one party for all” system. Celebrations are directed to one huge 2km-long street party running between the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column. This area has everything you could ever want to celebrate the passing of another year. Live bands, DJs, and one of the biggest fireworks displays in the world all help to kick off the new year in style for locals and visitors alike.

But what about those lesser-known destinations that take new year even more seriously than the major capitals? Here’s the best places to celebrate new year that you might not have even thought of.

Madeira, Portugal

The tiny volcanic island of Madeira is 1,000km from the European mainland, but is part of Europe by extension of its Portuguese ownership. Despite being 520km from any other land mass, the island entertains 1.4 million tourists a year – a great of which arrive on a cruise ship to the port of Funchal, the capital of Madeira.

Despite its remote location, Madeira puts on one of the biggest firework displays around. The capital Funchal is surrounded by steep volcanic hills which makes a great naturally-occurring amphitheater for enjoying the show. Thousands of lights are also strung along the city’s main avenues, making this-already picturesque location even more delightful on this
special night.

Reykjavik, Iceland

If you though Madeira was committed to their fireworks, Reykjavik takes it to a whole new level. Not because there is an official celebration as such, but because the 200,000 local citizens manage to set off a staggering 500 tons of fireworks each New Year’s Eve. Yes, you read that right, 500 tons. Who said living on the outskirts of the Arctic circle couldn’t be fun?

No matter where you decide to enjoy your evening, you are bound to take in an almost never-ending display of color lighting up the night sky. Better still, since January in Iceland means almost 20 hours of darkness a day, it’s a great idea to dedicate some of your trip to looking for the most elusive of natural light displays – the northern lights.

Edinburgh, Scotland

New year in Scotland is not even called new year. It’s called Hogmanay, and the celebration of it lasts over two days! Festivities start on the 30^th, before carrying on through into the early hours of the 1^st of January. There are all kinds of official celebrations packed into the historic town of Edinburgh.

Whether you choose to attend Hogmanay in the Gardens headlined by huge global stars such as Mark Ronson, or prefer to experience the cultural phenomenon that is the Ceiledh Under the Castle, there’s something to get your teeth into. Of course, like all good New Year’s Eve celebrations, midnight on the 31^st signals the start of a spectacular firework display which takes place above the famous Edinburgh Castle.

Try Something Different in Europe to Ring in A New Decade

The imminent arrival of the 2020s may have you wanting to head to somewhere completely different to celebrate the dawn of a new decade.
Whether you opt to join the rave-like street party of Berlin, or you choose to sit back and watch monumental firework displays whilst being thousands of kilometers from anywhere else, it’s up to you to decide where to mark this special occasion.

One thing is for sure though, you’re spoilt for choice

Recently have you taken a vacation or are you fed up of the boring everyday schedule? If you consider the job culture in today’s corporate world, people are investing long hours at work and constantly running after money.
