Is it that time of year again? The year is coming to an end - but don't worry! We'll help you out so that you can slide into the New Year just the way you want! Cologne offers you a very extensive New Year's Eve program. Whether you like it quiet and cozy or are in an exuberant party mood, you'll never be bored. A must on New Year's Eve is of course the spectacular fireworks display. The best way to watch and enjoy the light spectacle with your loved ones is right on the banks of the Rhine - simply a classic. The best spots are on the Deutzer Ufer, where you have a breathtaking view of the fireworks with the cathedral in the background, or on the Hohenzollern Bridge. Pack a bottle of sparkling wine and toast the New Year with thousands of people - goosebumps guaranteed! Afterwards, you can party into the early hours at a New Year's Eve party and get the year off to a great start. Cologne is known for its exuberant party scene, and New Year's Eve is no exception. The New Year's Eve parties at Yuca and CBE are always promising and will really get you in the mood for 2025. You can also rave the year away at Artheater or fi, especially if you're a techno mouse. Another party hit is a Rhine cruise - party on the water! Celebrate on the festively decorated party ships with a view of the cathedral, including a buffet and fireworks. Not the party type? No problem! There are also plenty of options for a chilled out start to the new year. The Wasserturm Hotel Cologne, for example, offers a traditional New Year's dinner with fondue and fireworks. Another tip for a quiet but sociable evening is the New Year's Eve Supper Club in Ehrenfeld. Many other restaurants in Cologne also offer festive New Year's Eve menus where you can indulge in culinary delights. Afterwards, take a stroll through the Old Town - perfect for a relaxed New Year's Eve. Your New Year's Eve, your choice!
