On New Year’s Eve, Italy turns into a fairy-tale kingdom with a scent of marzipan, decorative lights, and a sense of magic all around. A festive atmosphere can be felt throughout the country. New Year celebrations in small towns is almost as much fun as in Rome, Venice, or Naples.

So it’s little wonder that this year Como has been ranked among the best cities to celebrate the New Year. Every year it holds the large-scale festival of Christmas lights, as well as fascinating landscapes of the mountains and the lake reflecting New Year’s lights illuminations will make you believe in miracles.

Every year thousands of people come to Como to look at the Magical Light Festival. The light show is organised in the historic part of the city. The main square also hosts the Christmas Fair and the ice rink. Restaurants and hotels in Como exquisitely decorated for the holidays will make your winter vacation truly unforgettable.

Ferrara, Siena, Orvieto, and Amalfi will celebrate the New Year no less grandiosely. These cities, like Como, have been included in the list of the best places to celebrate the New Year in Italy.
