New Year's Eve city breaks – 2026

New Year's Eve is one of the most expensive nights of the year to travel, but it doesn't have to be. Flights on 30 or 31 December and returns on 1 January are often cheaper than the days around them, because most people want to arrive earlier and leave later.

The fares below depart between 26 and 31 December and return by 5 January. They come from recent Aviasales searches and refresh every four hours.

Return fares for 1 adult in EUR, found in recent Aviasales searches (via Travelpayouts); fares older than 3 days are hidden. Fares checked 2 Nov, 05:00 CET. Prices change quickly; the final price is shown on the partner site.

Where to celebrate

Big public fireworks draw the crowds in London, Berlin, Paris and Barcelona, and Lisbon, Madrid and Rome combine a party with mild weather. If you'd rather avoid huge crowds, a smaller city with a good old town is often more relaxed and cheaper.

London's riverside fireworks need a ticket, which sells out well in advance; check the official page before you plan around them.
