New Years in Prague is definitely on my list of most unforgettable moments! I would recommend going there at least once to experience it. While I've never been to Times Square for New Years, I imagine it to be too crowded with strangers, never a good enough view of the performers, and too cold to stand in one spot for an endless amount hours. But in Prague, fireworks are set off in the center of the city from 10 pm to 2 am nonstop, with people celebrating with food and drink in the streets with friends and lovers. There are of course many events and parties to go to, such as boat parties on the river, but my friends and I were glad that committing to no plan was better than having one. What was most memorable to us was just the pure shock factor of being literally in the fireworks; it was surreal and would have never have been allowed in the States. The city squares and streets were one big party and I felt so happy and lucky to have had some of my American friends there to bring in the New Year. While words and videos don't give the night justice, here are some clips that give a taste of the setting:
