Rio de Janeiro New Year s Eve

The New Year is greeted by a spectacular fireworks display with the 36 floor Méridien Copacabana turning itself into a gigantic Roman Candle. After midnight the city goes back to partying and the year’s first samba strikes up. New Year parties are held in the road, in oceanfront apartments, in all the beachfront hotels and on boats off Copacabana. By dawn many of the partygoers will still be on the beach to see the sun rise before going home or on to one of the hotels for breakfast.
