Happy New Year Bavarian Style

Wherever New Year celebrations take place here, either in a hearty Bavarian style, with an exotic or very elegant touch; whether with a classical music concert, a light-hearted revue, dancing to hot rhythms or listening to booming techno beats – there is something for everyone. Of course, you can visit friends and enjoy a traditional “Feuerzangenbowle” (fire-tongs punch), fondue or watch Dinner for One. And for those who would rather enjoy a night out, here are a few suggestions...
