With opera, ballet, plays and concerts, the Royal Danish Theatre is world-renowned for its beautiful setting and the talent it presents. A performance --usually a concert--is typically planned for New Year's Eve. The stages are both elegant and modern, and there's always the chance you might spot a member of the Danish Royal Family in the crowd.

Many restaurants remain open on New Year's Eve, including Harbour. A relatively new construction (built in 2006), you'll dine while looking out over Copenhagen's waterfront. A New Year's "feast" is traditionally planned, and dishes can include everything from foie gras to lobster and cod terrine. Sparkling wine and cake are served at midnight.

To enjoy a more popular tradition with your significant other, join the thousands of others in the lawn of Amelienborg, the winter residence of the monarch of Denmark. It is the Danish equivalent of Times Square in New York--you'll bring in the new year with a boisterous crowd and fireworks.
