New Year’s Day 2010 in Rome, ideas and suggestions
There is an embarrassingly high choice in deciding what to do. You can attend to New Year’s Eve dinner in one of the trattorias in Trastevere or in an elegant and exclusive restaurant in central Rome. Even the most important hotel in the capital organize New Year’s Eve dinners and parties full of happiness and fun. Those who do not like to stay indoors can choose among the many historic squares of Rome, where many shows, concerts and entertainment take place for free. Usually the shows are very different, to suit both the audience who loves the nightlife and wants to dance in the square, and those who love to listen to the music of many famous names involved in these traditional festivities. There are a lot of opportunities to have fun; also a good bottle of Italian sparkling wine (spumante) is enough to toast with everybody enjoying yourself. New Year’s Eve in the Squares, especially at midnight has become a habit; many Romans are used to have dinner at home and to celebrate outdoors then becoming an integral part of the celebrating city. There is much to do also in Rome’s suburbs or in the countryside; this is a good option for those who wish something different than the joyful crowd of the city. Many houses and castles open to the public by organizing delicious dinners and lively parties, in which you can dance and have fun until dawn. To spend Christmas 2009 and New Year 2010 in Rome you must book early; as a matter of fact the city is traditionally filled with tourists and visitors who choose it as a theatre to celebrate the most important holidays of the year. However there are a lot of last minute offers, low cost flights and flight + hotel offers that allow you to reach Rome from any city or airport either Italian or European.
