Travel web site Enjoy Travel (www.enjoytravel.com) in collaboration with Big 7 Travel has published the list of 25 best places in Europe to spend NYE. Sarajevo placed at 22nd place. Enjoy Travel writes:
Sarajevo is the epicenter of New Year’s Eve celebrations in the Balkans, with a huge annual concert taking place. Thousands flood into the city center for the show, with the city, puts on for several days before the sky comes alive with fireworks at midnight. If you don’t fancy waiting out in the cold, the Sarajevo National Theatre puts on a beautiful orchestra, or you can spend the evening at a luxurious gala dinner.
