Cultural events at the turn of the year

If you don't fancy a New Year's Eve party, you can also enjoy the turn of the year in Munich in a very relaxed way: The Cuvilliés Theatre in the Residenz invites you to a New Year's Eve concert on 31 December 2024. There are three dates - one in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. There will also be special New Year's Eve concerts in the neighbouring Hofkapelle (Court Chapel) of the Residence. The chapel was once the wedding chapel of Ludwig I, and even Mozart himself sat at the piano here. On the same day, the Herkulessaal of the Residenz will host a festive New Year's Eve gala.

There will be two concerts on 31 December 2024 in the popular Isarphilharmonie in the Gasteig HP8 alternative venue: At 5 pm, the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra invites you to a New Year's Eve concertwhere you can ring in the new year with Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

The best vantage points for fireworks

There will probably be a ban on firecrackers within the Mittlerer Ring in Munich in 2024as well. Despite the reduced fireworks in Munich's night sky, people will once again gather in many places throughout the city to celebrate and toast the New Year. These are the most popular:

At Schwanthalerhöhe, at the foot of the Bavaria, there is a sweeping view over Munich. The city skyline illuminated by the fireworks is best admired from Olympiaberg. The small effort to climb the mountain is guaranteed to be rewarded. Munich's romantic Münchner Kindl spend the turn of the year not in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, but in more secluded places, for example at the Monopteros in the English Garden. Also ideal for couples to swear eternal fidelity to each other for years to come!

A wonderful view of the night sky over Munich can be had from the Friedensengel. This meeting place has meanwhile gained cult status and has become a firm New Year's Eve tradition. You can also toast with a glass of champagne on the numerous bridges over the Isar. For example, on the Reichenbachbrücke, a place with a panoramic view of the Isar and the Deutsches Museum. The Hackerbrücke near Munich's main railway station does not cross the Isar, but it is also a nice place to enjoy. While the incoming trains make their tracers below, there is plenty of space side by side on the long bridge to marvel at the fireworks over the city.
