All information about the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card has been collected independently by 10xTravel.

Whether you’re looking to escape the weather or your relatives, celebrating the New Year in a different city can make for the trip of a lifetime. There are numerous cities around the world where New Year’s festivities offer not only a fantastic night to remember, but also a unique way to partake in different cultural experiences.

Unfortunately, New Year’s is one of the most expensive times of the year to hit the skies. Likewise, cash rates for hotel stays can easily break the bank during New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

However, by leveraging the welcome offers on a few travel rewards credit cards, you can ring in the new year in style without blowing your budget.

Here are some of the top destinations where you can spend New Year’s as well as how best to fly and stay there using points.

1. Sydney

A trip Down Under doesn’t just promise white-sand beaches, world-class scuba diving and endless opportunities for adventures in the Outback. It also guarantees that you’ll be among the first in the world to welcome the New Year’s arrival.

Sydney is famous for its stunning fireworks display held over its iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. You’ll be among the more than 1 million people to attend the event live and will enjoy a day-long series of New Year’s Eve events.

In the run-up to the big day, you can take advantage of the summer weather with a trip to the Great Barrier Reef or a few days spent on Australia’s pristine beaches.

Flight Options

Getting from the U.S. to Australia isn’t always wallet-friendly. However, there are a number of ways you can use points to get Down Under on the cheap.

Here’s a summary of some of the best ways you can travel to Australia on points:

• Air Canada Aeroplan. Aeroplan is a great program for booking United Polaris business-class award fares to Sydney (SYD). You can fly United business class for 87,500 miles each way from Los Angeles (LAX), Houston (IAH) and San Francisco (SFO) to Sydney.
• Atmos Rewards (formerly Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan). Alaska Airlines offers incredibly lucrative rates to Sydney on Oneworld partner-operated flights, such as with American Airlines. You can book economy award fares for 42,500 miles and business-class award fares for 85,000 miles round trip. You also can add a free stopover, allowing you to see an extra country, such as Fiji, for free.
• All Nippon Airways (ANA) Mileage Club. ANA Mileage Club offers lucrative award fares for both its partner-operated flights and its own flights. You can book Star Alliance partner flights, such as with United Airlines, for 75,000 miles in economy and 145,000 miles in business round trip to Sydney.

• American Airlines AAdvantage. You can book economy award flights from Los Angeles to Sydney and from Dallas (DFW) to Brisbane, Australia (BNE), for 35,000 miles each way with American Airlines.

You can then book a business award fare between Sydney and Nadi for 30,000 AAdvantage miles, enabling you to see two countries on your New Year’s trip.

The famed Times Square Ball Drop has been a tradition since 1907, drawing millions of visitors from across the globe to the heart of Manhattan every year. As the countdown begins, the atmosphere is electric—live musical performances, storms of confetti and shared anticipation create a buzzing moment of celebration worldwide.

The magic of New Year’s Eve extends beyond Times Square. Each of the city’s five boroughs hosts its own events, from fireworks in Central Park and Chinatown parades in the Bronx to cruises around New York Harbor with breathtaking views of the Statue of Liberty. Rooftop bars and lounges offer parties with skyline views and firework displays, while more low-key celebrations can be enjoyed in neighborhoods such as Brooklyn’s Williamsburg and Dumbo.

Known as Reveillon, Rio’s celebration attracts more than 5 million people to its world-famous Copacabana Beach, making it the largest New Year’s celebration in the world. Yet, despite the huge numbers of global visitors, what makes Rio’s New Year’s celebration particularly special is its intimate, communal atmosphere. You can dance to samba music from midnight to the early hours of the morning with strangers who’ll be your best friends come sunrise.

Add in amazing food, cultural richness and warm weather, and Rio might just be the No. 1 place to celebrate the New Year.

4. Edinburgh, Scotland

While most of Scotland’s major cities celebrate Hogmanay, Edinburgh’s last day of the year is one of the most spectacular New Year’s celebrations in the world. Scotland’s capital turns into a festival ground for three days of events where ancient Viking and Gaelic winter solstice celebrations take center stage.

The celebration kicks off with a dramatic torchlight procession through the city’s historic Old Town, culminating in a ceremonial bonfire and fireworks display. On New Year’s Eve, Princes Street becomes the epicenter of activity with live bands and thousands of people gathering for the massive street party. Midnight is marked by fireworks over Edinburgh Castle, accompanied by the communal singing of “Auld Lang Syne.”

In true Scottish style, Hogmanay is made particularly special by its range of quirky cultural traditions, such as the “Loony Dook,” where locals and visitors alike plunge into the icy waters of the River Forth on Jan. 1, often in costume.
