The stunning landscapes of San Francisco make a wonderful backdrop for the new year's fireworks. Visitors can watch the magical midnight moment from a range of locations when they book San Francisco hotels for New Year's Eve.
The Embarcadero is one of the top spots in San Francisco to see the fabulous firework displays which shoot up over the Ferry Building. Head away from the building itself, towards Bay Bridge, and you'll get to see the fantastic displays reflected in the water too. Booking a table at a waterside restaurant such as Waterbar and quaffing champagne is a decadently fabulous way to watch the fireworks.
Head to Berkeley Marina and observe the fantastic vistas over the San Francisco and wider Bay Area as the impressive fireworks light up the night sky. Boat rides from the marina are also available for those who want to watch the action from the water with a drink in hand.
Located in Alameda, Crown Beach is a charming stretch of sand which offers great views over San Francisco and the Bay Bridge. Bring a picnic or a BBQ and snuggle down for the main event, or book a ticket on the USS Hornet and witness the spectacle from atop the decks of this historic vessel.
