The transition to 2022 was celebrated around the world in a festive atmosphere. From New York to Rio via Madrid and Dubai, postcard of the most beautiful New Years Eve.

All over the world, the New Year’s tradition has been observed, Friday December 31st. The sky lit up in London (United Kingdom). The Big Ben, still under renovation, sounded at midnight, after four years of silence. Thousands of people gathered on the banks of the Thames, overflown by impressive drone ballets. In Madrid (Spain), the party was in full swing on Puerta del Sol, invaded by 7,000 revelers. “We must never stop being happy, partying“, says a woman.

In New York (United States), only 15,000 people, vaccinated and masked, were able to kiss, dance and celebrate the New Year in Times Square, which went up in flames at midnight. The Brazilians of Rio de Janeiro spent the New Year with their feet in the water, on Copacabana beach. Finally, in Dubai, make way for excess. 2022 is inscribed in letters of light on the tallest tower in the world, 828 meters high.
