New Years in Munich?

Question

My husband and I are planning a New Years holiday in Munich and i was just wondering if there are any celebrations/festivals at this time. I was also wondering if many of the people speak English?

Answer 1

Yes, there are. Click this link to the Munich homepage for a list of event:

One is called Die Hot Rhythm Tollwood-Silvesterparty:

And yes, even though the links are German, many Germans speak English!!

Answer 2

There will be plenty of parties. Generally you have  to reserve in advance.

The Tollwood festival is always great and you don't have to make reservations. There will be several live bands and all kinds of food stalls and a gift market.

Find out at the tourist information what parties are up or come here and find out (at least 2-3 days before).
