Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: flip this switch on and Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- turn it off again any time, or reveal the real photo for just one place at a time from its own page.

Overview

Venice holds a free, public New Year's Eve celebration each year in St. Mark's Square, typically featuring a concert or DJ set that runs up to midnight, when fireworks are set off over the Bacino di San Marco, the basin in front of the square.

Like similar city-wide countdowns elsewhere, it draws large crowds into the square and along the waterfront for the fireworks; exact programming varies from year to year, and a ticketed concert area is sometimes organized separately from the free public viewing.
