There’s magic in Vienna on New Year’s Eve. It’s not just the twinkling lights, the bustling holiday markets, or the excitement of a new 365 days to look forward to—it’s the music that spills out in the streets on the last day of the year. Vienna is known as the capital of classical music, and during New Year’s Eve, the streets are filled with the sounds of Silvesterpfad, one of the largest New Year's Eve celebrations in Europe. People dance in the streets holding glasses of champagne alongside their friends and partners. Just before midnight, soft snowflakes fell and kissed our faces—I didn't want the magic I was feeling to come to an end.
