The transition moment between the old year and the new year 2026 will become brilliant with a high-altitude fireworks display at the F1 race track, Tu Liem ward.
To fully enjoy 15 brilliant minutes from 11:45 PM on December 31, 2025 to 0:00 AM on January 1, 2026, choosing a beautiful observation location is extremely necessary.
For people in the western area of Hanoi, the F1 racetrack is a convenient fireworks viewing spot thanks to its large space and more pleasant density than the central area.
Below are the most beautiful locations to observe New Year's Eve 2026 fireworks:
My Dinh National Stadium Square
Located on Le Duc Tho street, the square in front of the stadium is always a top priority choice. With a large open space, this is where you can fully admire the fireworks blooming in the sky of the nearby F1 racetrack. In particular, this area is airy, and the fireworks display is not obscured by trees or high-rise buildings.
Le Quang Dao road and pedestrian overpass
Le Quang Dao street is a street running along the campus of the F1 race track, so this is the closest approach to the shooting point. In which, the pedestrian overpass across Le Quang Dao street promises to be an attractive viewing spot for those who want to have a higher viewing angle. However, if you choose this location, you need to be present early to reserve seats because the bridge surface area is limited.
Hong Do street area and the back gate of the F1 racetrack
A more "easy-to-breathe" option to watch fireworks is Hong Do street area or the walkways at the back gate of the F1 racetrack. The density of viewers at these points is usually not too dense, helping you and your family to go home after New Year's Eve in a gentle way, avoiding prolonged traffic jams on the main roads.
High-rise buildings and luxury apartments
For residents living in neighboring buildings such as The Matrix One, My Dinh Pearl, The Emerald, The Manor area, or Golden Palace Me Tri, the balcony facing the F1 racetrack is the "VIP seat" to watch fireworks.
In addition, buildings with impressive heights such as Dolphin Plaza, Keangnam Landmark72, Vinhomes Skylake or Song Da building also have an ideal panoramic view to admire the fireworks display.
Sky Bar and rooftop restaurant
To enjoy fireworks in a luxurious and warm space, visitors can choose Sky Bars or rooftop restaurants of large hotels such as: Sheraton Hanoi West, InterContinental Landmark72, or Novotel Suites. Looking from a height of hundreds of meters, the New Year's Eve moment will become more magnificent when you can both sip drinks and admire the bright fireworks to your eyes.
Important notes when watching New Year's fireworks
To make the travel process more convenient, you should note that the roads leading to the fireworks display points such as Le Quang Dao and Le Duc Tho are expected to be very crowded. You can approach from Thang Long, Me Tri boulevards or Ho Tung Mau, Tran Huu Duc axes.
In particular, to avoid jostling and easily find a satisfactory parking spot, people should actively be present in the My Dinh area before 10 PM. Arranging time to go early not only helps you stabilize the most beautiful firework viewing location but also avoids traffic pressure during peak hours near New Year's Eve.
If you don't want to get stuck in the crowd after New Year's Eve, you should apply the principle "Parking far - Walking near". One of the most ideal parking coordinates is the Indoor Athletics Palace located on Tran Huu Duc street. The spacious parking lot is about 1km from the shooting point, you can easily get out to Trinh Van Bo or Xuan Phuong streets.
In addition, parking garages at buildings and commercial complexes such as The Manor or Golden Palace are also safe choices with stable prices. If you park at My Dinh National Stadium, you should prioritize locations near the gateway to Tan My street for convenient transportation as soon as the program ends.
