2000 Arrives... Rome, Paris, Madrid, Berlin

Looking back to what seems like a simpler time - now incredibly 10 years in our past already.

Highlighting the celebrations that took place December 31, 1999 leading up to the arrival of the new millennium. Here we watch the last moments of the 20th century, observed in the cities of Paris, Rome, Madrid, and Berlin.

There was such optimism everywhere that night. Some things since then may have disappointed us, but as another decade arrives now, maybe we need some of that again...
Have hope - the 21st century is still young. *** All material is owned by original producers & talent; I claim no rights for profit -- just an admiration for all of the hard work that went into the programming they shared with the world on that historic day. ***

The manufacturers who designed Paris' fireworks in 2000 were genius people. They managed to make the Eiffel Tower looked like it was a rocket taking off. Spectacular !

Paris is so beautiful! I'm definitely going back soon. :)

@DarkArchon87 But now, it's kinda the opposite. They don't even have fireworks in Paris anymore at New Year...

[Sidow75000]

Bonne Année les gens ! Im Parisian and unfortunately, since 3 years, there is no firework anymore in Paris because of delinquency and of course because it costs too much. BUT, the best and only firework of the year now in Paris is in front of the Eiffel Tower (like in the video), and it is for Bastille Day , on July 14th =) MUST SEE ! (sorry for my english) ! =)

[DarkArchon87]

Damn new years in Paris makes time square look boring.
