If dreams of swirling on a dance floor in the manner of Cinderella - or Prince Charming - take your fancy, then consider renting a car and travelling to Vienna this new year.
Taking place on December 31st this year is the annual Kaiserball, or Imperial Ball, at the Hofburg Congress Center in Vienna.
"Celebrate the beginning of the year 2008 in the state apartments of the ancient imperial winter residence and enjoy classical elegance and Viennese charm," the ball organisers invite.
Prepare to eat a sumptuous four-course menu served by well-dressed waiting staff in a room decked out in splendour.
Cocktails are also served in the entrance hall in Austrian tradition. Then the rest of the evening is spent dancing to music like the Blue Danube Waltz.
