Many cities around the world are famous for their impressive seasonal or year-round light shows.  With it now being easier than ever to be able to capture the wonder of these events on cell phones and mobile devices, these types of events are becoming an increasingly popular part of any vacation.  The advancement of lighting technology has also added an extra dimension to light shows, as complex displays and patterns are able to be remotely controlled and set to music to create truly awesome light shows.

The next time you find yourself off around the globe, check out some of the best light shows this planet has to offer. After all, they’re usually free to watch and always look great on camera!

Dubai

Home to the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, this spectacular light show takes place at the base of the said building and use the towering skyscraper as a backdrop. Visitors head on over to the Dubai Fountain for a show that takes place every 30 minutes in the evenings. The combination of choreographed water and light displays marvels the crowds and adds yet another reason to visit this amazing city.

Hong Kong

Hong Kong goes big for their light show! They use 40 buildings spread along Victoria Harbor to flash and dazzle the entire waterfront in a show that can be seen from anywhere nearby. As one might expect, the best views are from across the harbor, especially in one of the designated music spots. The whole show is set to music, and even if you can’t make it to one of the best spots in the harbor to listen along, there is a downloadable app that you can play as you watch a whole city come to life with one of the most amazing light shows in the world.

Singapore

Head down to the Gardens by The Bay for an incredible light show put on by the huge ‘trees’ there. These amazing artificial trees gather solar energy throughout the day and transform it into a twice-nightly light and music show in the evenings.  These incredible light transitions and imaginative displays are all set to popular music, transforming a night out in Singapore into something truly magical.

Talking of Singapore, no piece on spectacular light shows would be complete without mentioning the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Three towers connected at the top by a huge infinity pool come to life of an evening in an amazing display of lasers and lighting that transforms the buildings and nearby waters into a multi-colored feast for the eyes.

Las Vegas

To go to Vegas and miss the Fountain Show at the Bellagio would be an absolute crime! Running throughout the evening, usually every fifteen minutes, the one-song length display of lights and water leaves visitors in awe as jets of water are blasted in perfect synchronicity 500 feet into the air and ‘caught’ by the jets next to them.  All of this is accompanied by a spectacular display of lighting that showcases the finest Sin City has to offer, and all in the middle of the desert!
