Fireworks don’t just appear on Bonfire Night in the UK. In fact, the best firework displays happen throughout the year around the world. These huge bursts of colour are entertaining to many, but some shows are worth seeing more than others. If you’re interested in capturing some colourful explosions and blowing them up into your own fantastic canvas prints, check out these firework displays from around the world.

Burj Khalifa, Dubai
The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world standing at 828 metres. To celebrate its grand opening in January 2010 the venue held an incredible fireworks display, and due to the phenomenal response the hotel now hosts a spectacular display on New Year’s Eve every year. Watching fireworks shoot from the top of the building and falling all the way down is an incredible sight. Take a look for yourself - the Telegraph covered the event at the beginning of the year and you can see why it’s crowned one of the best displays.

London, England
Thousands attend the impressive firework display that is held near Big Ben, in London, on New Year’s Eve. The event organisers really go all out with fireworks coming off the London Eye acting like a huge ferris wheel. Last year they took it to the next level by creating the world’s first multi-sensory show with coloured fireworks matching clouds and flavoured confetti falling from the sky. We wonder what will be in store of attendees this year. You can take a look at last year’s show online.
