Berlin, Germany travel guide

About this place

Berlin's clubs open on Friday and close on Monday, bouncers are philosopher-kings and daylight inside is considered a design flaw. Beyond the techno temples of Berghain and about-to-be-legendary warehouses, there are lakeside bars, smoky jazz kellers and spätis — corner shops where the street party self-organises. Sleep is available in other cities.
