Leipzig

Berlin's little sibling has stopped being little: Leipzig's club scene — Institut fuer Zukunft, Distillery (the east's oldest techno club) — runs with Berghain-grade seriousness and none of the queue anxiety.

About this place

Between dance floors sit student dives in Connewitz and canal-side beer gardens in Plagwitz's converted cotton mills. Base yourself around Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse — 'KarLi' to everyone — where the bars simply keep going. Order a Gose, the local sour wheat beer; it makes considerably more sense at 2am.
