Nightlife in Berlin

Berlin’s clubbing scene is fiercely creative and fun. You can go wild for days in this liberal city thanks to relaxed opening hours, which means some clubs are pumping pretty much all the way through the weekend.

Parties range from glitzy rooftop affairs and friendly dive bars to clubs in abandoned factories and barren warehouses, with every musical niche covered somewhere in the city. The coolest clubs have lines around the block for big events, but there’s always an alternative in Berlin. Berghain is probably the best-known club in the city – the one with the famously picky door staff – but there’s a host of other packed dancefloors to discover. Be warned that you need to dress appropriately for the club you want to visit.
