Introduction
Let me introduce you the capital of Germany – Berlin, the place where night not only does not sleep but is awake in clubs with you! With this guide anyone from within Berlin or out of town will be able to have an idea of the recommended clubbing places in Berlin. Get set to party and learn the character that each club is bound to exude.
1. Berghain
Berghain is also nicknamed as techno temple. Setup in an old power plant, it features, among other things, a huge floor best suited for dancing and fantastic sound and lighting that are sure to pump up your adrenaline. Remember, it is pretty selective when it comes to allowing newcomers in, so dress to impress and be prepared to stand in line. But if you are lucky to be let in, you will be treated to the best of music and dancing.
Tips for Berghain:
Also, you have to get there early to help you get a chance of getting inside.
Do not bring or use your camera – photography is prohibited here.
Be ready to dance – the parties here may last for hours.
Find some water – the experience of dancing even if it is just with music can be very draining.
2. Watergate
This club which I would like to recommend is still located by the waterside and just like the name suggests, Watergate pies the walls by the water and has an amazing view. Located at the heart of Neukölln; this club overlooks the famous River Spree with beautiful views of Berlin skylines. Watergate occupies a basement with a great sounding, and offers a nice variety of music that can be heard by both locals and people who visit Berlin.
Tips for Watergate:
Get there early to save space on the dance floor, the place tends to pack.
These shows tend to happen about thrice in a week so plan before and look for a night with your favorite musical genre.
As for the place, Sanjay wouldn’t recommend you skip the terrace, it’s a great place to look at the view and take a break.
3. Sisyphos
The everlasting distinctive mark of Sisyphos has been its bohemian vibe. With an indie/pluralist bent for now, this club is set in a four-story former dog biscuit factory, and features indoor and outdoor dance platforms, chill-out zones, and art exhibitions. It is always open, thus you can dance all night and well into the morning, it is perfect for all night partying.
Tips for Sisyphos:
Get on board with the bohemian look – Sisyphos festival is all about arts and liberty.
Now, it is time to walk around the exterior: check the beach and try to find the additional stages.
This club has its interesting background, so to know it is possible to visit the Dogville museum inside.
4. Tresor
Tresor is a legendary club which has been supporting Berlin techno scene since beginning of 1990s. Situated in the cellar of Berlin the complex is built and has the appearance of a post industrial complex. The basement dance floor alone is legendary and, coupled with the world’s top DJs coming in to entertain you, you are in for a solid techno experience with Tresor.
Tips for Tresor:
You can view videos about the club history from the stands and historical items at the club located on the walls.
Visit all three dance floors – each of them is designed to create a certain mood.
Do not be frightened by the club’s exclusivity – everybody, who loves techno is welcomed at Tresor.
