Nights out

Berlin's nightlife is second to none, offering everything from infamous clubs, dimly-lit cafés and even opportunities to enjoy a night as a prim and proper opera goer. Specifically, the districts of Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg and Neukölln are saturated with scenesters and any space is likely to become a venue for young Berlin to dance the night away. Berghain, Watergate, Suicide Circus or Tresor are just some of many.
