One of the hippest cities in the world, Berlin is full of clubs, discos, bars, pubs and venues offering live music. Tango and hot cabarets are also available alternatives for the evenings in this very diverse city.
If staying in western Berlin, conspicuous good timers will be at ease in Charlottenburg’s Savignyplatz; punks and political activists usually go for a drink in Kreuzberg while those up for all-nighters prefer the area around Nollendorfplatz. Nollendorfplatz is the choice for those over forty. A more diverse and mixed environment can be found in Central Schoneberg bars.
In eastern Berlin, Mitte and Friedrichshain are good choices. Nice cafes and pubs can also be found in Oranienburger Strasse and around Knaackstrasse, in Prenzlauer.
There is so much to do in Berlin that nightlife can be a bit hard to navigate. Which are the best spots? What should not be missed if you only have a few nights in Berlin?
