Good Deals in Europe: Berlin, my love

Guten tag!

Today I come back in order to speak about my favourite city: Berlin. I have been lucky to go in January 2016 and I was taken with this city.

I have discovered a dynamic, young and in reconstruction city. After dark hours Berlin shines with its open-mindedness, its joy of life and its overjoyed energy. Berlin surprised me by its beauty, its history, its inhabitants but especially with its crazy nights. Indeed, Berlin is internationally renowned for its mythical clubs such as Berghain, Tresor or Watergate (three of my favourite clubs in Berlin). It’s an inescapable stage for every techno fans. Moreover, we cannot pretend to know Berlin without discover the essence of this city. That’s why I am going to present my four favourite clubs in Berlin and finish with a small top 10 of things to see in Berlin. (despite our love for techno music it’s important to visit a little bit ;) ).

Berghain – Panorama Bar

I don’t know where to begin! This club is the most mythical in Berlin…. Its line-up, its resident artists and its atmosphere made its international renowned. Go inside Berghain, it’s discover an atmosphere never seen until now in other clubs. Indeed, inside you will discover immense spaces just a little bit lighted, jerky by stroboscopes and filled of smokes. I have just one advice, com in only if you are open-minded. J

Moreover, Berghain doesn’t have hours. Indeed, Berghain opens at midnight and stay open until the afternoon (when it is not open nonstop). You can arrive at 3am as 3pm, there always will be some party-animals enjoying sound.

Its dark sides, the queue beside club and demanding bouncers, without real selection criterions.

If you pass in Berlin, try you luck at Berghain. If you cross its doors, be sure to live an outstanding experience.

Trésor

The Trésor is also mythical as its counterpart the Berghain. Its place, an old electric factory, has allowed to be one of the best clubs in Berlin. But it is especially for its history that the Trésor acquired its reputation. Indeed, it is the club which launch techno in Berlin.

The entry in this club is rather easy, staff is nice and the quality of sound is amazing. It is not a club where we go to show itself, here we meet amateurs of techno. The decoration inside is a little bit seedy but it is what makes of its charm.

As the Berghain, Trésor is an unavoidable and will allow you to live a real experience.

Le “Chalet”

It is a small intimate club which I had the opportunity to discover accidentally during my trip in Berlin. The Chalet is a real Berlin underground club with all the features. Indeed, inside you can do what you want in quite coolness. Here key words are: drug, sex and techno ;) ! It is an inevitable stage in Berlin for its music and its authenticity

Watergate

Watergate is one of the leading light clubs of the moment in Berlin. It is not always simple to go inside and the queue can be long. Don’t arrive at 10 people and anticipate a long waiting time. If you enter, you will not be disappointed. The club is on two floors, at the edge of the Spree (river crossing Berlin) with big bay windows which allow you to see the sunrise. It is not an underground club as we find in Berlin. Inside you can find many tourists.

The dark sides are: the queue which can easily last more than one hour, a lot of people inside (toilets, bar and dancefloor) and it can be very hot on the dancefloor.

However, between two techno parties, take time to visit and see Berlin. Indeed, this city has plenty things to see as The Berlin Wall, Brandenburg Gate, TV Tower, etc. For the lazybones I give you my Top 10 of the things to see in Berlin. Je les ai triés en fonction de leur importance et de mes préférences. I have created my top 10 according to the importance and my preferences.
