Things to Do

Whether you're looking for a beach getaway or city break, Berlin has something to offer every discerning traveller

Berghain/Panorama Bar

Widely referred to as the ‘church’ of techno, Berghain/Panorama Bar is a Mecca for electronic music lovers. Its huge industrial walls loom over hopeful club goers that stand in the enormous queue, awaiting the fate from the infamous door policy. If you get lucky and it’s a ‘ja’ rather than a ‘nein’ from the bouncers, you may well spend the entire weekend here – with the admission stamp on your hand often reminding you, ‘Don’t forget to go home’.

Watergate

Sophisticated and hella loud, Watergate is a two-floor club that sits right on the River Spree. Its enormous glass windows offer a panoramic view of the river, and when the dawn rolls around the curtains may often be drawn back to reveal daylight to entranced clubbers. The Watergate laser show packs a real punch – as does its events calendar.
