Nightlife

You may have heard that Berlin is a city that never sleeps... But that's not to say you can't sleep as well as take part of the nightlife! Many Berliners will comfortably sleep in and head off to a club on Sunday morning, or even at lunchtime, and join the crowd leftover from the night before, dancing to the latest in techno, house and EDM. And if dance clubs aren't your thing, Berlin still has a lot to offer. We've listed a few special spots that should appeal to every taste and age group.

Why not get a 3-day museum pass and really enjoy all that Museumsinsel has to offer? If you are short on time, you can just walk around and enjoy all the beautiful buildings from outside. The reason why they call it an island is because the river Spree surrounds it. Its bridges and parks are impressive, as is the Berlin Cathedral just next door.
