From taking a sunset stroll around the iconic Brandenburg Gate to enjoying a panoramic dinner at Berlin TV Tower, these are the must-try nightlife activities you have to experience.
Here’s your essential guide to the best things to do when the sun goes down in Berlin.
Queue up at Berghain
You’ve definitely heard of Berlin’s most famous (and most exclusive) club. Berghain has earned itself a reputation within the city’s nightlife scene for its strict entry policy and the fabled stories that take place behind its closed doors.
While the exact formula for getting let into Berghain remains a mystery, many claim that the long queue and sparks of anticipation are well worth it if you’re lucky enough to get selected.
So put on something black (and cool, apparently) and get ready to stand in line. You’re possibly in for one of the most memorable nights of your life. And if you get turned away at the door, at least you can say that you’ve tried.
Enjoy a panoramic dinner at Berlin TV Tower
Have you ever had dinner in a rotating restaurant? This is your chance to find a fun thing to do while getting a delicious meal.

Anyone and everyone – from locals to tourists – consider this a go-to hotspot for Berlin and frequent it accordingly.
