Berlin

If a city's mental health was determined by how many hours of the week its clubs weren't active, Berlin would be a lunatic in a straightjacket, repeatedly slamming its head against a padded wall. Berlin’s party scene is certainly not something for the faint-hearted. Don’t get me wrong, you can definitely find some clubs/bars here that are fairly PC and great for the more conservative party goer but if you really have a night out in Berlin then prepare to be shocked. Or, at the very least, quite surprised!

The best things to do after dinner in Berlin range from the cultural to the downright hedonistic, giving you plenty of options for a fun-filled evening. The city at daytime offers shopping up and down the Unter den Linden boulevard and glimpses of the great Reichstag building. There's an altogether different mix of things to do once it gets dark and you've dusted off the schnitzel or currywurst. You can find strange night-time spa facilities, arty streets that burst with galleries, and cavernous techno clubs for travelers who feel a little nocturnal adventure coming on in the German capital.

There are oodles of Berlin pub crawls that can help you uncover the iconic nightlife scene of this famously hedonistic capital. They meet at different places across town, but hostels and local bars are usually where you'll be gathering. Most packages include a whole night's entry to a handful of venues in hidden nightlife quarters like Simon-Dach Strasse and Friedrichshain. You can enjoy free drinks and even receive giveaways like T-shirts and other pub-crawl paraphernalia. Berlin pub crawls can get busy in the summer months but are a great way to meet and mingle with like-minded travelers.
