Mornings or evenings: In Berlin you can celebrate for 24 hours a day. Many party-goers travel to the capital to spend the whole weekend going from one club to the next. A popular district is the one around the Spree River in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. The legendary techno club Berghain and the RAW compound there are particularly well-known.

Colorful logos flashing everywhere, music blaring from the clubs, exuberant people going from one bar to the next: the later the hour, the fuller it is on the Reeperbahn, the central street of the entertainment district of St. Pauli in Hamburg. Its most famous venues include the Golden Pudel Club, Molotow and Grosse Freiheit 36.

The busiest nightspots in the Bavarian capital are mostly located in the Glockenbachviertel district, Schwabing and the old town center. If you want a chic evening out, you can try your luck at P1.

The place to meet in Stuttgart is Theodor-Heuss-Straße - or "Theo" for short. Techno, house and hip hop are especially popular there at the weekends. Entrance to many clubs is free - the main prerequisite for bar hopping. The clubs Muttermilch, 7Grad and Barcode are not to be missed.
