Berlin for club nights

Here, it’s not the weather that counts, but the atmosphere and the music. Berlin is famous for its unforgettable and eventful New Year’s Eve parties. The city is transformed into a giant party zone.

Berlin is also known for its electronic scene, considered the techno capital of the world, and its alternative culture attracts many clubbers every year.

The city is well-suited to clubbing, with public transport running all night on weekends, so you can get from club to club with relative ease. Most of the clubs are located in eastern Berlin.

One good thing about Berlin is that, unlike other capitals, the price of admission is affordable. You should also be aware that selection for entry to some parties can be strict. But this is also what makes Berlin clubs so famous. These clubs are places where creativity is expressed, and where respect for each other is encouraged: they are “safe places”.

You can’t go to Budapest without visiting the Turkish baths. There are over a thousand natural hot springs in Hungary. Budapest’s thermal baths are an integral part of Hungarian tradition and culture, known not only for their medicinal and relaxing properties, but also as a place of conviviality open both summer and winter.
