Berlin Nightlife Weekend
A Friday-to-Monday built around Berlin's clubs, not its museums: Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg at night, Neukölln rooftops at sunset, a noon Sunday beer garden.
- Mitte: The "heart" of Berlin has many historically important sights, abundant cafés, restaurants, museums, galleries, and clubs.
- East Central: Made up of historically diverse neighbourhoods, Kreuzberg was in the West but almost encircled by the wall. It drew leftists, cheapskates and malcontents, including a large squatter scene that frequently clashed with police, Friedrichshain likewise had squatters after reunification while "Prenzlberg" was a much more laid-back residential neighbourhood. Today all those areas are gentrifying, or already gentrified, but there are still numerous cafes, clubs, and bars.
- City West: This used to be the urban heart of West Berlin with Kurfürstendamm (Ku'damm) and Tauentzienstraße still major shopping areas. While the party has since moved east, there are great restaurants and hotels as well as the Olympic stadium and Schloss Charlottenburg.
- Tempelhof and Neukölln: The rapidly-gentrifying northern parts of Neukölln now seamlessly pass over into East Central, and Tempelhof is still known as the site of "the mother of all airports" (now a park).
