The scene

Tresor, one of the founding clubs of Berlin techno, still pulls dancers into its tunnel floor. Around it, Mitte offers a polished mix of cocktail bars, hidden speakeasies and lounges, with the occasional club night thrown in. It’s a more central, dressed-up flavor of the city’s nightlife, easy to combine with a day of sightseeing.

Perfectly placed

From Mitte you can walk to the Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island by day and be a short ride from the eastern club districts by night - the best of both worlds.
