Step into Berghain, the converted power plant that anchors Berlin's techno pilgrimage. Brave the unpredictable door, then lose track of time dancing to marathon sets on that legendary sound system.

Reasons to go

  • Housed in a former East German power station whose industrial architecture is as famous as the club itself
  • Known for a notoriously unpredictable door policy that has become part of the ritual for regulars
  • No photography is allowed inside, preserving the club's private, off-the-record atmosphere
📖

Full description

Berghain, together with its upstairs Panorama Bar, is arguably the most famous techno club in the world, occupying a former power station whose raw industrial architecture has become as iconic as the music played inside. Its formidable sound system and reputation for open-ended, marathon dancing have made it a genuine pilgrimage site for electronic music fans, reflected here in the highest must-see score in this set.

The notoriously unpredictable door policy is a fixture of the experience itself, with the queue considered part of the ritual by regulars. It remains the benchmark against which Berlin's other techno clubs are measured.

Reviews

Never got in, but man, I had a great time getting sent packing twice. I mean it. It was a real fun experience. And even if you don’t get in, you can at least say you tried! As a techno lover, it’s all apart of the adventure! I know what I “did wrong” and will fix that next time! I will get my Monday Morning sunrise in…
