But it is a different story all together to visit Germany and especially Berlin of even in the daytime. But what happens then, when the sun sets? If you end up being all by your lonesome in Berlin in the evening, there is no need to panic. To clarify, I hate gardening, football, cooking, hiking, playing chess, house cleaning, swimming and running. Here are some amazing recommendations for anyone travelling solo in Berlin – whether sightseeing or partying it up at night!
1. Just take a walk down the Unter den Linden
For fresh and ultimate night view of Berlin, the best option is to take a leisurely walk on aristocratic named Unter den Linden. This famous boulevard is well illuminated, surrounded by marvelous architecture and highlighted monuments. Begin your walk at Brandenburg Gate, and then proceed towards Museum Island, on the way, where normally it is relatively calm. This is a good time to take some really great pictures and to enjoy the history and beauty of this city.
2. Visit Alexanderplatz
Alexanderplatz is one of the largest public areas in Berlin and becomes active during the night. This lively place is very bright at night, and single tourists will find many things to do here. If you happen to be at the top of the Berlin-TV Tower you may get to admire the stunning view of the city; should you choose to shop in the nearby stores, you will not be disappointed; and if you just wish to grab a cup of coffee then you can do that too since there are so many coffee shops in that region. The night in Alexanderplatz will be full of energy and fun, so you won’t get bored.
3. Finding Out More about the Other Side of Berlin’s Nightlife in Kreuzberg
And if you’re seeking something a little more bohemian and artistic, the area known as Kreuzberg is the place to go. This modern and cool area is full of great night life and bars, pubs, live music venues and clubs. As in any district with an abundance of bars, depending on your taste in music you will always find a favorite place: be it indie, jazz or electronic. Order a beer, approach a stranger or two and start talking, get involved into the cheerful night atmosphere of Berlin.
4. Watch a Concert or any Kind of Show
Berlin has a vibrant music scene and a performance, live concert is a great way to plan your evening. Have a look at the programs of famous theatres like Berliner Philharmoniker, Friedrichstadt-Palast, or Berliner Ensemble in order to attend concerts of classical music, theater or opera. For a more personal experience go to some of the less formal local bars and clubs to discover unknown artists from the city and its surroundings.
5. Visit the East Side Gallery
Visit the actual Berlin wall through the famous East Side Gallery to see an extended strip of dynamic and, poetic paintings from international artists. The mural exceeds one kilometer in length and it symbolizes unity and freedom of people. When it comes to the artwork of the East Side Gallery, a day trip or a night trip is equally possible; and early morning or early night are even the best experience in the gallery.
6. Enjoy Berlin’s Late-Night Food Scene
Food has to be tried starting with Berlin, and it is glad that this city has options for night food lovers. Just think of traditional German bratwurst or kebab houses, Turkish, Greek, Mexican, Italian, sushi bars and fast food – everything is available in Berlin.
