Berlin in August

Post by (NYXX) »

Hey hey so my friend and I have been saving our pennies to make a trip to berlin in august for atonal and to just explore the city - Couldn't be more excited to leave california and listen to some quality music (only scene is 2 hours away and it happens once every blue moon haha) it will be our first time in berlin, so any tips or places we should go to. We will be there for two weeks.

thanks a bunch guys!

Nah, skip that. Lots of cunts there lately plus i don't know if this club is still existing in August. Plenty of new and cool clubs opened. Hook me up in august when you need some help.

Hahah i'll probably stay away from there if its loaded with cunts. But thanks man i'll hit you up in august! So do new clubs open up every year there or every couple years?

Another question for anyone what is the best way to get around berlin - public transportation, cabs, bikes, walking?

Well Stattbad is cool and has some great line ups. But as I said mid august its so hot you want to be outside not in a hot basement... personally I'd rather just hang out at a lake all day....

This group lists a lot of the open airs during the summer... https://www.facebook.com/openairsberlin

Stattbad, Arena, About Blank are all cool.
Tresor is great if you get a good DJ there. Berghain the same, but do not revolve your holiday around Berghain.

Check RA closer to the date there is shit every night really. August is a nice month too. Parks n lakes and nice weather!

As for tourist, i think the week-ticket is a good deal. You can take any bus, underground train plus S-Bahn and tram. The public transport system is very good in Berlin.

Yeah I definitely want to try to get into berghain, but we shall see how that goes haha I will definitely be checking out those places and RA for sure! Glad to hear the weather should be nice when we get there, i've read somewhere its not technically "illegal" to drink in public (say at a park) is that true because I definitely wouldnt mind having a lunch in the park accompanied with a cold beer.

All we do in summer is drink in the parks... its technically legal.

Weekly Ubahn ticket for the win. Check that FB group I posted after april it will start to have daily announcements.

As for Berghain shouldn't be problem, just say your Felix da Housecat.

You're about to visit alcohol-land. It's allowed to get hammered as fuck in public. I do that since i'm 15.... :lol:

Well, 'til 15g you won't get arrested. Everything over 15g is not seen as "consume only". The cops will take your dope (to smoke it at the department, i guess) and you can go your way.
