Can a tourist experience Berlin's iconic club culture even if you're, I don't know, married, mid thirties, maybe not that into clubbing? I wanted to at least try no I could learn more about this important side of Germany's capital. And yes, that included an attempt at Berghain, perhaps the most famous nightclub in the world. Here's what happened. I started my trip with a fantastic tour by sex educator and social scientist, Jeff Rank. He taught me about Berlin nightlife's LGBTQ roots and direct connection to history like the German good war. I left with crucial etiquette essentials for navigating clubs myself, like many clubs have a no phone or no photo policy, and rank that you put a sticker over your camera to protect the privacy of the people inside or that lines aren't necessarily to decide whether you're cool enough to get in, but whether you seem safe. You can look at the website resident advisor to find an event with music you actually like. Because if you don't no techno, you might have a terrible time at Berghain no better how good the sound system is or allegedly is. I wouldn't know. Around three.
