Berlin Famous Attractions & Sightseeing

Berlin has one of the majority diverse and vibrant night life scenes in Europe. When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, many buildings in Mitte, the former city center of East Berlin, were modernized. Many had not been rebuilt since World War II. Illegally occupied via young people, they became a fertile ground for all sorts of underground and counter-culture gatherings. It is also home to many nightclubs, including Kunst Haus Tacheles, techno clubs Tresor, WMF, Ufo, E-Werk, the infamous Kitkatclub and Berghain. The Linientreu, near the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, has been well recognised since the 1990s for techno music.

SO36 in Kreuzberg originally focused largely on punk music but today has become a popular venue for dances and parties of all kinds.

The Karneval der Kulturen, a multi-ethnic street parade celebrated every Pentecost weekend, and the Christopher Street Daythat is Central Europe's largest gay-lesbian pride event and is celebrated the last weekend of June, are openly supported via the city's government. Berlin is also well recognised for the techno carnival Love Parade and the cultural festival Berliner Festspielethat include the jazz festival JazzFest Berlin.

Several technology and media art festivals and conferences are held in the city, including Transmediale and Chaos Communication Congress.
