Some Of The Best Sights In Berlin
So, are you looking to go to Berlin for a long weekend but you aren’t really sure what the nightlife there is like? Read this guide to find out more about some of the best bars to visit for a fun atmosphere and to meet interesting people. Here you will find information about accommodation in Berlin, jazz in Berlin and the best places to watch live jazz bands and to experience jazz music in this buzzing capital city.
Perhaps first on the list is Quasimodo. Exciting and lively, this bar can be found on Kantstrasse 12A, Charlottenburg. If you take the U2, U9, S5, S7, S9 or S75 to the Zoologischer Garten. It is open Tue-Sun with live performances taking place at 10pm. Depending on the size of the act, admission can cost between €5-€25. A cool basement spot, this bar isn’t afraid to experiment with all types of acts, and for this, some critics would say it is diverging from jazz too much. However, this bar gets some brilliant acts incluing the legendary Terry Callier.
Also worth a visit is Tranenpalast at number 17 Reichstagsufer in Mitte. With being in one of the trendiest places in Berlin, this bar certainly deserves its place in this district. Performances begin at 6pm so you need to get here super early, and prices vary depending on when you go and who is playing. The bar is situated in a fantastic location – the building people had to go through when leaving East Berlin and you can see comedy performances and cabaret here. Not only this, Tranenpalast hosts jazz such as Pharoah Sanders, Don Byron and Nils Petter Movaer.
Finally, make sure you visit the Berlin Jazz Fest and the Total Music Meeting. These really give you a taste for the cultural centre of Berlin and with lots of accommodation Berlin available, your trip is bound to be a good one.
