My Berlin Club Tour offers a unique glimpse into Berlin's vibrant nightlife. While we primarily explore the exterior of renowned clubs like SchwuZ, SO36, Tresor, Kit Kat, Yaam, Kater Blau, Berghain, Lab.Oratory, Watergate, and others at RAW Gelände (including Suicide Circus, Crack Bellmer, Haubentaucher, Astra Kulturhaus, Cassiopeia, Badehaus, der weiße Hase), please note that only SchwuZ allows us interior access (and only as long as there's no event happening at the same time). Berlin nightclubs are highly valued sacred and safer spaces, and entry during daylight hours is rare. Be cautious of tours promising access to multiple venues; such claims often prove unattainable due to the clubs' strict entry policies.
No, my tours do not guarantee access to Berghain or any other club during the night. My tours are conducted during the day, outside of Berghain's operating hours. It's important to note that no tour can guarantee entry into Berghain (or any other club for that matter), and I advise caution around any tour, experience, or person making such claims. However, my tour provides you with a profound understanding of Berlin's club culture, the communities behind these spaces, their status as political and safer spaces, and the importance of respecting their sanctity. This knowledge enhances your chances of being welcomed into Berghain and other clubs, demonstrating your genuine understanding and appreciation of the culture.
