Welcome to Berlin Nights: A Solo Traveler’s Guide

by | Oct 22, 2024 | Original Berlin

Introduction

Travelling alone to a new city is very fun and maybe even empowering to some people. The capital of Germany – Berlin, will not leave any tourist indifferent as there are many entertaining options during the night. From entertainment and entertainment versatility, from leisure and food to sightseeing and events and attractions, you’ll find everything. Here are some great things Berlin has to offer for a single lady at night and this guide’ll show you how.

1. Read about the Brandenburg Gate

Your solitary travelling begins at Berlin, and you should begin with a visit to the Brandenburg gate. This monument symbolize the reunion of the East and the West Germany after the break down of the Berlin Wall. Bathed in artificial lights at night, Brandenburg Gate is an excellent photo shoot zone and a place of historical importance.

Tips:

Go to the Brandenburg Gate around the period of the sunset; you will get some great pictures with an amazing background.

It is recommended to take a guide for the grounds to get to know history of the site and look at the details of the architecture.

The Brandenburg Gate is also best photographed in golden hour when the sun sets behind the monument.

You could also consider a walking tour to gain a lot more understanding of the history of the building and its design features.

2. Walking on the East Side Gallery

Art lovers cannot afford to miss the East Side Gallery. This open-air gallery is actually the longest remaining piece of the Berlin Wall that became an excellent background for a little over a hundred street artists. Visit the East Side Gallery and saunter along the Berlin Wall having a look at the artwork that symbolises the history of the city and freedom.

Tips:

I recommend that you visit the East Side Gallery in the evening since light gives the colors and details of the work a better look.

Remember to take your camera for the best shots of murals you’d like in the area.

As much as photographing these works of art in the daylight may be appropriate, they best look fantastic at night when lit than in the day when they pale.

Remember also to pack your camera to photograph the best murals in town.

3. Berlin Nightlife: You better not party like there is no tomorrow

Berlin is well known for the active and various night life. This is true for any music lover be it techno, jazz or just the simple bar and grill joint kind of person. This makes it easy to spend time in places such as Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain or Mitte in search of clubs, bars and music joints. Enjoy the special atmosphere or even dance night away, or have a drink and watch the city coming alive.

Tips:

Visit residentadvisor.net to know more about events and club nights.

Avoid limiting yourself to standard settings – there could be some fantastic events which are to be held in unusual locations.

Try going for the out-of-the-way places – you never know what you will find out, but most importantly, remember that the ordinary places can be every bit as fun as the iconic ones.

4. Go and see TV Tower in Berlin

To get the best view of Berlin at night one must visit Berliner Fernsehturm or the TV Tower as it is sometimes called. Sitting in Alexanderplatz it offers views of the city from a bird’s eye view perspective. Experience the Sphere Restaurant where you can have your dinner while revolving 207 meters above the ground with a wonderful view of the city.

Tips:

Always confirm your tickets before hand so that you are sure you will not have to wait in long queue, this is more especially if you are visiting during the holidays.

It is advisable to visit the TV Tower shortly before the sunset to watch how the city lights come on.

If you would love to save your time, make sure that you purchase your tickets in advance during festive seasons.

It is wise to visit the TV Tower in the early evening so as to see when the city lights are turned on.

5. Relax at Tiergarten Park

To avoid crowds of the city, it is better to visit one of the most impressive parks in Berlin after dark – it is the Tiergarten Park. This extensive park is in the middle of Berlin and with several kilometres of paths, various lakes and relaxing areas there is much to discover and enjoy. Relax on the benches and take a walk, take a meal or just find a comfortable place to rest and watch the stars at night.

Tips:

If you plan to come for the night you might want to bring a blanket and a snack to have a picnic.

Pay attention to several sculptures and memorandum which are located in the park.

Take a blanket and food for you to spend some time eating during your night tour.

There are several sculptures and memorial structures placed all over the park that deserves a look.

Conclusion

The nightlife and bohemian sights and sounds of Berlin make it such a wonderful city to be a lone wolf at night. Starting with the Brandenburg gate, as a symbol of history up to artistic areas such as East Side gallery and much more. Therefore, do not fear to be alone during the trip and develop the passionate vision of solo tourism that will make you experience the wonderful nighttime of Berlin!
