What's the best place to visit here as a single male in his early - mid 20s for a 2 week vacation? Ideally meeting lots of people and being able to say it improved my perspective on life?

Why not keep on the move? Stay in a place 2 or 3 days, take train to the next one, repeat. Stay in hostels to meet new people.
Amsterdam to meet other people and someplace else to see things besides Amsterdam.
Berlin and go to techno clubs. There is no other answer.
This or budapest. Both allow for the unhinged 24/7 partying and degeneracy
which ones? can i still get laid if im not a chad
Yeah you can still get laid, there are lots of gays at them. Anyway, most people would tell you berghain. I went once and while the music was amazing, the girls were hot and semi or fully naked, etc. The people all "knew" they were cool, so the crowd wasn't that great. It's also a 4 hour wait in line and they reject like 85% of the people who try to get in, so you're risking your entire night on it.
My favorite club is sisyphos. 6 dance floors playing different styles of techno, great chill out areas, a cafe, restaurant, even a massage place...you can spend the entire weekend in there without leaving and the party will stay good the whole time. Great, friendly crowd (they're a little selective at the door, but not terrible. If you bring a girl, you're in almost 100%)
Griessmuhle is like pretty basic but always good music, have met lots of people there
Salon zur wilden Renate is touristy garbage, although the decor is cool. But come on, they play salsa and shit and I really don't think Germans even go there
://about blank I think is more gay oriented on a lot of nights but it's still a great party and great music. Club is kind of basic though
Those are the best ones probably. They all have different tricks to get in the door and I can help you with them if you want (stuff you won't find on Google)
>Those are the best ones probably. They all have different tricks to get in the door and I can help you with them if you want
please elaborate
Well basically, it's not a club culture like other places in the world. If you dress flashy like in a collared Armani shirt, nice watch, etc. you won't get in. These are the types they really want to prevent from coming. You want to:
>dress plain (Berghain is especially strict about this)
usually I just wear a plain black t shirt and black jeans, with whatever shoes. No hat, obvious tourist shit, etc. And make sure to wear some type of sneakers that look like you're going to dance in them, but that's mostly an issue with girls, who'll try to wear high heels and shit but don't wear flip flops or whatever the frick.
>Don't be fat, ugly, or any color other than white (unless you are REALLY hip)
>Be quiet in line
you can smile and acknowledge people, but don't be talking and laughing and shit. Maybe shift around to the best of the music like you want to go dance already. No phones in line, and they will all put a sticker over your cameras, which you should never remove
>If you want drugs, buy them inside
They have dealers basically working for the club that they let in but otherwise they'll search you decently thoroughly and at least confiscate them if not kick you out
>Either go alone or bring just one other person
This is a big one, they don't want big cliquey groups generally because it prevents people from mixing and makes the party less fluid. Don't bring the whole dorm room and expect to get in most places
>DO be fricked up
If you come high, you have a good chance of getting in, but you still need to be able to answer their questions, etc
>Know who's DJing
Sometimes they throw you a curveball and ask if you know. Griessmuhle does this a lot
>Answer everything you can in German
Know your numbers in German up to two (the maximum number of people you should be), please, thank you, etc. If they say something you don't understand, apologize (in German if you can) and ask them if they could please repeat it in English
Cont'd
thanks for the info
Are you German? I've heard foreigners and/or tourists get turned away
didn't know non-whites would have such a hard time, especially since it's b*rlin
the camera thing is weird, why?
Nah I'm American. The camera thing is because they don't want jerkoffs taking selfies and shit in the club. Ruins the vibe, makes everyone around self conscious, and often there are naked people, etc. Who lead professional lives during the week. It's just about freedom. No one feels free when they're being recorded.
oh nice, did you live there or just visit? I'm also an American but I live in Germany
I just visit there and spend at least two weeks every time I'm in Europe. I've been to like 75 countries or something and Berlin is my favorite place in the world. I am legit jealous of you if you decide to go there and I get jealous whenever I hear about someone going. Talking about this shit is making me want to drop everything and go with you. I hope you have the time of your life, dude.
thanks lad hope you make it back soon
i live in hamburg but a lot of my friends are moving to berlin so i'll probably visit this summer
I take it that I can’t be rocking full denim?
Might be cool if it's all black and you can pull it off. No idea, it's your style man.
I’m debating whether to stop in Amsterdam or Berlin before my trip to Vietnam. I was planning on just bringing one backpack with jeans, white t shirt, Breton tee, and a denim and suede jacket. I dress very Americana. I feel that’s the opposite of what’s “cool” there. I feel that their fashion senses are outdated; I’d like to get into a club and have fun though.
Bro, spend 50 bucks and get a black t shirt and black jeans to potentially have one of the most fun weekends of your life haha. All black never goes out of style
All black is pretty incelcore in America. They wear like techwear shit at techno clubs from what I’ve seen.
Lol true sad how far they’ve fallen
>Techwear
No they don't. I told you I go to techno every weekend in the US. I also get laid wearing all black all the time, but I'm a chad
Berlin isn't the US
Can you wear hats?
this might be the most german thing possible.
uphold their stick up the ass image and repress their extreme degeneracy so they can let it out during the weekends
So basically, all of those are shit you can find on Google. The "extra" tips mostly apply specifically to berghain:
>you don't have to dress COMPLETELY in black
If you have a unique item that really suits you and fits your personality while looking cool, it will increase your chances despite being pink or whatever the frick, but this is a pro move so you have to be able to pull it off. I didn't risk it
>Bring sunglasses and leave them hanging out of your jeans pocket
Some wayfarer style ones or whatever. Makes it look like you plan to be partying until the daytime at least. Plus they'll come in handy because you will 100% be partying until the daytime
>Rent a bike that isn't visibly rented and ride up and lock it in the bike rack near the door
The bouncers can see this area from the door and it makes you look like you live in berlin, which they like
>Wear headphones and listen to techno in line
For whatever reason, they like this
>If you don't get in, don't try to get back in line, but DO go back tomorrow
They see thousands of people but somehow recognize faces. Don't make a scene if they reject you, just nod and say thank you and leave. If they see you coming back night after night, they'll know you're there to dance, not just to check a tripadvisor box, I would think
It's not a guarantee but you'll definitely increase your chances doing this shit. Going on Sunday is easiest, and if you can meet a local who goes a lot, try to go with them. Again, they recognize regulars. Some people will go on Friday, lick their stamps, and try to transfer them to their friends for Saturday, etc. Might work, never tried it. But anyway yeah, most of the clubs are just like bring a grill and you're in but berghain is more gay so they don't really care who you're with. If you look remotely like you belong there, you can get into the other ones though generally. Sometimes they legit are just full though
Kek these people just sound autistic
Well they ARE German, bro. The people inside are fun though
Forgot to add, basically any club there is going to be some of the best techno in the world every night, so you really can't go wrong even if you don't get into your first choice club. I wasn't super into the music before I went but it changed my life and now I go to warehouse shit wherever I am in the world. The people that go to those parties are the friendliest and most welcoming crowd in the world. You'll absolutely make friends at them if you aren't a dick. You HAVE to dance though, so if you don't like that, you might struggle. The thing is, you are away from home and can be whoever you want. Plus everyone is dancing like an butthole on drugs so no one will judge you. If anything, if you look ridiculous they might offer you some free drugs hahaha. God I want to move there so bad. If any women in Berlin are lurking pls marry me. I'm hot and rich and I have a 9 inch dick and I'm fun
I am a German trans woman, let's discuss this over! My mail is alice.likesducks.1 at gmail.com
If it's not a larp, post a photo. I'm not going to frick you tho
actual OP here, so you think i should stay in berlin for the whole 2 weeks or just the weekends and travel elsewhere? or will i be too tired from partying during the weekend to do much?
>can i still get laid if im not a chad
how low will you go?
Memrise taught me how to say "The Technoclub". I didn't know that's why...
albania
>albania
why?
that could be fun, is it better to plan it out before hand, or do things impromptu?
He wants to rob you, that s why.
Don t come to Romania tho.
All the cool ppl you could meet don t speak but romanian.
And all ppl you coul... "meet"... are already in Amsterdam or some other degenerate hell hole.
Bordeaux was my favourite city from my 4week eurotrip
Malaga or Madrid.
Barcelona's dope but pricey and there is crime.
Malagas a good balance of everything, cheap, wide and a good hub to lots of other sights.
It's just a sunny desert with pockets of Spanish shit
Spain was fun the moment I was there
where is the most fun in italy? i was in rome for a few months, i liked it but it was more of a go to museums kind of place to me
You guys have any good clubs to check out in Barcelona? Im not into high-end stuff, techno place would be ideal but anything goes if its reasonably priced and not full of posh buttholes or british/american tourists.
Im thinking Netherlands, Germany, Greece, or Italy
Who's in Malaga right now? Let's hang
Can I party at raves in Germany if I am 37 and alone and balding.
>Early 20s
Ios in Greece
I’m going there in a week. What are the best clubs to go to?
