The Party: WEEKEND

Look up – way up – and you may see partygoers on the dance floor of Weekend. Tourists and locals alike flock to the three-level downtown club for dancing and pulsing house and techno. You'll want to hit the 12th and 15th floors of the Haus Des Reisens building for a sweaty good time. Once you're ready for a breather, hit the rooftop terrace for a rare panoramic view of the low-lying city. We hear it's most intoxicating at sunrise. Alexanderplatz 5, 10178, Berlin; 49(30) 2463 1676. www.week-end-berlin.de
