4 Best Bars in Germany

This cultural center draws all ages with its music and dance club, theater, comedy, and cabaret. It's in the former Church of St. Paul.

There's not much that doesn't take place at this international variety theater. Guests are entertained by international cabaret performers and the Palast's own variety orchestra. There's an excellent restaurant, Tiger-Gourmet, featuring vegan and vegetarian dishes, and the cozy Palastbar, under the basement arches, looks like an American bar from the 1920s. Despite the pricey dinner show (from €175), tickets often sell out, so book as far in advance as possible. Tickets for show only start at €90. It's just one block from the Zeil pedestrian shopping area.

Tipi is a tent venue between the Kanzleramt (Chancellor's Office) and Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Artists featured are well suited for an international audience, and you can opt to dine here before the show. Even the back-row seats are good.

The Wintergarten Varieté pays romantic homage to the old days of Berlin's original variety theater in the 1920s.
