The metropolis of Berlin is a party capital and is characterised above all by one thing: its great diversity. It is a real melting pot of cultures, full of contrasts and deeply attractive. The gay scene in Berlin includes more than 100 establishments, mainly spread over four areas: Schöneberg, Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain. All are in the town centre and are easily accessible by various methods of public transport.
