Activity itinerary

Nuova Mirabella

The Evolution of Berlin’s Kinky Culture: Your journey begins with an introduction to Berlin’s reputation as the world’s kink capital. From the extravagant cabarets and underground fetish salons of the Roaring Twenties to the suppression of sexual freedom under the Nazi regime, discover how Berlin’s hedonistic spirit survived and thrived. During the Cold War, the divided city gave rise to secret BDSM and sex-positive communities, which exploded after the fall of the Berlin Wall, shaping today’s legendary scene.

Berghain

Berghain & Lab.Oratory – The Temple of Techno & Kink (not visited inside): While having a drink at a local restaurant, learn everything you’ve always wanted to know about Berlin’s most famous clubs. You’ll get an in-depth insider guide to Berghain—how it really works, what matters at the door, how to read the queue, and what helps (and hurts) your chances of getting in. We’ll separate myths from reality and share local tips that can save you hours of waiting and frustration. You’ll also discover the world of Lab.Oratory, one of the most notorious gay fetish clubs, and why even celebrities like Elon Musk didn’t get into Berghain. By the end, you’ll feel far more confident about exploring these legendary spaces yourself.

KitKatClub

KitKatClub – The Playground of Hedonists (not visited inside): Continuing our drinks, get an insider’s guide to one of Berlin’s most famous and misunderstood clubs. You’ll learn how the KitKatClub grew out of the city’s cabaret and underground scenes, how different party nights work, and what really matters when it comes to dress codes and door expectations. We’ll talk openly about consent culture, atmosphere, and social rules—so you know what to expect, what might surprise you, and how to feel comfortable and confident if you decide to visit yourself.
