Berlin

There are more than a few reasons to head to Germany’s capital city for a raging summer jaunt you won’t soon forget. The “capital of cool” (its common moniker) is the stomping ground for the Love Parade every July, possibly the world’s biggest street party, and plays host to some million beer-lovers at the Berlin International Beer Festival in August, for those who just can't wait for Oktoberfest. Even if you miss these headline events, any summer night in Berlin holds endless opportunities for debauchery-laden fun – its mercurial nightlife scene is renowned for its underground clubs, beer gardens, and über-cool lounges.
