About
Berlin's big New Year's Eve party turns the square in front of the Brandenburg Gate into an open-air dance floor, with DJ sets, drinks and snacks. This year's motto is "Yeah 27". It is a crowd at a famous landmark, so it suits older kids who are fine with loud music and a late night.
Where it is
Brandenburg Gate (Platz des 18. März)
Platz des 18. März, 10117 Berlin
