Berlin, Germany

Late-opening corner shops selling beer to drink on the pavement outside, which is entirely legal here.
Glühwein, roasted almonds and wooden stalls across dozens of squares through Advent.
Berlin's clubs run from Saturday night deep into Monday. Door policy is selective and photography is generally banned inside.
