Due to the time difference, many matches are played in the evening, between 6 and 10 p.m., and some late into the night.
The Fan Mile at the Brandenburg Gate is the largest and most famous public viewing venue, with thousands of fans and a giant screen.
Not at large venues like the Fan Mile, but reservations are recommended at bars and smaller venues for major matches.
Bars like Belushi's, venues like BRLO, and alternative spots like the Baergarten at RSO are ideal for games starting at 10 p.m. or later.
