Cologne


The name translates as Vault so it's quite apropos that you have to negotiate a maze of small rooms to arrive at the main floor at this underground club in Belgisches Viertel. Once there, join in as top DJs shower shiny happy people with house and techno streaming from an amazing sound system until the wee hours.
