I put together some info based on three visits to Artemis in the last year.
Artemis is in Berlin and quite far away from Holland, Belgium or France. But it's worth the trip. Especially as Berlin is a very nice city as well.
You can go there by car but I never did so. The parking lot of Artemis is quite big and I never saw many cars there. So, no problems there.
Another possibility to go to Berlin is by train. The journey sucks a bit. It is about 7 hours and that takes most of your day. Once I left really early and got there at 14 'o clock, including a delay of about 1 hour.
If you book the trip well in advance it might be as cheap as 39 euro for a one-way ticket. Westkreuz (S) is the S-bahn station close to Artemis.
Arriving by plane is more comfortable. If you are lucky and book well in advance the price might be as low as 70 euro but 100 euro for a return ticket is a more realistic option. Easyjet suits me best. When you book one month in advance prices usually are reasonable. Easyjet arrives at Schoenefeld airport. You can opt to spend all night in Artemis and then take a taxi back to the airport. A short and intensive experience. Haven't done that yet.
From the airport you walk with the crowd to the station and get a train there. There's lots of trains to get there. The RegionalZug to Berlin Hbf and beyond suits me best (two per hour). Tickets can be bought at various locations. Ticket machines in the airport are the least crowded. Then the tourist office (They only sell Berlin card for a few days). The ticket machines in the station usually are queued heavily. It's unlikely that your ticket will be checked on S- or U-bahn. On the Regionalzug it's very strange if they don't check it. You can of course get a taxi at the airport. Probably more expensive than public transport. I do not know Tegel airport as I have always used Easyjet and they fly to Schoenefeld.
The Regionalzug doesn't call at Westkreuz. So get a S5, S7 or S75 in Hbf for example. It's fun to walk around Hbf. Really big. Three flours of shops. Tourist info available as well as supermarkets and cheap restaurants. You can also leave your bags there for 5 euros. The luggage disposal is not easy to find. When you enter the station from the front door, it is after about 50 metes at the left side, on the top floor. It has a rather long somewhat narrow corredor showing the Bahn shield. All S-bahn trains from Berlin Hbf to Westkreuz leave at track 16.
When you arrive at Westkreuz simply look for the shields 'Halensee(strasse)'. It will take a few stairs. Once you're on the top floor you leave the station onto a parking lot. Simply leave the parking lot. Turn left and walk about 300 meters. You will cross the railway tracks (down below you) and then you must be able to see Artemis on the left side. Artemis has quite a large parking lot in the middle of a city. A Berlin bear at the doorstep invites you inside.
The theke is special. If you arrive early you think you arrived in a village. Don't be fooled. She is extremely efficient. All the girls have a small 'drawer' in the closet behind her. She can easily check the presence of any girl by these drawers. But she doesn't know whether a girl will arrive later. Only by eight 'o clock she will be able to tell you if a girl is still to come or not.
The robes are light brown. The washing is done with more fabric softener than in GT for example. Feels a lot nicer.
Entry fee is 80 euro. Quite a lot but your time can be very good. I will tell about that later.
After paying, take a few steps up. To your left and right there are the special lockers (Wertfächer) to put your valuables. There are about 800 Wertfächer and lockers!! Go right on and there is the showers, the toilet, the lockers, the towels and the slippers (each size has a different colour). The 'ladies only room' is to the left.
Toilets are OK but there's only few of them. Showers are standard quality. The lockers are efficent but grouped to tightly. If you have to leave and somebody else in your number range is leaving as well, you can only wait till he is finished. Always plenty of towels available. Almost always some people are cleaning.
After showering go inside the club. From the theke's place it's a few steps up and then to the right. You get in the central stairs. These are good for watching girls or waiting for them to come back from a room. But now we go straight on and enter the bar (automatic doors). The bar is the central place. As soon as you enter it girls will start conversation and they always want to go to a room. They do it quite nicely. It has never bothered me. In this room there is a central oval bar. A bit like Sharks if you're familiar with that. Around it are all kinds of sofa's and beds. Some beds have curtains (like a tipi). You can be 'alone with a girl' there but it I have not seen people doing that. Others can open the curtains, and they will do so!!! You cannot have sex there. You may try to do so but Artemis is quite strict. I wonder if any girl gives in to your wishes.
At the end of the bar there is a door leading to the restaurant. Food is OK. A bit less than GT. First time I was there, lunch was best. Girls can come and sit at your table and make some conversation. You can also join them if there are no free tables. Be friendly and start some conversation at least. You can also ask them to eat with you .... Comes at a price of course: you will raise expectations. But eating together is not uncommon. Even if you don't know the girl.
When you come from the bar, walk to the restaurant and then walk straight on, you will get to the terrace outside. Nice weather only. There's more tables and chairs there. There is a swimming pool, self service drinks and a sauna. There are about 10 more rooms. It's more or less a club in it's own right. Pool's not very big.
If you leave Berlin for Holland by train you can see this outside spot shortly. Use the safety break....
Let me show you the rest of Artemis. When the crowds and the music got the best of you and you want some rest, get to the stairs. Go downstairs and there you can find a fitness room. I only once saw one man using it. I read about reconstructing this part. I will check upon it next time. There's a Kino but well, go there yourself once. Not much sofa's, a lot of chairs. Rather big. Girls may ask you to go to the Kino together. You get some extra time with them but it's not very comfortable. After that they will tempt you in one of the two rooms near the Kino. It's OK but I prefer the rooms upstairs. These rooms might be good to avoid waiting times, though. You can of course use the Kino to 'seduce' a girl while being in a 'real cinema situation'. I'm not into that, but take your pick.
This floor also holds the wellness. From the stairs go left and you will see the pool first. Be careful. You cannot play or swim very much here. Construction is lousy. But on your own you can have a decent swim if you like to swim in circles. :douchen There's a few loungers around the pool. Almost always occupied.
Sauna is nice. A normal one and one for people that like it hot. There is some Turkish room but it is always empty. Don't understand it very well. I was not allowed to enter. Had to wait for a Turkish man to give me a special massage. ::)Well, I came for the girls.
There are two ice cold baths just near the sauna. My favourites after sauna.
At the end of the wellness there is a bar with sofa's next to it. There's seats for about 20 people. This is always very quiet. For people like me that like to switch between crowds and quiet places its's just perfect. It is easy here to chat a bit longer with a girl. At the end they are always 'Selbständige Unternehmerinnen', but well that's alright with me.
You can also simply read, relax or sleep a bit there. Only few girls will come to you and start some conversation.
When you go to a room with a lady, you go upstairs. There's about 30 rooms. If there are waiting times you still go upstairs with the girl. Sit with her and wait. The girl will shout 'Letzter' and this way you know when it is your turn. You got to wait for the girl that answered her shout. The rooms are OK. Normal inside rooms for a sauna club. Not small, not very big or luxurious either.
So, that's all about the building.
The ladies are very mixed in Artemis. They come from all countries and there's not really one country dominating. Only few girls kiss. Most are between 25 and 30. They generally are a bit less beautiful than the ones at Golden Time. They ask 60 euros for each half hour. They ask 50 euros extra for anal. I read about girls offering to put their finger in your ass for 50 euros extra as well. I'm happy that I don't like anal. :lol_hitting:
I guess most important thing to tell about the girls is that my top three sessions of the last 12 months all took place in Artemis!!!! :happy
There's many girls working at Artemis but for as far as I know a lot of girls don't show up every day. I still don't understand this high irregularity.
All girls in Artemis walk around naked. Most of them will put on some decoration. Sometimes they will put on a slip or top. But that is very uncommon.
Girls are allowed to leave at 20.00 but then they need to be there at the start of day. If not, they have to stay till the end.
There's actually two versions of Artemis.
When there is a Messe in Berlin, Artemis changes. Without a Messe Artemis is just a normal club. It's nice. It's Berlin. It has some luxury. But girls in GT or PHG are more beautiful compared to Artemis when there is no Messe in Berlin.
When there is a Messe however, Artemis changes in the evening. More and more beautiful girls arrive. The atmosphere is very erotic. It's really elated. There is a glow to each and every girl. Men keep coming in. Even after midnight large groups of men may enter. Italians, French, Russians shouting all over the place. If you plan to go to Artemis, better do it on a day with a Messe in Berlin. This most certainly is a version of Artemis that will be hard to match. Here you can look for Messe days:
http://www.messe-berlin.de/MessenUndEvents/Messekalender/index.jspIf you want to spend some time in Berlin or check in into your hotel you can leave Artemis and come back later that day. Just put your signature on a notepad at the theke's. Sign it again when you come back and you get your key back.
I usually come back to have dinner at eight 'o clock but dinner will be ready for you untill 2 'o clock in the morning. They refresh dishes on a regular basis.
When you leave for your hotel or home there will always be taxis waiting. No problem. On Saturday early morning public transport never failed me. The same is true for Sunday mornings. There's at least one S-bahn each 15 minutes. On other days services are much less frequent after 1 'o clock. By then you will need to take buses. I always book a hotel near the S-bahn line 'WestKreuz to Hbf'. So, I only need one simple train. Westkreuz might be a bit of a complex station the first time. There's almost always people there to ask for directions. Just above the stairs (going down) they wrote '(Richtung) Hauptbahnhof'. Not very clear or obvious but you know what to look for.
On bahn.de you can find the schedules of all trains.
If you want to visit Berlin, there are many options for activities.
The internet and tourist agencies know all about it. I'll name a few that might appeal to most people here.
Checkpoint Charly and around is interesting for anyone. Not many people know about the Trabis you can rent there. Search for 'trabi fahrt berlin' on the web.
The DDR museum is nice. It's very playful and you can sit in a ..... Trabi of course. They show short films about the FKK culture of the Ossis. Some beautiful girls on film there. And yes, naked.
The art of naked women or The Helmut Newton museum might be of your particular interest.
See
http://www.helmut-newton.de/The Currywurst museum might be a good way to learn about the preference of Berlin people. You can 'create' your own version of their currywurst.
Between Ostbahnhof and Warschau station the wall is still intact for some 500 metres and nicely painted.
You can have a beer in many places. Harkescher Markt and around is pleasant.
Shops on Kurfürstendamm are for the rich and wealthy. You can just have a peek though.
