Top of everybody's cultural to-do list will be Club Silencio, which opened for business last Wednesday. This is the real-life version of the nightclub depicted in David Lynch's cult classic film Mulholland Drive from 2001.
The interior is completely designed by the auteur himself, from the 1950s-style furniture and reflective dance floor to the black toilet bowls. The club comprises a concert hall, restaurant, library, cinema and even an indoor forest. During the daytime it's a members-only club, so get there at midnight when it opens to the public.
