Potsdamer Platz
Berlin 10785Description:

Friedrichstraße
Friedrichstraße Berlin 10117Description:
MITTE. Considered the main drag of what was once East Berlin, Friedrichstrasse has shrugged off its cobwebs and emerged as one of the city's more cutting-edge commercial zones. Where visitors once found ho-hum trinket and souvenir stands, they now discover a bustling central district that's the epitome of 21st century capitalism. Indeed, high-end markets, boutiques, department stores, and restaurants stand in the shadows of modern office buildings, giving Friedrichstrasse the look and feel of London, the Big Apple, and other fashion centers. U-BAHN: Friedrichstrasse and Französische Strasse
KaDeWe
Tauentzienstrasse 21-24 Berlin 10789 • +49-(0)-30-2121-0Description:
CHARLOTTENBURG WILMERSDORF. One of Berlin's perhaps even Western Europe's largest and most famous department stores, legendary Kaufhaus des Westens in Charlottenburg is revered for its wide variety (seven floors worth!) of high-end merchandise, ranging from contemporary fashions and cosmetics to best-selling media and kitschy kitchen wares. In addition to great shopping, the store has a delicacies department on the sixth floor that features champagne, wine, and beer bars; a deli; a crêperie; and even a sushi bar. U-BAHN: U1, U2, U3 Wittenbergplatz
Europa Center
Breitscheidplatz Berlin 10789 • +49 30 2649 7940Description:
CHARLOTTENBURG WILMERSDORF. Ultra-sleek and very Euro, this large center in Charlottenburg is a perfect spot for shopping and people-watching. Completed in the early '60s, it was intended to be the commercial heart and soul of West Berlin, and indeed it was - and still is! Bars, coffee shops, and about 100 stores spread across three, atrium-style floors. In addition, unique features like the Clock of Floating Time, Lotus-Fountain, and even fragments of the Berlin Wall have become tourist attractions almost as popular as the mall itself. Take the elevator to Europa-Center's 22nd floor and get a great view of the surrounding city. U-BAHN: Zoologischer Garten
Kurfürstendamm and Tauentzienstrasse
Kurfürstendamm BerlinDescription:
CHARLOTTENBURG - WILMERSDORF. Long considered West Berlin's main commercial drag, Ku'Damm offers a wide range of shopping alternatives, from upscale stores carrying name-brand fashions to boutiques whose merchandise falls on the cutting-edge. Side streets like Fasanenstrasse offer opportunty for serious shoppers to find one-of-a-kind fashions. Tauentzienstrasse, Ku'Damm's eastern exension, is a shopping mecca all its own, thanks to Europa-Center and ultra-classy KaDeWe. U-BAHN: Kurfürstendamm and Wittenbergplatz

Neues Kranzler Eck
Kurfürstendamm 23 Berlin 10719 • +49-(0)-30-8877-1100Description:
CHARLOTTENBURG WILMERSDORF. Ku'damm 23, home to the New Kranzler-Eck, has to be one of Charlottenburg's hottest addresses for shoppers, who are attracted by the center's bold style and high-end specialty shops. Indeed, the 16-level building's architecture, conceived by Helmut Jahn, is marked by sharp geometrical elements, and its glass-and-steel facade gives it the illusion of transparency on clear days. Among the more popular shops you'll find is Karstadt Sport. U-BAHN: Kurfürstendamm or Uhlandstrasse
