Charlottenburg, Berlin

Even if a shopping spree on the Ku’damm is not what you had in mind, Charlottenburg might win you over with its cabaret hall charm. But this is first and foremost a shopper’s paradise.

That’s mainly because the luxurious KaDeWe department store is here. If that’s too mainstream for your liking, head over to Kantrasse for more interesting shops. Of course, this being the heart of old West Berlin, you won’t be lacking in classic bars (Schwarzcafé, Paris Bar…) or good restaurants either.
