The German capital is famous for being both historic and hip. A third reason to visit would be Berlin shopping which runs the gamut from luxury to truly edgy. Berlin is a favourite European destination, and with good reason – known for its laid-back sense of cool, it simultaneously offers convenient transport, excellent museums, and bars and restaurants (not to mention nightlife) to suit every taste. Over the years, Berlin has also grown into something of a fashion centre, with high street brands brushing shoulders with the city’s chic boutiques, malls, and storied department stores. Berlin shopping is a real treat, offering a variety of retail therapy in both hip and glamorous settings.
Berlin's thriving centre
Berlin has a way of striking a balance between its art galleries, cabarets, performing arts, and rich theatre history. Alexanderplatz holds the perfect balance between history and shopping. Next to the endlessly famous GDR relic the television tower, you will find the ALEXA Shopping Centre, a light and modern shopping centre which opened in 2007 in an Art Deco style building. It offers a range of high street fashion brands for men, women and children. You can browse among the newest electronic devices, clothing, cosmetics, souvenirs and confectionery in 180 shops on five floors. If you want to learn more about the history of this part of the city, you can visit the DDR Museum nearby. AquaDom SEA Life and Berlin Dungeon offer lots of fun an entertainment in the same area. With the Berlin CityTourCard, you can make use of the discounts of up to 30% that the card offers at these attractions. [instagram:http://instagr.am/p/BTWJOURjAUT/]
Shop 'til you drop in the city's elegant west
Despite its bohemian reputation, the German capital's Charlottenburg district is also a chic and luxurious shopping Mecca. Whether you've got a Berlin CityTourCard for a mere 48 hours or a full six days (or any of the timing variations available in between), be sure to take advantage of the free use of public transport it allows you, and head to this western district. Charlottenburg's Kudamm, the affectionate nickname bestowed on the legendary Kurfürstendamm shopping street, has long been a retail enclave. Here you'll find shops ranging from Hermès and Louis Vuitton to the Apple store, while farther east along the street you can check out lots of accessible, high street classics. On this elegant boulevard, there are also a range of grand restaurants to complete your flâneur experience. Best of all, however, is nearby KaDeWe, Berlin's biggest and oldest department store. This pristine emporium of luxury, which opened its doors for the first time in 1909, not only offers the best of the best in terms of fashion, housewares, and beauty, but its top two floors are devoted to your inner gourmet. Whether you'd like to splurge on oysters and Champagne, simply need a bratwurst, or are looking for snacks to bring back home, you'll find something for every palate. The Kaufhaus des Westens is a landmark of West Berlin that you shouldn't miss. From here, jump on the Berlin City Circle Yellow Sightseeing tour bus and experience Berlin's highlights from the front row. [instagram:http://instagr.am/p/BYyYoovBoT4/]
