Shopping in Berlin

Berlin is very suitable for those who like markets and second-handshops. For others, Berlin isn't a real shopper's paradise. When you go shopping, you can easily notice the difference between the former western and former eastern area of the German capital. The western site is still far ahead in size, scope and quality of its stores and the merchandise they offer. This area also claims to be the Germany's leading fashion centre.

The main shopping districts are the Kurfürstendamm, Breitscheidplatz and for some bargains stroll the Budapestststrasse and Tauenzienstrasse. Most of the big stores are open 9.30am - 8pm Mon-Fri and between 9am and 4pm on Saturdays. All stores are closed on Sundays, except for small stores in main train stations. In the eastern part of Berlin Unter den Linden and Friedrichstrasse are the main shopping-areas.

Some of the nicest shops and markets are listed under the sublocations of Berlin, where they can be found.

Almost every quarter of Berlin has its own shopping mile. For example the Karl-Marx-Strasse in Berlin-Neukölln, the Schloßstrasse in Berlin-Steglitz, the area around Rathaus Spandau, the Müllerstrasse in Berlin-Wedding and the Schönhauser Allee in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg. One of the "hippest" shopping streets at the moment is the Schönhauser Allee with countless independent shops along the street. Here most of the young Berliners live, and the shops have the latest fashion and a lot of young independent designers for a reasonable price.

Only 100 meters from Checkpoint Charlie you will find a small but very interesting shopping place, the boxoffberlin, or just bob. It's a shop, Cafe and gallery in one. The shop offers extraordinary souvenirs and cool gifts made by local designers (shirts, bags, comics, music, films, games, post cards, toys, books...). The Cafe has coffee specialties based on organically grown and fair traded Espresso and an individual selection of soft drinks (e.g. Fritz Kola, Bionade) and beer (e.g. Berliner Weisse, Palast-Bier) and the gallery shows changing more..

Stilbruch Antiquitäten & Schmuck

Edit This

It's far from being the largest antiques store in Berlin, but something about its dense inventories of Biedermeier-era furniture, tableware, and jewelry might appeal to your sense of schmaltz and nostalgia. Owner Margareta Wojcieszak makes sure that objects are waxed and polished to a high sheen. Everything seems to evoke a story about other places, other priorities, and other eras.
