Kurfürstendamm

U-Bahn Line U1: Kurfürstendamm

If you’re in the mood to part with your cash effortlessly, Kurfürstendamm is as good a place as any to satisfy your deepest desires for all things High Street. Easily reachable by U-Bahn, Ku’damm is lined by flagship store after flagship store, including H&M, Zara, Mango, Nike and Adidas.

If all the spending gets to be just too much, take a breather with a crêpe or a Currywurst on the shady steps in front of the breath-taking Gedächtniskirche, or soak your weary feet in the beautiful fountain nearby.

As you’d expect, Saturday afternoon on Ku’damm can be a bit of a nightmare for those wishing to get anything done quickly - or indeed anyone who values personal space. Check it out through the week for an altogether more pleasurable retail experience.

Kaufhaus Des Westens is at the top end of Ku’Damm in both senses of the term. This 100 year old department store has nine floors stylishly packed with a range of products from over 60 different countries. Boasting big labels, Ka De We is a little pricey, but it’s worth checking out solely for the gourmet wonderland on the 6^th floor.

Interesting fact: the space in the Basement of Ka De We is a dedicated kennel. So if your pooch is too pooped to purchase, or you keep getting tangled in the lead, you can drop him off here and get some proper shopping done.
