There is nothing really about Kurfürstendamm that leaps out at you as a "must see" while in Berlin. It is very much like many of the other major Boulevards in large European cities. There are lots of expensive designer stores and over priced cafes. Granted, the cafes are excellent and you will get your money's worth but they are expensive.... More

We spent 4 days in Berlin and thought we should visit this renowned street and area. The bus ride through the park from the east of the city was interesting and we did see the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church which made the trip worthwhile. Aside from this we found the area just like any other busy city shopping area. KaWeDe... More

Be prepared for a lot of walking. This is a loooong and wide street with many many shops, and of course cool restaurants. Not the cheapest place in Berlin, but the quality is certainly good. More

As the main shopping street in Berlin many things can be found... Zoo Garten, street performers, shops and restaurants of many kinds... The perfect place to take a walk... Or, if it suits you the perfect place to people watch or be seen from a sidewalk cafe..! More

There used to be 2 great independant stores the Ka De Ve and Wertheims. Since Wertheims has been re-branded as a Karstadt it is now just the same as all other Karstadts. The Ku-damm is systematic of most high streets since most of the independant stores that once gave it life have long gone and it is just a collection... More
