The Kurfürstendamm

The Kurfürstendamm, often abbreviated to Ku'damm, is a 3.5 kilometer long boulevard lined with 4 rows of plane trees and is often referred to as the Champs-Elysees of Berlin.  Here you will find enough high-end boutiques to keep your credit card busy including Armani, Prada, Gucci and Rolex.  On the elegant side streets such as Bleibtreuestraße and Fasanenstraße you will find many beautiful stores selling everything from art and antiques to tea and homewares, along with some of Berlin's finest boutique hotels and pensions.  

If you need to recharge, there are a number of wonderful cafés, bars and restaurants in the area, and if you'd like to learn about the history of Berlin in a cool interactive museum complete with original cold war bomb shelter tour, check out the Story of Berlin.
