Berlin is a great place for people who love shopping. The city offers a versatile mix of shopping malls, department stores and streets with smaller boutiques. In this article we list the best areas for shopping in Berlin, a map with the exact locations and some frequently asked questions.

More than 70 shopping malls

With 70 different shopping malls you never have to travel far to go shopping in Berlin. On top of these malls there are also a bunch of outside areas like Kurfürstendamm, Friedrichstraße and Hackescher Markt. All these areas differ quite a bit when it comes to the shops, the foodcourts/restaurants, the connection and more. This article lists the best shopping areas and should make it easier to decide where to go.


1. Kurfürstendamm

In the west of Berlin, in the district Charlottenburg, the most famous shopping street of Berlin can be found. It’s called Kurfürstendamm and offers its visitors five kilometres of shopping pleasure. It’s a great mix of known brands, smaller boutiques, department stores and even a shopping mall (Europacenter). In the streets surrounding this area you can find many tasty restaurants for when you want to have a break.

Many songs, movies and books were inspired by the rich history of the Kurfürstendamm.

Authentic shopping in Berlin

Large shopping malls might have more shops per square meter but do not come close to the unique atmosphere of the Kurfürstendamm. Shopping in Berlin does not get more authentic than this. Walking around in this area is so much more fun than being inside a shopping mall. And if you really want to visit a shopping mall you can always go to the Europacenter which is located directly next to the Kurfürstendamm. One last benefit: You can combine shopping in this area with a visit to the Zoo, the Gedächtniskirche or a Christmas market.

Famous department store: KaDeWe

If you visit the Kurfürstendamm you should most definitely also visit the KaDeWe. This department store was build more than 100 years ago and is an experience by itself: With 60.000 square meters and 6 floors you can spend a good part of your shopping afternoon in this place. The products vary from cosmetics to clothing and from music to furniture. On the sixth floor you can find many extraordinary foods from all over the world.

If you love a proper discount you could consider visiting the Designer Outlet in Spandau. It’s like a small town with outlets of all large fashion brands.


2. Alexa

Although we just had a beautiful summer, the weather in Berlin can be rather cold in some months of the year. On these days it is pleasant to go shopping in an indoor shopping mall. On walking distance of Alexanderplatz you can visit a mall called Alexa. It offers 56.000 square meter of shops, a large foodcourt and you can even play bowling on the top-floor of the mall.

Convenient Shopping – Many shops close together

Alexa might not be the most authentic place to go shopping in Berlin but it is certainly a very convenient shopping area. It goes without saying that Alexanderplatz is easy to reach by both U-Bahn and S-Bahn. Besides that Alexa offers 180 different stores on three different levels. This means you will never have to walk far to get from one shop to another. With shops like Tommy Hilfiger, Quiksilver, Northface, Mango, Mediamarkt and Levi’s there is a nice range of shops for all ages and interests. A full list of shops can be found here.

Foodcourt with 17 restaurants

When you get hungry or thirsty during the shopping, you can always take a rest at the foodcourt. Alexa offers 17 different places to eat and plenty of chairs and tables. Alexa is open till 21.00 so you could even decide to have dinner here and do a bit of night-shopping. If you need some relaxation after a day of shopping you can always visit the day spa in the Radisson Blu Hotel which is not far from here.

3. Hackescher Markt

One of my favourite places to go shopping in Berlin is Hackescher Markt. Although the amount of shops is way lower than most shopping malls, the atmosphere is way better. If you travel to station Hackescher Markt you will arrive on a small square with some restaurant and a market every Thursday and Saturday. When you walk a bit further in the direction of Rosenthaler Straße you will find many interesting fashion brands like RayBan, Oakley, Fossil, Adidas, Energy, Scotch and Soda, Diesel and more.

Central location with nice restaurants and bars

Besides a bunch of nice shops and boutiques its great that there are many nice restaurants and bars close to Hackescher Markt. You can grab a good pizza, there is a cosy tapas place (YoSoy) and our favourite Vietnamese place Manngo can also be found in this area. Reaching Hackescher Markt should not be hard because it’s just one station away from Alexanderplatz.

All in all we can summarise that Hackescher Markt is perfect for people who love to do a bit of shopping and enjoy a drink with some proper food afterwards.

Name: Hackescher Markt
Address: Rosenthaler Straße
Opening-Hours: Most shops from 11.00 – 20.00

4. Mall of Berlin

A shopping mall which was opened in September 2014 is called the Mall of Berlin. This shopping-center is located directly next to Potsdamer Platz and should therefore fit perfectly in the schedule of every visitor of Berlin. The Mall of Berlin is about 200.000 square meters and offers more than 270 different shops. With large clothing-brands like Guess, Hugo Boss, Armani, Replay, G-Star and Levi’s this is great place for people who are looking for new clothing. Obviously you can also find other products here: Saturn, Christ, Depot, Fossil, Deichmann are just a few other shops.

Largest foodcourt in Berlin

Besides plenty of shops, the Mall of Berlin offers the largest foodcourt of Berlin. You will be able to eat everything from a quick snack to a real meal inside the mall. And if this is not enough you can always walk to Potsdamer Platz to enjoy some exclusive restaurants there. If you are done with shopping it’s not hard to find your next activity nearby: The Jewish Memorial, Cinemaxx cinema and Legoland are all on walking distance and you can even visit a large casino at Potsdamer Platz.

There are 8 Sundays each year on which the shops in Berlin are open. Some shops in Hauptbahnhof are open every Sunday.


5. East Side Mall

The newest shopping Mall in Berlin was opened in October 2018 and is called the East Side Mall. This mall is located directly in front of station Warschauer Straße and therefore has a perfect location for everybody who is staying in Friedrichshain. Besides plenty of interesting shops you can find a fitness-club, a cinema, two supermarkets and even a bowling-alley here.

120 versatile shops and many nice restaurants

The East Side Mall does not have as much shops as the Mall of Berlin or Alexa but still offers many great brands like Bershka, Weeklday, Vero Moda, Monki, H&M, Rituals and more. What’s great about the Mall of Berlin is that besides a foodcourt there are also many very nice restaurants closer to the Mercedes Benz Arena. You can have a lovely hamburger in places like Hans im Glück or Five Guys for example.

Mercedes Benz Arena and East Side Gallery

A visit to the East Side Mall can be easily combined with watching a sport-match or enjoying a concert of a cover band. All of this can be found in the Mercedes Benz Arena.

6. Friedrichstrasse

As a visitor of Berlin, you might be interested in combining shopping in Berlin with some of the touristic attractions. If this is the case you should consider visiting the Friedrichstrasse. Besides a great place for shopping, you can easily visit places like Checkpoint Charlie and Brandenburger Tor. A highlight in the winter is the Christmas market located at the Gendarmenmarkt.

Exclusive and expensive shops

But this article should be related to shopping so let us get back to that topic: Friedrichstrasse is known for offering some of the more exclusive shops in the higher price range. Brands like Gucci, Hugo Boss, Marc O’Polo and Breitling are just a few examples. There are also larger department stores like Galaries Lafayette and Dussmann. The fact that the prices are higher does not mean that Friedrichstrasse is not interesting for visitors with a smaller budget. Window-Shopping and getting inspired can be a lot of fun in this part of Berlin.

Name: Shops in the Friedrichstraße
Opening-Hours: Most shops from 10.00 – 20.00
Public Transport: Station Friedrichstrasse
Website: No official website
Amount of shops: 50-70
Example of shops: Hugo Boss, Galeries Lafayette, Escada, Gucci, Breitling, Emporio Armani, Dussmann Kulturkaufhaus and more


7. Schlossstrasse (Boulevard Berlin)

The last name in the list of shopping areas in Berlin is the Schlossstrasse. Compared to the other shopping areas, this shopping area is located a little further from the center. Steglitz is 12,5km away from Alexanderplatz but can be easily reached by public transport. During the weekends it can actually be a smart move to stay away from the crowded places in the city. Besides some shops outside in the Schlossstraße, there is also a shopping mall called Berlin Boulevard in this area. It offers brands like G-Star, Mexx, Zara, Hollister and many more.

Less touristic part of Berlin

Name: Boulevard Berlin
Address: Schloßstraße 10, 12163 Berlin
Opening-Hours: 10.00 – 20.00
Public Transport: Schlossstrasse

  3. Hi! Thanks so much for your sharing. I’m so into flea market and street food. I’ll come to Berlin the 2 first week of January. May I know if there are any places like that in such cold weather?

    • Job Reply

      Hey Chi,

      there are actually still a few Christmas markets in the first week of January. Maybe that would be a great alternative for you?

      If not, I would check out the markets at the RAW-Gelände and Mauerpark. They both take place on sundays but check out there Facebook-pages first.

      Have fun!

  4. Hi,
    I’ve to Berlin in 2010, seems like ages ago. So now I am planning to visit Berlin once again for few days, maybe a week in January 2019. So many places to see, so many thinks to do…I also would like to catch some sales. When do they start? Last week of January?

    • Job Reply

      Hey Irena,

      time flies but good that you are coming back now!

      If it has to be January, I think the last week is the best choice for having guaranteed sales.

      Happy shopping!

  5. Hello Job,
    I am visiting from Egypt.
    I have two questions:
    1-Which mall is the one with shops offering affordable prices? is it the KaDeWe department?
    2-I wear veil “headcover” and i am a little worried about safety cause of racism. what are the places i should be avoiding?
    Thank you for taking the time to reply to all those who visited your website 🙂

    greetings from Egypt

    • Job Reply

      Hey Basma,

      thanks for the comment.

      1. KaDeWe is not a shopping mall, it’s a department store. I would also not describe their prices as very affordable.
      2. Unfortunately I cannot answer that question because I have never experienced racism like that or heard someone about it. I have seen it in the news but cannot point out a specific area where the changes are larger that it happens.

      Hope that helps a bit anyway. Have a good time in Berlin.

  6. Hi, im travelling to Berlin in june can you please tell me the best places to find vintage and second hand clothes stores?
    Thank you

    • Hey Ada,

      a great place to visit if you like second-hand clothing would be Humana. There is one on walking distance from Alexanderplatz.

      Just google it and you will find it.

      Have fun!

  7. hi

    I am Surafel from Ethiopia visiting Berlin.Thanks for your Recommendations.
    I was looking for a place where i can buy loud speakers(used or New), if you know a place other than Saturn and media M.

  8. Hi.Will be visiting Berlin in second week of December.Would you advise some inexpensive (branded)shops wherein i can buy household items, clothes and beers(german made).Also would you be able to advise some knowledgeable local guide who can show and brief me about the historic places in Germany in english and their charges.

    • Hi RSS,

      The first two things can be bought in the larger department stores. Homemade beers can be bought close to Ostkreuz, at Strassenbrau.

      I am not really sure what the prices of the guides are but Google will be able to help you there.

      Have fun!

      Job

  9. Hi… Good recommendations!
    How about Flea markets? Are there any?

    • Hi Hande,

      there are still flea markets in October but less than in the summer.

      You could have a look in Mauerpark or at the Rathaus in Schöneberg. But it is probably best to check their website out before you go, just to be sure!

      Cheers!

  10. Hi Job,

    I will be visiting Berlin from the 22nd October to the 25th October. I will be staying in the Kruezberg area at Suite Novotel Potzdamer. Could you pls let me know any cheap shopping areas near about that?
    Also, wanted to know would the weather be very cold there? What kind of woollens do you recommend?

    • Hi Nam,

      the public transport in Berlin is awesome so you will be able to reach almost all shopping areas in this article within 15-30 minutes. The closest one would probably be Alexa.

      Regarding the weather: It can be quite cold in October so I would definitely take a solid jacket and some warm jumpers.

      Have fun!

  15. Hi. Planning to visit Berlin this weekend. Do you think Winterschlussverkauf 2016/2017 will have already started? Or will that be too early? Many thanks!

  16. Seems all Bench stores in Berlin, Germany, are gone !!??!!

    The one that (according to the Internet) is suppose to be in ALEXA shopping center – is not there

    Anybody who knows some real facts – please advice as to the whereabouts of Bench Berlin ???
    Please advise all and to me at ronnie@arr.email

    Thanks,
    Ronnie

    • Hi Ronnie,

      There is only a Bench outlet close to Wustermark.

      Visit the website of Bench, go to the bottom and search for shops in Berlin.

      Good luck!

  17. Hi,

    When in your opinion will start Winterschlussverkauf 2016/2017, because on official site they suggest that from 30.01.2017 until half of Feburary. Is it “safe” from sales point of view go to Berlin on 4th-5th of Feburary.. it is not too late ?

    • Hi Robert,

      I guess the best deals are already gone by then but you will probably still find some discounted articles.

      If you need pretty common sizes, it might be better to visit Berlin earlier.

      Good luck!

  18. Hi!very useful website,thanks!
    Planning first time to visit Berlin , when start Christmas sales like boxing days in UK?

    • Hi Denis,

      there is no such thing as the Boxing Days but there are some sales in Berlin already.

      It all depends on the type of product you are looking for as well.

      Good luck!

  19. Hi Job!
    Im goin to visit Berlin in January and i want to shop schwibbogen. Is there any shopping center where they are selling those? In what shopping center it is good to make shoppings for the kids?

    • Hi Karla,

      thats a tough question. I never bought these myself so am not sure where to buy them.

      You might find them in the KaDeWe, which is located at Kurfürstendamm. Other big department stores like Galaria Kaufhof might also have them.

      Shopping for the kids is probably best at Alexa or Mall of Berlin.

      Good luck!

  20. Hi i am to visit berlin in mid november.i wish to shop knitwears/sweaters for ladies and gents.is there any market which is not too expensive?german local designer shops/market.

    • Hi Joe,

      for youngsters you are best off in The Mall of Berlin. There are some great shops for youngsters there.

      Your first question is a bit harder to answer, have you checked my article about the Designer-Outlet?

  21. Hi, what a great website -Thank You! I am in Berlin mid October 2016 for a week and I hoping to find a ladies hat shop – any recommendations ? Thanks again X

      there are Vintage Shops all over Berlin but you probably will have a great time around Boxhagener Platz or in the area near Hackescher Markt/Rosenthaler Platz.

      Good Luck!

  23. Hi

    I´m a foreigner student in Germany and will fly home in about two months. My flight is from Berlin, so i have to buy souvenirs there for relatives. Any suggestions of places to go? Since i´ve never been there

    I’m planning on travel to Berlin next august.. I want to do some shopping but also would like to have an idea about how cheap/or expensive can be comparing with the USA , any opinion about it .. Thank you very much ur article is great !!

    • Hi Rebe,

      the big brands will probably be about the same price but there are also a lot of smaller brands which sell nice pieces for a reasonable price.

      I am originally from the Netherlands and the clothes are about the same price there compared to Berlin.

      Good luck!

  25. Good day Job!

    I and husband will be travelling to Berlin this coming early October. where can I find the branded items outlet since we just have a limited time due to husband got all day conference meeting for 5days straight. Seems been a tough and difficulties to arrange time. appreciate your reply with many thanks 🙂

    • Hi Liza,

      the best would probably be to visit the Outlet in Spandau, but if you do not have time for that I would suggest visiting a “normal” shopping-mall and enjoying the sales there. There will normally be some sale in the beginning of October.

      Good luck!

  26. Hi, there is a shop on Karl Liebknecht Strasse where are offered things to the kitchen, bathroom or even woman’s bag with a great and funny design. This shop is on the corner near to the Aquarium Berlin. Do you know what is the name of this shop? Thanks!

  27. Hi Job. Could you please help me find a store where I can buy commercial toys in Berlin?? It’s been difficult to find a place apart from Berlin Mall (I couldn’t find what I was looking for there). Many thanks!

    • Hi Matthias,

      you can probably find some in the big department stores. Maybe visit Alexanderplatz and go into Galeria Kaufhof and if you cannot find something there try the top-floor of the Alexa.

      Hope that helps!

  28. Do you know the closest shopping place to the Freie university of Berlin?

    • Hi Kate,

      sorry for the late reply, your comment was hidden somehow.

      The best place to go would be the Boulevard Berlin. It is mentioned in the article.

      Have fun!

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hi Sammy,

      you could walk to Alexanderplatz and visit the Galeria Kaufhof.

      Have fun!

  29. My daughter is going to Berlin with her university for 10 days from 1 July till 10 July. She is interested in cheap shopping places. Are there any good discount schemes during this period?

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hallo Raza,

      in July the real discount-season has not started yet. The summer-Sale will start in the end of August/beginning of September. If you want sale anyway you could always check the the designer outlet in Spandau.

      Good luck!

  30. i am going to Berlin between 19th July to 12th August, will there be sales and where are the best sales’ destinations?!

    • Hi Menna,

      the best sales-destination is probably in Spandau but there might be some sales in the other shopping malls in Berlin as well. The big summer-sale start in August.

      Cheers!

      Hi Diz,

      In the article I mentioned the websites of the shopping malls. I would suggest that you check them out and see when they are opened because you are in Berlin during the Christmas period.

      Some of the christmas markets will also be open during the next couple of days so also have a look there.

      Have fun!

  32. Hi! Really loved your post, will definitely check these places out. I will be going to Berlin sometime this month and i would like to know if you knew around when the winter sales are starting? Is it before christmas? after christmas? before new years or after?

    also, do you know if there is a victorias secret located anywhere in Berlin?

    thanks in advance! Happy holidays 🙂

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hi Macgirl,

      The real sale will start in January. There are some small sales now but the larger discounts can be found after the second week of January.

      Sorry, I cannot help you with a Victoria Secret Shop but Google will most likely know the answer 🙂

      Have fun shopping!

  33. Hi!

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hello Marja,

      The shops are normally not open on Sundays and I do not expect them to be open on the 1st and 3rd of January.

      But I just read on the website of Mall of Berlin (Potdamer Platz) that the shopping Mall is open on the 31st of December (till 16.00) and also on the 3rd of January.

      Good luck!

  39. Hi
    My boyfriend and I are traveling to Berlin from 17-20.december. We would like to experience the many Christmas markets like Berlin is so famous for. Do you have any tips that fits for two 21 year olds?

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hi Elisabeth,

      You will probably like all of the markets but if I have to suggest one for young people I would say the one at Alexanderplatz next to Alexa.

      The cool thing is that you can combine three christmas-markets which are all located close to eachother there.

      Good luck!

  40. What sightseeing tour to see main attractions in Berlin would be recommended for two days and good restaurants such as Indian or others

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hi Egill,

      It is probably easiest to start at Alexanderplatz and walk to Reichstag. You can see Berliner Dom and Brandenburger Tor on the way.

      Best wishes,

  43. Hi, do you know when are usual “sale periods” in Berlin? We were visiting Berlin in June and would like to come back in autumn/winter but in the period of sales :). Thank you very much!

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hi Natalie,

      Thanks for your comment.

      The biggest sale can be found around January and August. In Autumn it will be a bit harder but you can still find plenty of discounts in the shopping centers mentioned in my article.

      Good luck!

  44. Hi!

    Thanks for the article, it’s very exhaustive and useful. I just wanted to point out an error: I believe it’s Hackescher Markt, not Hackischer Markt

      Hi Alan, thanks for the comment.

      Berlin has a very good public transport system. I live here for more than 3 years now and never had to wait for a train or subway longer than 5-6 minutes.

      Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg are probably areas you would have a good time with your family.

      Best wishes!

      Hi Leesha,

      The weather should be fine in the end of April. It has been good the last couple of weeks already so normally that should be fine.

      There are no big discounts around that time of the year. But you could easily get to shopping centers like Alexa and the new Mall of Berlin.

      Good luck!

      Hi Eli,

      The biggest sale is in January/February and after the summer but there will probably still be some discounts in the big shopping-malls.

      Check the new Mall of Berlin out, there are 300 shops.

      Good luck!

  65. Hello,

    Many thanks!

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hi Carolina,

      Best wishes and good luck!

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hi Pia,

      Alexanderplatz is very central and you will be able to visit a lot of cool attractions. The Fernsehturm is probably the first one 🙂

      I do not know about all these shops but there is a shopping center close to Alexanderplatz: It is called Alexa.

      Good luck!

      If you are going to be in Berlin for 5 days you can see several shopping centers.

      Good luck!

      Hi Narina,

      The nearest shopping center is the one in Friedrichstraße. It will be very close to your accomodation.

      But from station Friedrichstraße you will be also able to reach Hackischer Markt (1 stop with S-Bahn) Shopping-Mall Alexa (two stops with s-bahn) very easily.

      Good luck!

  74. Hello,
    I’am living in Bernburg(Saale) and I planned to visit Berlin in December. Indeed, I would like to know the most important historical places and museums there and if 2 days iare enough or no, also I would like to know if there is any sale at that period and which are the suitable mall or shops .

    Thanks

    • Hi Moufida,

      Normally there is no large sale in December but some shops will have some minor promotions.

      Two days will be hard if you want to do shopping and see some nice attractions but it is possible if you get up early and use a tight schedule.

      Good luck!

      Good luck!

  79. Hi, Thanks for the article

    Its my first time to visit berlin, Where do you recommand me to stay in which area ?
    A place in the middle of the city where everything is down and near , clubs, bars and shopping streets ?

    thank you

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hi Joseph,

      This all depends a lot on your preferences. How much do you want to spend and what are your plans?

      Most people like Friedrichshain because there are many great clubs and the area is very “alive”. The great thing about Berlin is that you can reach every corner of the city in about 30 minutes with public transport. So in general I anything in Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, Prenzlauer Berg or Mitte is fine. Good luck!

  80. Hi,

    I am planning to travel to Berlin 20th Sept.
    I have been in Berlin twice but have never found a shopping street like other European countries, where there is many shops and no cars.
    Can you recoomend the one in Berlin.

    Thanks a lot

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hi Julie,

      Thanks for your comment.

      The suggestions in this article are some great spots to do shopping in Berlin. I agree that many other big cities have their shops more centrally together but a shopping-mall like Alexa will give you a few hours of shopping-fun for sue.

      Good luck!

  81. Hi, I am in Berlin Aug 31- Sep 4 and i am hoping to do some Shopping. I am staying in Mitte will it be easy to get to Kurfürstendamm and Friedrichstrasse from my Hotel? Also looking to go to Hard Rock Cafe

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hi Charlotte, thanks for your comment.

      Yes it will not be difficult. You can take the S-Bahn to Zoologischer Garten and this will take you about 15-20 minutes. From there it is about 5 minutes walk.
      The Hard Rock Cafe is located in at Kürfurstendamm so it should be quite easy to combine that with some shopping!

      Have fun!

      Good luck man!

      Hi Mary,

      I would suggest typing “Gerry Weber gutschein karte kaufen” in Google and pressing at the House of Gerry Weber link. Than you can just put the Gift Card in your “Warenkorb” and pay.

      You can also put a full URL in Google-Translate and it will translate a whole website for you.

      Good luck!

  85. Hi..

    Thanks

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hi Vee,

      Thanks for your comment.

      There is sale in many shops in Berlin at the moment. If you really want to shop and not much more I would suggest you visit Alexa: Three floor full of shops and many interesting brands.

      There are three puma-stores in Berlin but none of them is close to my suggestions. Maybe visit the one at Alte Potsdamer Straße 7, it is not far from Mitte by public transport.

      Good luck!

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hi Timo!
      That outlet is quite cool but in August you will find a lot of Sale in Berlin anyway. Maybe you should visit some of the places in this article and if you do not find what you are looking for you can always visit the Outlet. It is a bit out of the city and not so easy to reach.

      Good luck!

    • Berlin-Enjoy Reply

      Hi! Thanks for your comment. The sale will probably start during this month and will continue till the end of August.
