Besides the large amount of attractions and activities, an afternoon of shopping is one of the most popular things to do in Berlin. Shopping in a foreign country is especially nice because there are different brands, shops and trends to be found. In our article about the best shopping areas you could already read that Berlin has enough to offer for shopping-fanatics. However if sale and discounts is what you are looking for you might want to consider visiting the designer outlet Spandau.
Sale in Berlin
Quite often we receive comments on this blog of people who are looking for the latest sale in Berlin. We all love buying expensive brands and products for a discounted price. In the normal shopping areas, you can find bigger sales two times a year: In September the summer is over and in January/February the winter-clothes have to be sold out. But if you love discounts and bargains, you should go and check out the outlet in Spandau as they have sale every month of the year.

The designer outlet in Spandau is like a small city full with shops instead of houses. All the famous brands have their own shop here and the best thing is that you will only find products on sale here. The brands offer outdated collections or products which cannot be sold in normal stores for whatever reason. The sale mostly starts around 30% but can go up to 80%. Because all the large brands are represented in the designer outlet Spandau, you will have a great afternoon here if you love to go shopping.

Hi Job.. if I go by taxi…to outlet when I’m getting back.. they have taxi over there at outlet
He Danny,
I am not completely sure if there are always taxi’s waiting in front of the outlet. But you can always take a number or order one in advance for a specific time.
Good luck!
Which ticket is required to go there by bus? Does it come in C zone?
Hey Kuzz,
Yes, it should normally be zone C. But in the bus you can always ask the driver and pay over there if you want to be sure.
Have fun!

Hi Job,
How far is the Spandau outlet from Gendarmenmarkt? We will be visiting in August for just half a day in Berlin (by cruise), so time is quite limited.
Thank you in advance!
Hi Mandy,
You will not have enough time to go there. I would suggest you visit one of the Shopping-Areas in Berlin in our article.
Have fun!
