All of the lights on Kurfürstendamm
As well as the amazing shopping experience at Ku’damm, you must check out the Kurfürstendamm Christmas Market and see all the Christmas lights.
Kudamm christmas market
At the Kurfürstendamm and Tauentzienstraße you will find the 4,5km of pure Christmas sparkly joy. Almost 600 fairy lighted trees and many other sparkly Christmas figures like Santa Claus, Nutcracker, Buddy Bear and Christmas train are waiting on you! Fun fact: per tree they use around 300 meters of fairy lights, wow!
Once you get tired of taking pictures and walking along viewing the fairy lights of the Kurfürstendamm stop at the Gedächtniskirche Christmas Market. If you are feeling lucky and in the mood to try out something new, order mulled cherry beer and Kartoffelpuffer with Apfelmus (German potato fritters with apples sauce). Come and eat like a local.
Kurfürstendamm Shopping
After your food energy boost, it’s time to experience the Kurfürstendamm shopping (Christmas version). On Ku’damm there is something for everyone, you can find everything here, not only the streetwear brands but the high-end brands too.
Looking for unique and traditional German Christmas ornaments? We have a store for you. At the Käthe Wohlfahrt on Ku’damm there are two floors with more than 8,000 different Christmas ornaments. From the traditional candle holders to music boxes, Christmas tree decorations and nutcrackers. Fun-fact: Käthe Wohlfahrt store is open 365 days in a year.
Definitely peek into the 113 years old KaDeWe (Das Kaufhaus des Westens)- one of the largest department stores in Europe with a luxury good assortment. Stop and take a selfie in front of their christmassy and kitschy window shopping and don’t miss the delicatessen department on the last floor- the so-called „Feinschmeckeretage”.
Desire something else from your Kurfürstendamm shopping experience? Stop by at Bikini Berlin, a concept shopping mall, and an urban oasis in the middle of the city. At Bikini Berlin you will find many Berlin and Scandinavian based brands, not only shops with the clothes but with the interior stuff too. Did we mentioned there is a huge window inside the mall from where you can observe the monkeys from the Zoo while drinking coffee? Yes at Ku’damm that is possible too.
