However, if you’re somewhat behind the cutting edge of cultural theory, as most are, there are still numerous photography and art magazines with loads of lovely pictures waiting for you on the shelves. The prices here are a bit steeper than at your average newsstand, but that’s just the going rate for the crème de la crème.

Kurfürstendamm dateert uit de 16de eeuw, toen de gekozen Prins Joachim II een pad bouwden die zijn paleis verbond op de Unter den Linden met zijn jachtverblijf Grunewald bos. In de late 19de eeuw transformeerde Bismarck de gewone straat in een prestigieuze boulevard bekleed door prachtige herenhuizen. Vernietigd tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog en herbouwd in de daaropvolgende decennia is Kurfürstendamm niet langer de schoonheid die het ooit was. Maar "Ku'damm"- zoals de Berlijners het liefdevol noemen, is nog steeds een symbool van rijkdom en voorspoed.
Deze tak van de beroemde Parijse warenhuis geeft een vleugje mediterrane elegantie aan de ietwat sobere Duitse hoofdstad. Gelegen in het Friedrichstadt-Passagen winkelcentrum op Friedrichstrasse, Oost-Berlijn Premier winkelstraat biedt de winkel de nieuwste mode uit cult ontwerpers als Yves Saint Laurent en Pierre Cardin. Het ontwerp van het gebouw, met zijn zonovergoten interieur en opvallende glazen dak, is even gewaagd. Het enige probleem is dat de platen van glas af en toe naar beneden vallen op de stoep en een ravage creëren onder passanten en nu de toorn van de lokale autoriteiten heeft gewekt. De voedselhal in de kelder is niet helemaal in dezelfde competitie als KaDeWe's legendarische voedselafdeling, maar is nog steeds een geweldige plaats om te komen en geniet van een paar verse oesters.

The original Alexanderplatz, locally called 'Alex' by Berliners, was completely flattened during World War II. Its present day appearance is a prime example of East German town planning: a huge, windswept pedestrian area surrounded by 1960s high-rises. But those who are familiar with Alexanderplatz from Alfred Döblin's novel of the same name will find that none of the hustle and bustle of the square has disappeared. Alexanderplatz is still very much a commuters' thoroughfare and is regarded by locals as the true center of Berlin. Named after Russian Czar Alexander I who visited the Prussian capital in 1805, Alexanderplatz was at the center of the mass-demonstrations which brought the Berlin Wall tumbling down in November 1989.
