Continental Europe's largest department store has been going strong since 1907 and is certainly a tempting retail temple. Explore the historic maze of high-end wares, seemingly stocking everything any heart desires. And don’t miss the legendary gourmet floor on the sixth floor. A mind-boggling selection of epicurean treats from around the world awaits, with plenty of local brands to discover as well.
The name, by the way, stands for Kaufhaus des Westens (department store of the West) and is pronounced "kah-day-vay".
Heading west on Tauentzienstrasse from KaDeWe you’ll reach Kurfürstendamm (Ku’damm), Berlin’s main shopping boulevard, with its high-street chains and department stores along the strip and indie boutiques on the leafy side streets.
