Bikini Berlin

Bikini Berlin takes its name from the building's original split-level design and distinguishes itself from typical malls with a rotating set of pop-up "boxes" that showcase independent and emerging designers alongside its permanent stores. A terrace overlooking the neighboring Berlin Zoo's monkey enclosure adds an unusual draw that reviewers frequently mention, and clean facilities and a manageable size make it an easy stop. Its above-average trendy and aesthetic scores reflect a mall built around a genuine design concept rather than pure scale.
