📖

Full description

KaDeWe — short for Kaufhaus des Westens, or "department store of the West" — has been a Berlin landmark for over a century, its many floors covering fashion, beauty, and homeware before culminating in a sprawling gourmet food hall on the top floor that reviewers single out as the highlight of any visit. It draws an enormous number of visitors, reflected in over 64,000 reviews and a strong 4.3 rating, and its near-perfect must-see score confirms its place as an essential Berlin sight as much as a shopping stop.

With a very low hidden-gem score, it's firmly on every visitor's radar rather than a discovery.

A MUST visit especially during the holiday season. The 6th floor is one stop shopping for food, coffee and a sweet treat, chocolates and foods from all over. It was an amazing delight to take in
