BERLINER KUNSTMARKT
Shopping
In addition to the usual multi-storey department stores that you can find all
around Europe, Berlin has many small, interesting shops that are perfect for
browsing. A remarkable number of quirky specialist stores are thriving; we've
reviewed some of the more interesting and distinctive places. As a rule the
level of customer service is excellent - and if a shop can't supply you with
what you need the assistants will not hesitate to suggest alternatives.
Unsurprisingly, too, Berlin is an excellent place for secondhand shopping. If
you like foraging you'll love the city's many flea markets - a number of which
are veritable treasure troves of Eastern Bloc relics - and its interesting
vintage clothes shops.
