The cult place of its time, one of the biggest shopping centers of the old lady of Europe, the legendary "KaDeVe" is not known only by the lazy German, and there was only a stupid Berliner here . And even if your goal on a trip is well not shopping at all, to visit the "Trading House of the West" (and that's exactly what KaDeWe stands for) is sure to be . First of all, to marvel at the scale - the shelves here literally burst . Secondly, to drink champagne on the top floor . As after purchases, and simply - so far The first way through the capital of Germany was spiced with a pleasant share of "pop" . And, finally, to say with a pathos: I saw these 1800 sorts of cheese, but I did not find something special, poor assortment, oh, poor .
But it's all a joke, but seriously, the KaDe is seven floors of first-class shopping, a great deli with 500 kinds of bread, clothes, accessories, shoes, white bed, sports equipment and even the devil knows what , but exceptionally pleasant in quality and, most importantly, adequate in price.
The first floor of the shopping mall in the picturesque and green Charlottenburg district occupy the most pretentious corners, boutiques and luxury brand stores - this is the flagship floor, because here all the most expensive and beautiful . The second floor was given to men . Trousers, jackets, shirts, jeans, chinos, polo and a hundred other names from democratic to expensive brands . Ladies were pleasantly settled on two levels . At the third is located the fourth is given for underwear, accessories, clothes for babies and for all the pleasant little things of life . On the other floors you can find everything: equipment, sports goods, and even a "tax-free corner" so that when you leave the border, you will receive a legitimate interest that will not go to the treasury of Germany from the citizens of Russia as a tax .
But the main highlight of the "KaDeVe" is the grocery floor. That's where the gourmet's imagination can play out and the sense of smell go crazy. Rare delicacies and hundreds of varieties of familiar products that can be cooked right on the spot in one of the specially equipped "open" cafes. Immediately, of course, take a fresh amber beer, to somehow digest not only all that was eaten, but also seen.
