The water-clock in Europa-Center

Kurfürstendamm

The Kurfürstendamm probably is Berlin’s most famous avenue.
What the Champs-Élyées is for Paris, the "Kudamm" - as the street is called locally - is for Berlin. It’s full of exclusive shop, hotels, restaurants, theatres, car show rooms, and in contrast to Berlin’s other main shopping street Friedrichstr. it’s broad, has wide pavewalks, lots of trees, street musicians and street artists.
The Kudamm starts out at Gedächtniskirche (memorial church) and leads about four kilometers to the district of Halensee.
The sightseeing part is between Gedächtniskirche and Adenauerplatz.
If you don’t want to walk all the way, busses 19 and 29 are going up and down the boulevard. You also can rent rikshas.

Don't forget to visit the adjoining streets as they have a multitude of exotic restaurants. As there are Bleibtreustr., Knesebeckstr., Schlüterstr.

In nearby Europa-Center you'll find one of Berlin's most interesting cklocks. It's the highest building you can see, the one with the Mecedes-star on top.

The Kudamm is a good example for Berlin’s sometimes absurd system of numbering houses. It starts with number 11 and at Lehniner Platz right after number 76 you find number 90.
