If shopping is on your to do list for your Berlin jaunt then Charlottenburg is for you. During the Cold War this was the glittering heart of Berlin, and it still has glamour and prestige, with beautiful villas and impressive monuments - and now great art and Berlin’s largest shopping strip, the Kurfürstendamm as well. From this introduction you might think the 5 best hotels in Charlottenburg might be closer to the top end of the pricing scale, but our Guru’s list of recommendations is very affordable.
As well as art galleries and boutique shopping, Charlottenburg has some very fine restaurants and bars, which are reassuringly filled with locals as well as visitors. As far as headline sights go the main attraction is Scholss Charlottenburg and the glorious park surrounding it, but the Berlin Zoo, the Museum Berggruen (known for its Picassos and Matisses), and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church are also in Charlottenburg. Furthermore this is where you can visit The Story of Berlin museum, a multimedia museum documenting this city’s history.
