Of the many things to do in Berlin when you book with Gomio, shopping is one of the most sought for. Each district in the city has its own commercial hub, the most central being the busy avenue of Kurfurstendamm, in Charlottenburg, home to many Berlin attractions. On its 4 kilometres shoppers can find a range of clothes shops, department stores and the usual top designer outlets, such as Channel.

A more affordable option is Friedrichshain, which hosts many record and design stores, along with young designers’ shops selling clothes that you will not find anywhere else. For more trendy and flashy fashion, pick the map Berlin and head to the multicultural district of Kreuzberg or to the fashionable Hackescher Markt, in Mitte, which is also a cultural hub full with cafes, clubs and independent-run cultural centres. If you enjoy browsing through flea markets, don’t miss the big ones at Strasse des 17 Juni and Mauerpark (on Sundays). Gomio has plenty of fantastic hostels in these areas if it’s different and original shopping that you are after.
