Neighborhoods in Berlin

"Charlottenburg is often considered a different planet, let alone district. In fact, it was officially its own city until the 1920s, is still referred to as City West by many, and has maintained the most obviously different aesthetic to former East Berlin than anywhere else. Its bustling commercial infrastructure, especially along the grand Ku’damm boulevard, is awash with upscale restaurants, luxurious hotels, and fashion stores like Versace and Gucci, making it sometimes feel more like Paris or London than Berlin. Although many of its side streets are lined with wealthy villas and expensive antique and furniture shops, and the nightlife is definitely limited, it does have some excellent restaurants (including many trendy Asian ones along scruffier Kantstrasse), some top-notch culture like the C/O Berlin photo gallery and the Deutsche Oper (the opera), plus big-hitter sights like Wilhelm Memorial Church and Charlottenburg Palace." - MATADOR_NETWORK
