Friedrichstrasse
- Category: Neighborhoods/Streets
- Location: Mitte
Fodor's Review:
The once-bustling street of cafés and theaters of prewar Berlin has risen from the rubble of war and Communist neglect to reclaim the crowds with shopping emporiums.
Heading south from the train station Friedrichstrasse, you'll pass hotels, bookstores, and, south of Unter den Linden, the car showrooms of the Lindencorso and several upscale clothing stores. Standing at the corner of Französische Strasse ("French Street") is the French department store Galeries Lafayette (Französische Str. 23. 030/209-480). French architect Jean Nouvel included an impressive steel-and-glass funnel at its center, which is surrounded by four floors of expensive clothing and luxuries as well as a food department with counters offering French cuisine.
