You can easily get to the starting point of your shopping tour by underground line 2 or tram M1. There is a large shopping centre, Schönhauser Allee Arcaden, directly at Schönhauser Allee station. Here you will find branches of large and well-known chains as well as shops for everyday needs such as a drugstore, a craft shop and a pharmacy. But don't miss the neighbourhood shops around Schönhauser Allee.
First of all, it's worth making a detour to Dear Goods (1). Here you will find stylish clothing, accessories and bags that not only look good, but have also been produced ethically and sustainably. The shop's motto: fair, vegan and environmentally friendly - symbolised by the three hearts in the logo. All products are 100% vegan, as leather, wool and silk are completely avoided. Instead, innovative materials such as cork or Tencel are used. The focus is also on the people behind the fashion: DearGoods is committed to fair working conditions and transparent production.
After you have shopped for your new, sustainable favourite piece, head to Vintage Revivals (2): a treasure trove of vintage designer fashion and high-quality pieces that deserve a second life. If you want to revive the 1960s, 70s and 80s, you've come to the right place. Afterwards, it's time for a little sugar to recharge your batteries for the shopping trip. Make a stop at Zuckerberg (3). Feel like a kid in a sweet shop when you enter the shop with its appealing retro look. At the old-fashioned confectionery counter, you can put together a nostalgic sweet bag with liquorice, mouse bacon and sour drops. There is also a large vegan selection available!
In a playful mood, we move on to The Wild Swans (4). There's lots to discover here for children of all ages. The toy shop with its appealingly colourful, lively interior has a wide selection of items for babies, toddlers and schoolchildren. But adults also enjoy the games of skill and parlour games. Another experience for the senses - but in a slightly different way - is Jacky's Teewelt (5). The small tea shop smells heavenly and has all kinds of tea accessories and a wide variety of teas from all over the world, some of which you can buy pre-packaged, while others are bottled directly for you. If you are looking for an unusual cup or teapot, you will find it here. Tea caddies in various designs, which you can have individually filled, are ideal as gifts.
Next stop: YOnkel Ork (6). As the somewhat comical name suggests, it is also colourful, lively and creative here. The concept store has everything you need to make life more fun, colourful and beautiful. From home accessories and stationery to candles and fun toys, everything is here. The right place for anyone who wants to banish boredom from their lives and express their individual style. And as friends of good taste rarely get fed up with shops of this kind, you can then head straight on to Present and Paper (7). Here, too, you will find all kinds of original design, paper and interior items on the programme. The seasonal articles on Christmas are particularly noteworthy, Valentine's Day, Easter and Co.
A little less playful, but no less stylish is Victoria met Albert (8). Inspired by the love between Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, the concept store combines the best of both worlds: British elegance meets Berlin coolness. In addition to perfumes, room fragrances, home accessories and gift items, the range includes high-quality clothing, including organic cotton and linen.
You are now on the final spurt towards Eberswalder Straße. On the way, you can make a stop at honoki (9), a Japanese lifestyle shop. Here, the timeless elegance of Japan meets modern design. From ornate ceramics to fine textiles and stylish accessories - every product tells a story of craftsmanship, tradition and innovation. Here you will not only find beautiful things, but also inspiration for your home or a special gift for lovers of Japanese culture.
Finally, head to Guru-Shop (10), the place to go for handmade furniture from India, delicate lamps from Morocco, fragrant incense sticks from Nepal and colourful textiles from Thailand. Immerse yourself in colourful fabrics and exotic materials. The atmosphere in the two-storey shop exudes the charm of an oriental bazaar, where there is something new to discover at every corner.

In this charming family business, you will find a hand-picked selection of stylish home accessories, practical everyday companions and sustainable kitchen utensils - all selected with attention to detail. In addition to sustainable kitchen equipment, the goodshaus also offers beautiful home accessories, from pastel retro designs to iconic floral prints.
Just a few steps further at wunderwerk (2), you will discover a wide range of fashion that not only looks good, but is also produced sustainably and fairly. The wunderwerk brand concept works according to the motto "more than organic". Attention is paid to environmentally friendly processes, fair working conditions and social responsibility at every stage of production.
Next, turn right onto Oderberger Straße. If you follow it to the end, you will come to the famous Mauerpark. The Mauerpark flea market, which is popular with tourists and locals, takes place there on Sundays. You can already see from this that you have reached the heart of Prenzlauer Berg with Oderberger Straße. Some of the most iconic boutiques can be found here. One of them is Kauf Dich Glücklich (3), a shop that lives up to its promise. In addition to stylish fashion for men and women, you will find lovingly designed home accessories, trendy stationery and small gift ideas. And if all of this hasn't got you feeling 100% happy, the shop on Orderberger Straße is also an ice cream parlour where you can enjoy waffles and ice cream.
Another iconic shop on Oderberg Straße is VEB Orange (4), which specialises in everyday items from the GDR. At VEB Orange in Berlin, you can immerse yourself in the wild 60s and 70s! This lively shop is a real treasure trove for vintage lovers and nostalgia fans. Whether it's posters in retro design, legendary Ostalgie items or miniature TV towers - here you'll find everything that makes the hearts of design and Berlin fans beat faster.
Back on Kastanienallee, it's worth making a detour to OYE Records (5). This legendary record shop is an institution for music lovers and DJs from all over the world. The shelves are bursting with house, techno, hip-hop, soul and jazz - carefully curated by a team that is truly passionate about music. Not only can you browse here, but you can also listen to the records on the spot.
Afterwards, you can enjoy top fashion at Broke + Schön (6), a paradise for trendy but affordable fashion dreams in pastel colours. The carefully selected mix of trendy brands, minimalist elegance and casual streetwear pieces creates a special flair here. The literary theme continues with Love Story of Berlin (7), a well-stocked bookshop that specialises in books in English. Whether English is your mother tongue or you want to practise your language skills by reading English literature, the wide range of novels, guidebooks and children's books will win you over.
A popular speciality shop in Kastanienallee is Mont K (8), which you should pay a visit to if you are interested in outdoor and climbing equipment. This cult Berlin outdoor shop has been supplying adventurers with everything they need for their tours for over 26 years.
If you prefer a more homely than sporty atmosphere, head to Pretty Berlin (9), which opens up a wonderful world of design and home accessories just a few doors down. Instead of classic postcards or standard souvenirs, you will find lovingly designed prints, accessories, jewellery, stationery and home design items by Berlin artists and designers. Each item tells its own little Berlin story and makes your visit to the capital unforgettable. To round off your shopping tour, don't miss Modern Graphics (10)! A place where you can discover drawn stories in various forms, from classic comics to mangas, French BDs and artistic graphic novels.
