    KaDeWe

    Grab a bite at the food department on the sixth floor of KaDeWe. The baked chicken or a slice from the champagne brand bar makes for a perfect early snack.

    El Dorado

    Walk five minutes to El Dorado. Find a seat outside to wait for the sun. The Spanish steakhouse is open until 23:00, so you can linger over a drink or tapas while the light fades.

    El Dorado

    Watch the sun set toward the SW. The outdoor seating gives you a clear view of the sky changing color over the Charlottenburg skyline.
