Moving up the hip list, Berlin is now one of the most fashionable cities in Europe. So where else would you expect to find designer and high-street stores, stunning architecture and delicious restaurants all under one roof?

Right now there are over 50 brands at Berlin Designer Outlet including adidas, Mango, Strenesse, Rene Lezard, St Emile, CK Jeans, Marc O'Polo and Tommy Hilfiger. Currently under redevelopment, Phase One opened in June 2009. When Phase II opens the outlet will boast over 120 big names — all at permanently reduced prices.

It couldn't be easier to find Berlin Designer Outlet. Just 30 minutes from Berlin, off the B5 motorway at Berliner Ring Road intersection.
