To the west of the city there is Kurfürstendamm, possibly the most celebrated shopping haven in Berlin: 200,000 square metres of flagship stores, upmarket brands, and international style. For more hipster and indie shoppers, there are tonnes of temporary, independent retailers at Bikini Berlin, Breitscheidplatz. Naturally, there is also a rooftop terrace here with lovely views of the neighbouring zoo!

These can be great for helping you get settled in before finding your permanent residence. Prenzlauer Berg is probably the most family-friendly area of all, with a plethora of parks, schools, and activities for the kids.
Can I live in Berlin without speaking German?
-If you’re only in Berlin for a short stay, no one will expect you to pick up the language. In fact, over the long-term you’ll still get by without major problems. More than many cities, Berlin’s population has exceptional English proficiency and wherever you go - restaurants, supermarkets, theatres - the staff are more than likely fluent in English. This is especially true in central locations, while further from the city more German proficiency would be expected.
