Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf is the traditional centre of western
Berlin, and one of the city’s most interesting and beautiful
districts. With 310,000 residents, it is a city in itself and
known for its many-sided, open and vibrant character, which
also makes it a favourite address for artists, celebrities,
politicians and diplomats.
Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf unites
tradition with the future: it is close to the Federal
Chancellery and Parliament, Tegel Airport, the new train
station, and the sights in the historical centre of Berlin.
Most of the city’s accommodations are also located here, making
it an ideal place to stay for business travellers, trade show
visitors and tourists.
Those looking to buy that something special will not be
disappointed:
Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf is home to Berlin’s largest
continuous retail area. Art lovers will be in their element as
well.
Berlin‘s trade shows take place at the International Congress-
Centrum (ICC) and exhibition grounds, and the Berlin TV

opposite the trade show area. Two large universities, the
Technische Universität Berlin and the University of the Arts,
make the area an academic centre as well. The Olympiastadium (Olympic
Stadium) and the Waldbühne (Forest Theatre) are top venues for
international live acts.
