Charlottenburg was chartered as a town in 1705, named after Sophia Charlotte of Hanover, queen of Prussia, and stayed an independent city until it joined Greater Berlin in 1920.1 Today it is a locality of 130,564 people in the borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, west of the Tiergarten, and Charlottenburg Palace is the largest surviving royal palace in Berlin.1 With Tauentzienstraße, the Kurfürstendamm forms the city’s main shopping area.1

Cafés keep to the grid between the Kurfürstendamm and Kantstraße. Kantstraße has the most, then Knesebeckstraße, Wilmersdorfer Straße and the Kurfürstendamm itself, and many sit within a few blocks of Savignyplatz.

Local tip: At Berliner Kaffeerösterei on Uhlandstraße, a Tasse Kaffee (cup of filter coffee) cost €3.90 in February 2026, a euro less than the cappuccino.6
