Maison Frédéric: The Kurfürstendamm is at your feet here! Tall plane trees line the magnificent street and lovingly renovated old buildings provide pleasant shade for strollers in the summer months. Millions of lights illuminate the street and wide sidewalks in the winter months. Here, Berlin is a cosmopolitan city, sophisticated and cosmopolitan, and fast cars sparkle at the roadside. In the summer months, the cafés and restaurants move onto the sidewalk with chairs and tables – then the motto is: see and be seen. Along Berlin’s most magnificent shopping street and in the immediate vicinity of Maison Frédéric, there are green spaces and cozy squares. Hochmeisterplatz with its sunbathing lawn is a popular meeting place in summer. There are benches and a playground around the square. One corner further on, you can enjoy culture, as the well-known Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz shows internationally acclaimed productions by directors such as Marius von Mayenburg, Armin Petras and Simon McBurney. Today, the Schaubühne is surrounded by your favorite Italian restaurant, florists and there are rental cars everywhere to get around the city quickly. Bus routes and the subway are also within walking distance. And at any time of year, Grunewald and Wannsee offer a relaxing change from urban city life.
