The Playce
Shopping in the heart of the city
The three-storey, glass-roofed shopping arcade at Potsdamer Platz, now known as “The Playce”, invites visitors to enjoy a shopping experience – and boasts modern architecture designed by star architect Renzo Piano.
The Playce: Shopping Paradise of Superlatives
The new shopping centre is called The Playce: a play on words from the English "play" and "place". You can look forward to a "shopping paradise of superlatives": The offer ranges from supermarkets and drugstores for everyday needs to modern store concepts for technology, sport, fashion and lifestyle. Art installations and events such as readings and live music will make the shopping centre even more attractive.
The mix of fashion boutiques, everyday shopping and themed worlds such as ‘The Streets’ – the hub for streetball, trainers and basketball culture – also attracts a younger crowd. You’ll also find Berlin's largest arcade and the world of illusions at Upside Down. But bookshops and jewellery shops, Peek & Cloppenburg’s first Sustainable Superstore and the round-the-clock NieZuSpäti also invite you to enjoy a spot of shopping. Stroll through the spacious arcades, stop for a coffee or meet up here for lunch.
Conscious Fashion Store and The Streets, an immersive world inspired by urban street art.
New food hub concept
Lovers of fine dining and entertainment are in for a treat: with the Manifesto, Europe’s largest food hub has opened at The Playce. The new food hub concept brings together Berlin-based food start-ups and outlets run by Berlin’s Michelin-starred chefs with cultural and lifestyle events, education and entertainment. Here you’ll find 22 restaurants and four bars, including the award-winning “The Alchemist”, and much more.
