What the public can do

Format Access Tip
Runway shows invitation (professionals) do not expect to get in without accreditation
Public events and exhibitions open to all, tickets depending on the event follow the official programme
Shops and concept stores free many promotions during the week

I found no prices or ticketing for the next edition's public events: the programme is published a few weeks ahead.

How to enjoy it without an invitation

Book a hotel in Mitte or Charlottenburg early: prices rise during fashion week. Visit Bikini Berlin and KaDeWe, then the boutiques of Mitte (see shopping in Berlin).

What to avoid

Do not pay for a runway ticket from an unofficial reseller. Before booking a trip, check the dates on the official website: they can move. January is cold: see Berlin in January.
