Geek shopping in Berlin?

Question

I am going to Berlin for Easter. Can you tell me where I can find electronic stuff like components, ICs, developer boards etc? Also I want to look for some nice tabletop games. What are my chances to find open shops during the Holiday?

Answer 1

K+M is usually very comprehensive, so I doubt it if the two names I am going to give you are going to help, but try:

HD Computer (near Hermannplatz)

Conrad (also near Hermannplatz)

While you say that Media Markt is totally off the mark, you may want to visit the huge MediaMarkt in the Alexa shopping centre, pretty amazing.

Most shops will not be open during Easter.

Answer 2

MediaMarkt has electronic stuff.  So does ProMarkt.  Any big department store has some stuff like that, too, like Karstadt.
