When I visited Berlin there was major construction in this area that made the scenery look a little dull. All you could see in the street was constriction material and screens to block views. However, it was nice to walk down the street and window shop just to say you did.
There is a new subway line under construction scheduled to be finished later then 2020. Only a path, not a destination.
If you want to buy something very expensive, this is the area. Not only you will find luxury brands, but also beautiful monuments. Unfortunately, there are constructions taken place, so, it can be dusty and noisy.
This well-known street was a major disappointment to us. Apparently they are building a new U-Bahn station and this makes it an area to avoid! A lot of construction, detours, etc... I don't know when it's supposed to be finished, but I would suggest to avoid the place until they do!
Currently there are so many construction works going on that you won't have too much fun seeing it and walking past. But could be nice after it`s all finished.
What should have been one of my top 10 things to see in Berlin, is temporarily scared by all of the construction work currently taking place. However don't let this put you off as there is still plenty to enjoy including planning a return trip once all the works are complete.
We enjoyed the walk from Alexanderplatz all the way to the Brandenberg gate.
Its only about 1.5-2 miles. Its probably a lovely walk in warm weather, and without half the views being blocked by the construction works.
They are building a new station and a line extension to the underground.
Interesting shops and you can branch off to other areas...

Nonetheless, it was clear that this is a charming boulevard, not as dynamic or exciting as the Champs Elysee, but still lovely....

A new line linking Brandenburg Gate and Alexander Platz is scheduled for completion in September 2013. It will have three intermediate stations:
1 "Unter den Linden" (where existing line from Franzosische Strasse to Friedrich Strasse) crosses Unter den Linden. Note the existing line between the two above named is closed by the civil engineering works until the new line opens,...
