The combination of many individual specialist shops, large department stores and various chain stores ensures that customers have the widest possible choice.

Around the Minster and in the historic quarters there is a wide selection of unusual specialist shops, whereas the large department stores and various chain stores are found mainly in the Hirschstrasse, the largest of the shopping streets. By the way, according to an independent study undertaken in 2006, Hirschstrasse is currently one of the top ten most popular shopping streets in Germany.

An interesting option for parents with small children is the centrally located “Kinderpark”, offering child care without prior appointment for parents wishing to enjoy a few hours shopping without the little ones.
