Frankfurt offers a whole range of varied shopping possibilities; in the mega-shopping street "Die Zeil", downtown, or for quieter surroundings, in the shopping areas of the different districts.

Shopping downtown

The key spot for shopping in downtown Frankfurt is on Zeil street, with the Zeilgalerie shopping mall and various other stores. Goethe street is also located downtown and here you can enjoy stores carrying international designer labels. Those in need of a snack just need to walk a few meters to find themselves on the 'Freßgass', "glutton alley", to dig into the culinary world. Shopping in town can be topped off by visiting one of the many attractions close by, such as the varied museums, galleries and cafes, all within walking distance.

Shopping in the outer districts

Those interested in shopping further away from the city center should visit the various districts of Frankfurt, Bornheim, Bockenheim or Sachsenhausen. On Berger, Leipziger and Schweizer streets you will encounter many small boutiques, second-hand stores, cafes and a delightful multicultural shopping atmosphere.

Shopping malls

Another alternative are shopping malls, offering a whole range of goods. Several shopping malls can be found somewhat further away from the city center in Nordweststadt or at the airport; downtown the most prominent is the Zeilgalerie with its ultra modern architecture.
