One of the best
cities in Germany to shop around in is without a doubt, Frankfurt.
There are various areas where stores and shops abound.
The
most important are those selling furs and antiquities; crystal
ware and photographic and optical goods are also great options.
Düsseldorf,
fashion and design centre, features "Kö" boulevard. The
Königsallee is one of the largest and grandest
avenues in Germany , lined with chestnut trees and all sorts
of boutiques. All haute couture fashion houses
have one of their boutiques on the Kö, one of the most expensive
shopping avenues in the country.
The "löden"
coat, very similar to the famous Austrian article of clothing,
is typical of the Bavarian region.
In Berlin
you can usually find almost anything, although
prices are usually quite high. The German capital has several
department stores such as the Kurfürstendamm ,
with over 1,000 stores especially catering for international
label clothing.
In the
old East Berlin area you will be sure
to find interesting local crafts, as well as those from
nearby countries, such as Poland or Russia.
