Frankfurt Shopping

There are fun shops in most areas of Frankfurt, but the most popular shopping area is in the centre of the city. The main
pedestrian street Zeil offers two classic department stores, Kaufhof and Karstadt. This is also where you will find the
Zeilgalerie mall with its seven floors and a roof terrace with great views of the city. The westernmost part of Zeil eventually
changes its name to Fressgass. If you are looking for Gucci, Escada and Versace your best bet isto head for Goethestrasse, a more exclusive version of Zeil. Nearby Schillerstrasse has a nice market every Friday morning.

In the Sachsenhausen area, south of the Main river, is a more charming shopping area that caters to younger people. The
main street, Schweizerstrasse, is full of delis, bookshops, trendy cafes and shops like Hype and Bailly Diehl. The general
pace of things is also slower here than over on Zeil. On Saturdays between 8.00-14.00 a large flea market takes over the area around the Museumsufer Embankment.

Those who are looking for funkier shopping should go to the Bornheim area. Bergerstrasse has exciting design, fashion and vintage shops. Go there on a Saturday morning and experience the farmers market by the Uhrtürmchen clock tower. Kontrast on Hanauer Landstrasse 297 in the Ostend area has six floors of modern furniture design in a distinctively East Berlin style building.
