Overview

Shopping The guide was updated: 2024-02-16

Shopping in Cologne can be done easily within walking distance. We suggest starting at the Hauptbahnhof, passing the cathedral and going down Hohe Strasse, a long pedestrian area with many shops. But the most popular shopping street in Cologne is probably Schildergasse, which runs south from the opera house to the Neumarkt.

Just eastwards to the Hohe Strasse, the Ehrenstrasse starts off, a place for people who are looking for something fancy and hip or for an exclusive fashion brand. Not far from here, the Belgian District is well-known for new, young fashion designers.

There is also no shortage of shopping centres with the Cologne Arcaden, the Opern Passagen, the Neumarkt Passage, the Globetrotter and more venues easily reachable from the city centre.
