Shop till you drop

Konigsallee and Schadowstraße are the two main streets where most shopping centres are located. While Konigsallee houses most of the luxury brands and boutiques (Swarovski, Victorinox, Louis Vuitton, etc.), Schadowstraße has many malls (Karstadt, Galeria Kaufhof, Saturn, etc.). Dusseldorf Altstadt (literally meaning the Old Town) is no less when it comes to shopping. While food and drinks are the highlights of this area, there are many small but exquisite stores selling some of the finest souvenirs and art pieces. Custom-made gift centres can be found here too.
Besides, if you are one of those who would want to relish the real shopping experience at flea markets, then Carlsplatz is the place to go to. With an amazing variety of spreads, fruits, vegetables, old books, jewellery and more, it is a one-stop shopping venue. Other areas for shopping can be found in and around Friedrichstraße. You can find things that are used daily in the big supermarkets and drug stores here. Some of the best and reasonable salons are also located in the area.
