Nuremberg Shopping

Shopping in Nuremberg

  1. Old Town

    Nuremberg was one of the first German towns in the mid-20th century to clear a pedestrian path through the city for shoppers. Consequently, it has several established strips of department stores and smaller boutiques. These are concentrated around the Breite Gasse and Karolinenstrasse regions near Lorenzkirche.

    Farmers Market

    Sample a little of what Bavarian farmers dedicate themselves to producing: fresh fruit and vegetables, miles of the famous local sausages, meat, baked goods, cheese and other palate-pleasing delights. The red-and-white sunshades set against the fresh flower stalls make this an all-round sensual delight.

    Some of Nuremberg's best traditional gingerbread cookies are made by Lebkuchen Schmidt, whose shop windows are piled high with decorative metal tins.
