Lonely Planet review for 4711 Perfumery & Gift Shop

A classic gift for mum is a bottle of eau de Cologne, the not terribly sophisticated but refreshing perfume created - and still being produced - in its namesake city. The most famous brand of eau de Cologne is called 4711, named after the number of this house where it was invented. The shop also has a carillon with characters from Prussian lore parading hourly from 09:00 to 21:00.

    Daggy trip back to my childhood

    fiona263 does not recommend this,

    I thought I was so sophisticated at 7 years old with my little bottle of 4711 Eau de Cologne. The shop wasn't really worth a visit but was good for a little nostalgia!
