58's Buy Heidt
It pays to move off the beaten track when you discover a fashion boutique of this quality. Speaking of paying, it stocks international designers such as Yohji Yamamito, Helmut Lang and Ann Demeulemeester, as well as Stone Island, Jil Sander and Dolce & Gabbana. No wonder CQ and Vogue dropped in for a closer look.
-
Bogner
For sportswear that's almost too good to sweat in, Bogner is your brand, as many a stylish German jock will inform you. They also have a rather dapper range of women's and children's clothes with all sorts of accessories to complete the 'B' look.
-
Bornheimer Wochenmarkt
This farmer's market is a great place to stock up on fresh healthy rations for a hike in the woods, so good they do it twice a week! Met someone you need to impress? They have fresh flowers for next to nothing. As for cheese, don't buy it anywhere else. From an excellent range of markets, this fresh fruit and vegetable emporium is many people's favourite.
-
Ehinger-Schwarz
Goethestrasse neighbours Cartier and Tiffany take care of the classics, allowing upstarts like this to spread their wings with experimental jewellery. A fortunate product of Frankfurt's talented young jewellery scene, its patented Charlotte and Tipin ranges cleverly include replaceable bits to create not one but several decorative pieces.
-
Frankfurt Dippemarkt
You could almost mistake the old lady who runs this shop full of wacky beer mugs for one of the items on sale. Some of the pitchers stand over 1m (3.28ft) tall, a gift that would make many a man happy. This is a treasure trove of traditional pottery, and a definite port of call if you need a quirky gift.
-
Galeria Kaufhof
You can find homewares, clothing, toys and electronics elsewhere in Frankfurt, but not under a roof as large as the one at Galeria Kaufhof. It also sells a great range of wines and spirits.
-
Hanne Kley
Toys here are somewhat on the expensive side but then you won't see these toys in K-mart. The expertly crafted, sturdy wooden toys are more like collectors' items than childrens' playthings. Most of the stock here will have some appeal to adults and, unsurprisingly, toy collectors.
-
Hertie
You may see these gourmet foods and ingredients in other shops around Frankfurt but not under one roof as in the basement floor at Hertie. The cheese counter is to die for and the range of Italian pastas, balsamic vinegars and olive oils will bowl you over. Also the place to go for Asian ingredients.
-
Kleinmarkthalle
This huge covered hall was the first food market in post-war Frankfurt selling fruit, vegetables, meats, fish and hot food. Stalls sell Italian, Turkish, Chinese and German food, and you can get salads and fresh fruit juices as well as wine and beer. The Gref Völsings Rindswurst (beef sausage) stand is an institution. At the western end of the hall is a large mural depicting impressions of Frankfurt.
-
Land In Sicht
This little gem doesn't stock many English-language books, but is worth mentioning as a specialist in travel literature of the intellectual kind. The name means 'land in sight'. Readings and book signings are held regularly.
-
Plöger
Tempting, titillating and tasting as delicious as it all looks, the finest tinned, smoked and bottled goodies can be found here to bend the will of the most tempered self-caterer. Try a 'real' frankfurter sausage and the American version will never taste the same again.
-
REWE
Near the hostel in Sachsenhausen, this branch of the trusty supermarket chain formerly called HL Markt is handily placed for self-caterers.
-
Saturn Hansa
This three-storey electrical good specialist stocks a heap of appliances, but on the top floor has the most comprehensive and one of the cheapest CD selections in Frankfurt. The jazz and blues corner and the classical music section are impressive and, best of all, there are plenty of play stations where you can pre-listen to any song.
-
Schaumainkai (Flea Market)
There's a great flea market (Schaumainkai) every Saturday morning along Museumsufer, or Museum Embankment, named due to its high concentration of museums. You'll also find plenty of private art galleries south of the museums, selling work by local and international artists.
-
Schiller Passage
Hidden behind the stock exchange, this delightful mini-mall will surprise you with smart art, avante-garde ladies' fashion and an esoteric bookshop.
