More Shopping

Frankfurt has tons of shops including two impressive Gallerias. Goetestr. is known for its shops including Gucci, Tiffany's, and other high-end retailers. We found a couple of local shops well worth visiting:

Erzgebirgische Volkskunst, Tongesgasse 27, sells German-made nutcrackers and other wooden goods. The small shop is wonderful. They carry original wooden music boxes with a base price of $150 Euros.

Affentor Frankfort, Fahrgasse 23, sells handmade cloth computer bags, purses, and totes. Their designs are original. Also all sales assist non-profit organizations. Computer Bags were about $89 Euros. This area is also home to some great contemporary art galleries.

We fell upon a progressive urban neighborhood South of the Main - at Bruckenstr. and Wallstr. - this area is full of pubs for drinking, custom designers for the trend setters, and plenty of off-the-wall tiny shops. Wertsachen, Bruckenstar. 58, is worth a visit.


Finally - the indoor market in Frankfurt is good fun. Here you can find almost anything you could desire to add to your pantry. On the weekends - this place is packed and spills outdoors to the nearby patios.
