Most visited for shopping: Schildergasse

Schildergasse is definitely Cologne’s best-known shopping street and also one of the most-visited shopping streets in Germany. The reason why is that you can find all the cool brands like Desigual, Adidas, Puma, Tommy Hilfiger, Primark, Galeria Kaufhof, Zara and many more. My absolute favorite is TK Maxx, though. Anyway, after shopping, you can also check out Cologne’s Hardrock Café at the very end of Schildergasse, to drink and forget about every penny you have spent.

On your shopping journey in Schildergasse, you will also see a huge shop made of glass, which is called the Weltstadthaus. And that store, my friends, is the Peek & Cloppenburg clothing store, which you should also check out.
