Fashion & Shopping in Cologne

Cologne is one of the most popular shopping venues in Germany. The city’s Schildergasse pedestrian zone attracts 15,000 people an hour at peak shopping times, making it the most popular high street in Germany. Just like the neighbouring Hohe Strasse, it accommodates large department stores and branches of familiar brands.
Exclusive designer shops on the other hand have opened on Mittelstraße and Pfeilstraße. At the end of Schildergasse on the north side of Neumarkt are the covered and linked Olivandenhof and Neumarktpassage shopping centres. Other shopping arcades in the city centre and suburbs make shopping here a pleasure, even when it's raining.
