Heidelberg's shopping streets have carefully restored buildings and lots of pavement cafés and restaurants, making shopping here always a pleasurable experience.Hauptstrasse in the pedestrianised area
The traffic-free Hauptstrasse is one of Europe's prettiest pedestrian precincts. Lined with bistros, cafés and restaurants, it is Heidelberg's top shopping area. Stretching more than a kilometre, all the major international names, brands and styles are represented here.The narrow side streets of the old quarter
The side streets in the old town such as Untere Strasse or in the area around Heiliggeistkirche (Church of the Holy Ghost) offer an eclectic mix of old and new: antiques and avant-garde fashion, Art Nouveau jewellery and old porcelain, the conventional and the quirky for him and for her.
