Shopping in Dusseldorf

Mention shopping in Düsseldorf and the 'Kö' (short for Königsallee) is inevitably in the next breath. This handsome leafy boulevard, bisected by an ornamental canal and fountains, hosts top designer shops such as Cartier, Lacoste, Gucci, Chanel, Hugo Boss, Joop and Prada.

Key areas: 

The Altstadt features small, individual shops and local specialities, such as the Mustard Museum and Shop, Berger Strasse 29, and the Gut & Gerne Schokolade chocolate shop and café at Burgplatz 3-5. There is a high-quality food market on Carlsplatz daily with some mouth-watering gourmet items.

Shopping centres: 

Off the Kö, the Stilwerk mall is a temple to modern interior design, while nearby the striking Schadow Arkaden mall is home to more designer outlets.

The Schadowstrasse is known as ‘Germany's shopping mile', while Carsch-Haus, Heinrich-Heine-Platz 1, occupying a splendid Jugendstil building, is Düsseldorf’s top department store.

Opening hours: 

Shop opening times in Düsseldorf are Monday to Saturday 0900-1830, with late opening on Thursday evening. Some shops close early on Saturday afternoon.
