Wiesbaden shopping is filled with many different shopping streets and plenty of retail opportunities, even for the most die-hard shopaholic.
Wiesbaden Shopping Tip
Most German shops aren’t open on Sundays, so if you are in town for a weekend trip, be sure to get your purchases made on Saturday!
In Wiesbaden, hours are generally Mondays through Fridays, from 10 am to 7 pm, and Saturdays from 10 am to 4pm.
Langgasse and Kirchgasse Shopping District
This Wiesbaden shopping zone is a pedestrian area with a large variety of retail opportunities. The shopping streets of Langgasse and Kirchgasse stretch out for about one kilometer. There are large chain stores as well as smaller, privately-owned boutiques.
The pedestrian zone was recently renovated with sparkling new pavement and many newly added restaurants for a break during your long shopping days. And there’s also the Mauitiusplatz. This plaza has also been revitalized and features a lovely fountain and even more restaurants.
Before you leave the pedestrian area, be sure to explore the little side streets that jut out of the main ones. You may find some hidden treasures as you stroll through the quirky boutiques, tea houses and galleries. :-)
