Heidelberg's old quarter offers an abundance of fantastic shopping. Brimming with lovingly restored buildings, restaurants and pavement cafés, it's just perfect for a relaxing stroll around the shops. Hauptstrasse in the pedestrianised area
The traffic-free Hauptstrasse is one of Europe's prettiest pedestrian precincts. Lined with bistros and restaurants, it is Heidelberg's number one shopping street. Stretching for more than a kilometre, all the major international names, brands and styles are represented here. Narrow side streets in the old quarter
The narrow side streets in the old quarter, such as the Untere Strasse or those around the Church of the Holy Spirit, offer an eclectic mix of old and new, with everything from avant-garde fashion and Art Nouveau jewellery to antiques, old porcelain and quirky gift ideas.
