Shopping at Zeil

Shopping at Zeil

The Zeil is Frankfurt’s main shopping street, running through the city centre with a mix of well-known brands, smaller boutiques, and the modern MyZeil shopping centre. Most of the street is pedestrian-only, making it easy to move between shops, stop for a snack, or people-watch for a while.

MyZeil

MyZeil

Located in the heart of Frankfurt on the bustling Zeil, MyZeil is one of Germany’s largest shopping and leisure centers. Its gigantic curved glass façade makes the building an architectural highlight, worth a visit even if you’re not planning to shop. Inside, you’ll find six levels of shops, dining options, and leisure activities, featuring a mix of international and mid-range brands. And don’t miss the roof terrace, which offers panoramic views of the city.

Goethestraße

Goethestraße

If you’re looking for luxury shopping, Goethestraße is Frankfurt’s most exclusive address. Often called Frankfurt’s 'Rodeo Drive,' this short but prestigious street is home to top international designer boutiques such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada, Hermès, Versace, and Tiffany & Co. Located between the Opera District (Opernplatz) and the Banking Quarter, Goethestraße offers a refined atmosphere of sophistication and style.

Schweizer Straße (Sachsenhausen)

Schweizer Straße (Sachsenhausen)

Located south of the Main River in the vibrant Sachsenhausen district, Schweizer Straße is a charming, character-filled shopping street that appeals especially to younger crowds and those looking for a more relaxed pace. Here, you’ll find a mix of boutiques, independent fashion stores, trendy cafés, delis, and bookshops, alongside small art and design shops.

Berger Straße

Berger Straße

For a more authentic and laid-back shopping experience, head to Berger Straße in Frankfurt’s lively Bornheim district. Less glitzy than Zeil or Goethestraße, this long, tree-lined street is dotted with independent boutiques, design and vintage shops, and creative concept stores, interspersed with cafés, restaurants, and bars that give it a distinctly local charm.

Many boutiques offer discounts of up to 60% on the recommended retail price, so there’s plenty to discover, from fashion and accessories to homeware.
