Hamburg ShoppingFrom: Hamburg City Guide
ABOVE: Shoppers on Mönckebergstrasse, a.k.a. the "Mö."
When you aren't outfitting your fleet, we suggest that you visit Hamburg shopping areas that cater to middle-class shoppers and ordinary millionaires: MönckebergstrasseThe Mönckebergstrasse and its neighboring streets are home to the city's major department stores. The attractive tree-lined "Mö" is pedestrian-friendly, with wide sidewalks and very little car traffic. (The traffic lanes are used by buses, taxis, and delivery trucks, but other motorized vehicles are prohibited.)
Our own favorite shop is the Thalia-Buchhandlung Spitalerstrasse, a multistory book and media store just off the Mö, which has a good selection of Hamburg travel guides and maps. Jungfernstieg
SchanzenviertelHamburg Tourismus tells me that "the Schanze district, between the St. Pauli and Eimsbüttel boroughs, is a magnet for fans of trendy shopping during the day." Not being jung und hip, I haven't tested the tourist office's claim, but this page (which has translated into English by Google) will help you make up your own mind. Hauptbahnhof
