by nicolaitan Woolworth's is a name from the American past - the last one of a nationwide chain closed decades ago. This store recalls those memories right down to the facade. Closely packed displays with narrow aisles feature cheap clothing, appliances, cosmetics, and packaged food like chips candy soda and tinned fish, just like in days of yore. The included image was exposed to capture the bustle of Konigstrasse near the Frauentor with St. Lorenz in the distance and by serendipity includes the storefront on the right side. We found this store an invaluable source for cheap items - toothpaste and cosmetic items in large sizes we were unable to bring on the plane, a cheap very light pocketbook for P to carry with very light being the operative word, a simple scarf for chilly evenings. The prices were extremely low in keeping with the quality offered. The staff spoke nothing but German but seemed delighted that Americans had actually found their way inside. Leave a Comment Theme: Department StoreDirections: The store is easily found, two blocks into the Old City on Konigstrasse from the Frauentor and the main train and tram station.

Finally a store for which I can accurately use the word funky. This small store on a side street offers unusual and imaginative decorative items and accessories including glassware, uniquely design clothing for women with imports from Italy featured, smaller different-looking furniture pieces (lamps, small indoor fountains), and creative jewelry - funky and exclusive. There are some ceramic and porcelain pieces as well as a few rather strange sculptures. The owner and her daughter run the store and are very helpful. They appear to deal only with smaller suppliers they know well. Prices are high, but not unreasonably so. Proserpina ended up with a short high waisted red jacket from an Italian designer unlike anything she had previously seen ($180 US) and for which she has received several favorable comments. Removed somewhat from the important Alstadt shopping streets, Prager Kunstsalon is a major recommendation in an unanticipated location.

 Pottery by AnnaLupilla All year through, you can find distinct markets in the city, reaching from fish to pottery to spring to fall market and don't you forget the most famous of them all: the Christkindlesmarkt in december!
Depending on the market's topic you can buy any item for the household on the Herbstmarkt, fish, pottery, Christmas articles and whatever you dream of.
0,50€ to 1,000,000€ Leave a Comment

Three pedestrianized shopping streets in the Lorenz side of the Pegnitz diverge from the white tower and end on the Konigstrasse. The Konigstrasse is the "main drag" with lots of hotels, restaurants, and low-end shopping. On both sides of the river numerous kiosks sell fruit and vegetables, drinks, and cheap tourist items. The three most important shopping streets are Breite Gasse nearest the Frauentor, Karolinenstrasse in the middle, and Kaisserstrasse on the banks of the river. The first has the least prestigious shopping and the Kaisserstrasse houses all the famous and expensive stores like Prada, Gucci, Marc O'Polo, Villeroy and Boch, etc. A nice display of silks, furs, and leathers can be found at Rene Lezard. From Kaisserstrasse one can cross a bridge to the cute Troedelmarkt island with a wide cobbled plaza lined by very upscale local vendors and cute cafes. We visited several of the shoppes on Kaisserstrasse - very elegant stores, quiet ambience, appropriately attired saleshelp, soft background music. The street itself is very pretty, lined by the fine stores, cobblestoned, with decorative streetlamps, fountains, and small statues. Store selections and displays were exquisite but relatively small and seemed expensive even when we allowed for the sorry state of the US dollar. At least in Gucci, Proserpina felt the offerings were "last year"s styles". On the Sebald side of the river, stores were scattered between other businesses and buildings like the Prager Kunstsalon described above, and searching for shopping in this area is hit-or-miss.

 Lebkuchen everywhere! by tini58de Lebkuchen is some kind of gingerbread and it is THE thing to buy in Nuremberg!! For more than six hundred years Nuremberg has been famous as the center of German production. Formerly situated on a major trade route from the Orient to northern Europe, it was surrounded by forests buzzing with beehives. Nuremberg's bakers took advantage of these ingredients to make the cakes that became known as Lebkuchen. Their enterprise was so successful that in 1643 these special bakers (known as Lebküchner) formed a guild to limit competition and control the quantity and quality of their wares. Nuremberg Lebkuchen were of such high quality (and based on such costly ingredients) that they were accepted as a payment for city taxes and sent as gifts to nobles, princes, and heads of state.

 C & A, home of the coolest pants that I own by cynthi C & A isn't special to Nürnberg, I found them all over Germany - even in Ansbach! Somehow, though, when my sister Beth and I made a stop in C & A to find "split pants" we ended up staying there for four hours! The time just flew by, it was amazing.
At C & A, my sister and I went through all the floors (four or five) and our favourite was the one with the clothes from Clockhouse. Ahh, slit pants! We also checked out the top floor, and Beth bought a traditional Bavarian blouse that she has since incorporated into an outfit for the Texas Renaissance Festival. I bought a traditional pair of shoes, that I love (but not as much as the pants!)
I got some serious deals at C & A. Buying last season's clothes saved me about 50%; a 35 euro pair of pants cost 19 euro! Why didn't I buy more slit pants? *sigh* I guess I'll have to go back and buy some more. Leave a Comment Theme: Women's ClothesDirections: The C&A I went to was connected to a train station, one or two stops from the hauptbahnhof.
