Shopping in Freiburg
Freiburg, the main centre of southern Baden, is not a hectic shopping city - it loses none of its peaceful charm on Saturdays. The main hub of activity is the pedestrian zone in the Old Quarter (Altstadt) which tempts in tourists for a wander and a spot of shopping: it contains department stores, specialist shops, boutiques, arcades and markets. The most southerly city in Germany displays southern flair, and goods spill out from the shops onto the pavements and into the arcades. More intimate, narrower streets and alleys feed off the two main shopping streets, Kaiser-Joseph-Straße and Bertold-/Salzstraße.
