Discovering cities also means doing something nice for yourself. Your life is made more beautiful by things which are more than simple everyday items – e.g. beautiful jewellery or the unusually soft scarf from the designer boutique, valuable pieces from the antique shop or original artwork from the small gallery.

Schleswig-Holstein’s cities offer you all the opportunity you need for extensive “shopping tours”. You can take your time in getting to know them all, from the small shops to the large department stores – without a doubt you will find something which is just to your shopping taste. You can stroll through narrow side streets, promenade along the boardwalk or keep an eye out for large and small gifts and souvenirs in modern shopping centres. Downtown Kiel , for example, is where you find Germany ’s largest shopping mall – more than 80 specialty shops turn shopping into a stunning experience. Or walk slowly through Hüxstrasse in Lübeck. Numerous galleries, book shops and wine dealers, plus comfortable cafés and restaurants await you there. Take a shopping excursion through romantic courtyards right here in the middle of the historic Old Town of Flensburg. In summary: shopping on the coasts is simply a lot of fun.
