| Munich |
Munich has an immense central shopping area, a 2-km (1-mi) Fussgängerzone (pedestrian zone) stretching from the train station to Marienplatz and north to Odeonsplatz. The two main streets here are Neuhauserstrasse and Kaufingerstrasse, the sites of most major department stores.
For upscale shopping, Maximilianstrasse, Residenzstrasse, and Theatinerstrasse are unbeatable and contain a fine array of classy and tempting stores that are the equal of any others in Europe.
Schwabing, north of the university, has several of the city's most intriguing and offbeat shopping streets -- Schellingstrasse and Hohenzollernstrasse. Munich's Christmas markets draw from backroom-studio artisans and artists with beautiful and original wares.
Munich is a city of beer, and items related to its consumption are obvious choices for souvenirs and gifts.
If you want to deck yourself out in lederhosen or a dirndl or affect a green loden coat and little pointed hat with feathers, you have a wide choice in the Bavarian capital.
