The Best Place to Shop in Stuttgart, Heidelberg and the Neckar Valley

Background Illustration for Shopping

Stuttgart is a shopper's paradise, from the department stores on the Königstrasse to the boutiques in the Old Town's elegant passages and the factory outlet stores.

Markthalle

Fodor's Choice

The beautiful Art Nouveau Markthalle on Dorotheenstrasse is one of Germany's finest market halls, with a curved glass ceiling for natural light to show off a mouthwatering selection of exotic fresh fruits, spices, meats, cheeses, chocolates, honey, flowers, and hand-made jewelry and crafts. Upstairs is primarily household goods, gift items and seasonal decorations. Check out the huge ceramic fountain, which spouts water from the original well. The restaurant balcony overlooks the action, which starts at 7:30 am weekdays.
