Around the Elisenbrunnen
The Elisenbrunnen and its surroundings – one of the best places in Aachen to start a shopping spree.
In addition to the ambient mix of classical architecture and the ultra-modern Glaskubus espresso bar, this area boasts an abundance of shops selling quality jewellery, fine lingerie and exquisite confectionery.
Adalbertstraße is, of course, the liveliest feature: a classic pedestrian precinct with large department stores and well-known brand boutiques offering something for everyone.
But the smaller side streets are also worth exploring. The specialised shops in Wirichsbongardstraße, for example, are genuine highlights in the retail landscape.
Behind the historical fountain monument, the idyllic Elisengarten offers the perfect place to catch your breath while enjoying a cappuccino, before you continue, refreshed and relaxed, with your next round of retail therapy, for example in nearby Ursulinerstraße and Hartmannstraße.
