From the Theatre to the Suermondt-Ludwig Museum
If you’re strolling down into town along prestigious Theaterstraße with its magnificent buildings, you’ll see works of art, jewellery and designer furniture in the shop windows on your way. And then, it’s “curtain up” for the main cultural event – shopping around the Theatre.
Near this temple of the muses, Kapuzinergraben and Franzstraße invite you to explore further. For globetrotters there are high-quality suitcases and other travelling companions. And if you’re looking for clever ideas for presents, this is where you’ll find them. The side streets around here also have plenty to offer.
In Harscampstraße and Gottfriedstraße, for example, the focus is on specialities – here you can marvel at antique jewellery, stylish handbags and second-hand fashion.
There’s just as much lively variety waiting for you around the venerable Suermondt-Ludwig Museum. Near this building, which houses works by great artists like Rembrandt, Kaiserplatz, Stiftstraße and Wilhelmstraße offer exciting views of young fashion and colourful decoration ideas.
If you pause in the shade of the Kugelbrunnen fountain and look towards Kaiserplatz, you’ll see the „Aquis Plaza“, Aachen’s latest, ultra-modern shopping centre. There, you’ll find 130 shops on 29,000 square metres offering everything the shopper’s heart desires.
