Shopping in the heart of Munich
Whether you are a tourist or a new citizen of Munich, most people begin their explorations of the city in the downtown pedestrian zone, which is also a great place for your first shopping spree.
At Marienplatz, on Neuhauser- and Kaufingerstraße you can find branches of nationwide chains, such as Galeria Kaufhof, Karstadt, H&M or C&A, but also a local department store, Ludwig Beck, that was founded in 1874. Maximilian- and Residenzstraße are dominated by expensive designer brands. Famous director Willy Bogner and Aigner Shoes have their stores there.
