Money and Shopping in Brunswick (Germany)
Brunswick has a lot of options for shopping for a city its size, making it one of two major shopping locations in Lower Saxony (the other one being Hanover). Basically, shopping opportunities in Brunswick can more or less be broken down into three sections.
Schloss-Arkaden is a large shopping mall located in the re-built facade of old Brunswick Palace. It is Brunswick's main shopping spot, boasting over 150 shops and stores, and attracting people from Lower Saxonay and neighboring Saxony-Anhalt. The mall's parking garage is conveniently located in the center of Brunswick's downtown area, making it a good spot to park, especially on weekends when the city is crowded.
The downtown shopping area is roughly deliniated by Lange Strasse, Bohlweg, Bruchtorwall, and Güldenstrasse. Many shops and eateries can be found within, such as:
Mini-mall City Point accommodates over 40 shops on five floors.
The shopping area features three shopping passages. Welfenhof connects Packhof and Lange Strasse, and is home to a recommended tobacco store and one of Brunswick's finest cheese delicatessen. Burgpassage hosts a variety of stores on two floors. When walking towards Burgpassage from the Wrestlers' Fountain, turn left before entering it to get into Schlosspassage. This rather small passage will lead you to night club Tango.
Brunswick-based fashion chain New Yorker's flagship store (Schuhstraße 27, 38100 Brunswick) is located in the downtown shopping area. The building is hard to miss due to Northern Germany's largest video screen.
German department store chain Karstadt has three branches in Brunswick. The main branch offers higher quality clothing, stationaries, toys, etc. The basement contains an extensive grocery and deli. The branch Gewandhaus carries books, consumer electronics, chinaware, etc. Brunswick souvenirs are sold on the first floor. The branch Sporthaus sells sporting goods.
A good address for books is book store Graff , close to Welfenhof has a wide selection on books about Brunswick. They also have English books in stock. Read your latest purchase in their café, overlooking the Sack shopping street from their third floor.
When shopping for electronics, Mediamarkt on Lange Strasse is a good address.
Nestled in the shadow of Schloss-Arkaden lies Magniviertel , the only Medieval neighborhood that survived WII more or less intact. The small timber-framed buildings house little art shops, wine stores, pawn shops, and stores selling health food. Great for a relaxed stroll on an otherwise busy Saturday. In summer, sit down on one of the bars or cafés and watch people play Boules in the yard of St.Magni church on a Saturday afternoon.
Department store Galeria Kaufhof, right next to Schloss-Arkaden is on the other side of Bohlweg, so it is technically not part of the main shopping district any more, but it neither fits in with the small stores of Magniviertel. Most notably, they boast the Brunswick Lions fan shop and also carry a small selection of Eintracht Braunschweig fan articles.
