Les meilleures boutiques mode et cadeaux Hamburg

Timetable

Sunday is a closing day for stores: for supermarkets as well as for small stores and big brands. If you want to shop on Sunday, the Edeka at the central station is still open, but you have to be prepared for a very long queue at the checkout.

Public holidays vary from state to state in Germany. These differences are the result of Germany's decentralized history and its religious divisions between Protestants and Catholics. With only 10 public holidays in a year, Hamburg is one of the Länder with the fewest.

Budget & Tips

You can pay by card in all stores in Hamburg. The prices are not much different from those in the rest of Western Europe. To find the big international brands, go to Mönckebergstraße

Sales

Since 2004, sales can be organized at will and are not limited to seasonal goods. However, it is common to continue to hold seasonal sales at the same times as before. Generally: mid-June and January-February.

What's very local

The souvenir stores, which are otherwise rather rare in Hamburg, have a special emphasis on marine-related items. If you want to bring back a gift, you can choose one of the imported products that make the port rich: coffee, tea, chocolate, etc.
