Money and Shopping in Freiburg
As in most other German cities, the inner city is the place to go shopping. There you will find everything from H&M to shops selling Armani.
Two department stores and several other stores are located on Kaiser-Joseph Strasse, with smaller independent shops in the many back-streets and alleyways. Outside of the city centre one can find several large supermarkets, such as Real, E-Center and Kaufland.
The large Farmer's market in the 'Münsterplatz' (Minster square) at the foot of the 'Münster' (Minster cathedral) is where Freiburgers buy their locally produced flowers, fruit and vegetables as well as enjoy a traditional 'wurst' (German sausage) as a snack. Every weekday (until early afternoon) and Saturday morning, the Münsterplatz is a bustling market of commerce.
Grocery stores: Migros, located in the basement of Karstadt at the north end of Kaiser-Josef-Straße, is the largest one. Penny Markt, located near the University, and Aldi, in the basement of Schwarzwald City, are among the cheapest. Kaufland to the north of the city on Waldkircher Strasse has an impressive range. Treff discount supermarkets are also excellent for the budget conscious.
Due to the large city centre-based university, many large bookstores can also be found in the heart of Freiburg, selling both new books and second-hand.
The 'Kartoffelmarkt' (potato market), situated close to the 'Stadttheater' (city theatre) has a couple of stalls selling alternative hippie-style clothing, jewellery and accessories every weekday morning.
