Königstraße

Königstraße begins across the street from the central station; from there it will lead you past the Schlossplatz and into the very heart of Stuttgart for a shopping extravaganza like none other. This pedestrian street is lined with specialty boutiques, flagship stores, restaurants, cafes and numerous little hidden treasures. Königstraße is renowned not only as the city's longest pedestrian avenue, but also as one of the country's most impressive shopping esplanades. Whether you're in the mood for a shopping spree or a stroll, Königstraße is the place to be. For shopaholics and window-shoppers alike, Königstraße is akin to a carnival of delights, while the rest can savor traditional German or international cuisines, or settle in with a glass of wine to enjoy a bit of people watching. The street is not only the city's premier shopping destination, but is also a historic site with a long and colorful past, evidence of which is interwoven with contemporary additions.
