Souvenirs and handcraft Germany
© Copyright
Among the souvenirs to take back, think of cuckoo clocks of the Black Forest, Nuremberg toys and Meissen and Bavarian china. In eastern towns, art lovers will hunt for books and music of their dreams. Lastly, those who love the comfort of a good pair of shoes will head straight for Birkenstock.
There are no fixed opening hours for all German shops. They vary slightly from one region to the other. Small traders generally close at 6:30 pm during the week and at 2:00 pm on Saturday. Big shops and shoping centres open Monday to Friday, from 9:30 am to 8:00 pm and Saturday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
