===Shopping streets=== [[File:Frankfurt Am Main-Zeil-Ansicht vom Maintower am fruehen Abend-20110328.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Zeil]], Frankfurt's central shopping street]] *'''[[Zeil]]''' – Frankfurt's central shopping street is a mile long and has been a shopping destination for more than a century. Only the western half of Zeil is pedestrianized. [[MyZeil]] is a stereotypical shopping mall.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/insider-guide-frankfurt/index.html |author=Joe Yogerst |title=Visiting Frankfurt? Insiders share tips |publisher=CNN Travel|date=25 March 2017}}</ref> Three more shopping malls occupy the Zeil: UpperZeil (replacing the [[Zeilgalerie]], which was demolished in 2016), [[Metro AG|Galeria Kaufhof]] and [[Arcandor|Karstadt]], as well as large fashion retail clothing stores from [[Peek & Cloppenburg]] and [[C&A]]. During the month before Christmas, the extended pedestrian-only zone is host to [[Frankfurt Christmas Market]], one of the largest and oldest Christmas markets in Germany. Zeil is bordered by two large public squares, [[Hauptwache (Frankfurt am Main)|Hauptwache]] in the west and [[Konstablerwache]] in the east. It is the second most expensive street for shops to rent in Germany after the [[Kaufingerstraße]] in Munich. 85 percent of the shops are retail chains such as [[H&M]], [[Saturn (store)|Saturn]], [[Esprit Holdings|Esprit]], [[Zara (retailer)|Zara]] or [[NewYorker]]. *'''[[Goethestraße]]''' – Frankfurt's shopping destination for prestigious luxury shops like [[Louis Vuitton]], [[Prada]], [[Gucci]], [[Tiffany & Co.|Tiffany]], [[Giorgio Armani]], [[Versace]], [[Cartier SA|Cartier]], [[Burberry]], [[Vertu]] and [[Bulgari]]. *'''[[Freßgass]]''' – (officially ''Kalbächer Gasse'' and ''Große Bockenheimer Straße'') is a central pedestrian-only street section between Börsenstraße and Opernplatz. The name translates as "feeding alley" because of its high concentration of gastronomy, but lately prestigious shops (e.g., [[Apple Store]], [[Hugo Boss]], [[Porsche Design Group|Porsche Design]]) have moved here due to the lack of space in the neighboring [[Goethestraße]], displacing old, established restaurants, butchers and delicatessens. *'''Berger Straße''' – Frankfurt's longest shopping street. It starts in the city center, runs through [[Nordend, Frankfurt|Nordend]] and [[Bornheim (Frankfurt)|Bornheim]] and ends in [[Seckbach (Frankfurt am Main)|Seckbach]]. The street is less crowded than the Zeil and offers a greater variety of smaller shops, restaurants and cafés. *'''Leipziger Straße''' – Central shopping street in the Bockenheim district starting at Bockenheimer Warte going towards West. High density of shops for daily needs. *'''Braubachstraße''' – In the [[Altstadt (Frankfurt am Main)|Altstadt]] district, close to the historic sites of the city, offers a large variety of art galleries, second-hand bookshops and antique shops. *'''Münchener Straße''' – In the [[Bahnhofsviertel (Frankfurt am Main)|Bahnhofsviertel]] district, located between the central station and Willy-Brandt-Platz, is the most multicultural shopping street with many shops selling imported products mainly from Turkey, the Middle East and Asia. *'''Kleinmarkthalle''' – (literally: ''Small Market Hall'') is a market hall close to Konstablerwache square offering fresh food and flowers. In addition to regional delicacies like [[green sauce]] imported goods are offered. The Kleinmarkthalle is the largest public marketplace in Frankfurt. {{multiple image | align = center | caption_align = center | image1 = Fressgass Ffm April 2011 EVA 8761.jpg | width1 = 352 | alt1 = | caption1 = Sidewalk cafés at [[Freßgass|Fressgass]] | image2 = MyZeil Frankfurt Nacht.jpg | width2 = 312 | alt2 = | caption2 = Shopping mall [[MyZeil]] | image3 = Goethestrasse Rothofstrasse Ffm.jpg | width3 = 350 | alt3 = | caption3 = Luxury shopping at [[Goethestraße]] }}
