Connection to public transport

As is often the case in Cologne, Neumarkt is also connected to public transport or regional transport . Bus, train and taxi are just a few of them. If you decide to take a tram ride, you will be able to return to our apartments in just a few minutes. However, if you want to travel by train, that's no problem either. A few streets away is the Cologne Cathedral with the Cologne Central Station and thus a wide range of possibilities of train connections and connections. Even the main train station itself is teeming with shops and shops. In addition to shops like Douglas and the like, fast food chains such as Mc Donalds, KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) or Dunkin Donuts offer a cheap snack in between, before the train continues for you. For people who like to eat soft ice cream, the Mc Sunday by Mc Donalds is a real insider tip: it only costs one euro, but still tastes very good.

As you can see, the Neumarkt with its shopping streets is located in the center of Cologne and is thus very easy to reach by public transport, but also within a few minutes on foot. Other ways of getting around are renting a bike or car. Inform yourself beforehand which variant you prefer. Most lending is very easy, and also via the Internet or an app on your smartphone can be handled. Also tourist attractions such as rickshaw bikes or tourist trains are a unique but useful experience. Would you like to know more about the attractions in Cologne and look at them, but do not walk the long distance? Then the trip with a tourist bus is just right for you. When the weather is good, the roofs of these buses are usually opened, allowing the fresh air in.

Shops around the Neumarkt

Around the Neumarkt you will find a large number of shops and shops. Almost every price range is represented here and covered. To give you an idea of the variety of shops, here are some stores with their features and price ranges. A very well-known and also with many people extremely popular chain is TK Maxx . It is not only present in many different cities throughout Germany, but also has a good reputation abroad. One of the many special features of the shop is, for example, the gigantic selection of clothes, jewelery, bags, accessories, make-up, accessories, furniture, toys, decorative items, shoes, and much more. Many of the products are divided into the categories men, women and children. But also the unbeatable prices of many articles let customers rush into the business: with TK Maxx everything is basically reduced. You will also find a variety of branded products such as Tommy Hilfiger, Lacoste or Ralph Lauren for a reasonable price. Nevertheless, is my tip for this business: Take your time! Because only those who look for and search long will find a real and unbeatable bargain.

The decoration shop DEPOT and more

Right next to TK Maxx is the decoration shop DEPOT . It is not as big as its gigantic neighbor, but still offers some articles. In the cellar of the famous Neumarktgalerie there is also a shop of the famous Lidl discounter series. Here you will find in addition to the normal assortment also cheap baked goods and drinks, which are usually sufficient for a snack after a long shopping day. If you like to have more choice, you will also find various fruit stands, yoghurt or ice cream stands with self-service or a store in the Backwerk range. At Backwerk you will find various products such as rolls, bread, sandwiches with salad, cheese, salami, etc. and sweet desserts such as donuts, Berliners, Americans, and much more.

Make-up and hygiene

Another store that is more frequently represented in these shopping streets is the drugstore market DM. Here you will find all make-up products, hygiene products such as soap, deodorant etc., which can sometimes be extremely beneficial after a long shopping spree on a summer's day.

The Zalando Outlet

Similar to the TK Maxx Store, the Zalando Outlet , which is located a few blocks away and was recently opened in Cologne, is a popular destination for many customers. Returned items from the Zalando online shop or second-hand products are sold at relatively low prices. Mostly you can not look at the products' flaws, so it's always worthwhile browsing the shelves of this store. Sneakers from brands such as Nike or Adidas, shirts from brands such as Tommy Hilfiger or Lacoste, are often to be found for a low price. However, the following always applies: Each product is a unique piece . What is sold is gone.

Even so, exchanging the products for a credit that can only be redeemed at the Zalando Outlet is possible in most cases. The general exchange of many products is possible within two weeks. Covered are women's items and men's items, the category children is usually not represented in this business. Another special feature of this business is the subdivision of the articles in "normal" brands such as Nike, Adidas, etc. and "more expensive" brands such as Versace, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Burberry and much more. Depending on how much money you are willing to spend, finding a suitable item in the right price range is much easier.

Welcome to ZARA

The ZARA store series is also a popular shopping destination for many adolescents, adults and children alike. With fancy designs, many of the trendy clothes are a real eye-catcher. The business is subdivided into a department for ladies, a department for men and another, separate department for children.

Cheap Shopping

If you still want to buy cheap clothes then you should not miss stores like TallyWeijl, New Yorker or Primark . Primark Primark, a gigantic business that spans several floors of the Neumarkt Gallery, attracts many customers almost magically. Here everyone should agree with themselves how much money one is willing to spend on a top, for example, and what quality one hopes for. Nevertheless, Primark also has a large assortment of modern garments, but also beauty products such as sticky eyelashes and fingernails. In the checkout area you will often find sweets or other trifles such as hair ties and hair clips.

The TallyWeijl Shop is known for its particularly slim and small failing clothes. It is especially good to shop here, if you have a small height or a slim figure. Nevertheless, many of the clothes are of inferior quality and hold only one season or a washing process. Shirts are usually transparent and jeans like to run a little faster. Nevertheless, many of the garments are beautiful to look at, so you should decide for yourself what to focus on and focus on.

New Yorker has a similar structure to TallyWeijl or Primarkt and also has a low price range. Nevertheless, it is also to say that many of the clothes already lose quality after a few washes.
