It is well known that America's outlets have the coolest shopping bargains. But the outlets in and around Germany are not bad either …
1. Zweibrücken Fashion Outlet
A nice open air shopping street. In addition to big brands, you can also find one or the other small brand here. Avoid at the weekend if you don't feel like the sardine can feeling, but during the week the Zweibrücken Fashion Outlet is a very relaxed affair with great bargains.
2. McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Neumünster
The McArthurGlen Outlet Neumünster is located a few kilometers above Hamburg. A really magical place with small street cafes, winding alleys and a really great children's playground with a café. There you can leave dad and children and have a nice day. Often there are discounts in addition to the already good prices, the newsletter is worth it! Big highlight: the only Ted Baker flagship store in all of Germany. Great cinema too: the nice, somewhat older salesman in the Hugo Boss shop could even advise the Queen with his pure style.
If you don't have a car, you don't have to stay at home: A free shuttle bus takes you from Hamburg Dammtor to the outlet and back on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays when shopping is open.
On June 29th there is a discount of up to 80 percent on late night shopping.
3. Parsdorf City outlets and more
The Parsdorf City outlets is not the absolute hit, but the "more" is the real joy of shopping. The delicatessen brand Käfer also offers its goods here on over 800 square meters. A little paradise for gourmets. And jeans with the wider waistband can be bought right next door in the outlet. Or a dirndl right away? That conceals best anyway. You can also get that here near Munich. Well fraili!
4. Roermond Outlet Center
The Roermond Outlet Center: Not all of Germany, but only a stone's throw across the Dutch border. This man-made village is one thing above all else: BEAUTIFUL. It doesn't matter whether you buy something here or not, just strolling through the super-clean streets gives you the feeling of strolling through Pleasantville. Whether Pentecost, Ascension Day or Sunday: The outlet is open 363 days a year. And if the beauty should be a little more historical: The outlet center is only a few minutes' walk from the pretty old town of Roermond.
5. Roppenheim
Nothing to do today? Then hop over to France for some shopping. Directly across the border there is also branded clothing in The Style Outlet Roppenheim, which, for once, not everyone in this country wears. The nicely laid out area exudes typical Alsatian charm. After that, don't cross the border without a detour to the best Alsatian tarte flambée restaurant in the world: Au vieux moulin in Lauterbourg.
6. Designer Outlet Berlin
Back to home: brands such as Aigner, Hugo Boss, Joop !, Napapijri, Superdry, Timberland and Wellensteyn are waiting for you in 90 stores in the Designer Outlet Berlin. There are also very nice cafés and the kids can have fun in the Panda Kids Club while mom and dad shop and sip latte. Allow them to do it. By the way, those who travel for 10 euros with the VIP shuttle from Berlin get another 10% extra discount and a welcome cookie. For real shopping queens, this can definitely be worthwhile.
7. Designer Outlet Salzburg
Only 10 minutes by car from the old town of Salzburg, Austria also has a nice shopping pearl to offer. Since the Designer Outlet Salzburg is covered, you can stroll there even in bad weather while the children play in the supervised Dinoland. So rainy days can't spoil the vacation.
8. Bahlsen Outlet
There are feelings that cannot be explained. For example, if you hold 5 kg of whole milk Akora hearts in your hand for an apple and an egg. Or a huge box of chocolate cookies. Or shortbread biscuits. Or nostalgic coffee cookies with slight quirks at half the price … Yes, damn it, you can buy happiness after all. At least in the Bahlsen outlet. Fortunately, there are 18 of them spread across Germany.
