Königstraße
A 1.2 km pedestrian shopping street running from the Hauptbahnhof south past Schlossplatz, one of Germany's busiest shopping streets with department stores and brand-name shops on both sides.
Königstraße is Stuttgart's main pedestrian shopping street. It runs north from the Hauptbahnhof, passes Schlossplatz, and extends south to Rotebühlplatz, about 1.2 km in total. Both sides are lined with department stores, international chain brands, shops selling Swabian specialties, and cafés, and street performers often entertain passersby. Nearby, Calwer Straße keeps its historic buildings, while the Dorotheen Quartier has high-end fashion labels. Shops are closed on Sundays.
