The greatest joy is the joy of anticipation, so the proverb goes - but memories can be just as special. The memory of a wonderful holiday, for example, or of a rustic meal in an Alpine lodge, somewhere in the middle of nowhere. The smell of a mountain meadow. The right memento can keep all of those little moments of happiness alive. Find your perfect souvenir - from Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

You'll be surprised how much there is to choose from. On the one hand, high-quality traditional handcrafts – beautifully crafted Bavarian traditional costumes, for example. On the other, regional fashion and „Alpine Lifestyle“ - a young, individual style which is becoming increasingly popular.

Our tip: Take a stroll through the town and let yourself drift. Browse and shop your way through more than 450 stores – from traditional costume stores to designer boutiques.

Sophisticated Garmisch with its pedestrian zone around the Michael-Ende-Kurpark (spa-gardens) has traditional shops, but also well-known brands and trendy boutiques. Enjoy pure lifestyle!

In Partenkirchen's historic Ludwigstraße – which used to be the market street – you'll find predominantly smaller shops with a focus on handicrafts: goldsmiths, potteries, bakeries, butchers and lots of restaurants and cafés. And even a chocolaterie!
