Kaiserstraße

The semi-circular section of road in front of the square at Karlsruhe Palace is known as the “Zirkel” in the fan-shaped city. Famous for its numerous art galleries and historic political buildings, the Zirkel attracts more than just art lovers.

Herrenstraße spans from the southern edge of the Karlsruhe Palace to Karlstor on Karlstraße. You can find an A–Z of shops among cultural heritage sites and court buildings, as well as the Federal Court of Justice. You can find everything from A-line skirts to zebra-print couch cushions at the shops along Herrenstraße, as well as everything a well-organised jewellery box, household or wardrobe could ever need.

Lammstraße runs parallel to Ritterstrasse and right past the city’s largest shopping centre, Ettlinger Tor. Named after the former guesthouse “Zum Lamm”, the vibrant street still bears its historical name to this day. A wide range of shops, mainly for the little ones, serve to attract many locals and tourists.
