As the forecourt of the Postgalerie shopping center, it is always a busy square and marks the western starting point of Kaiserstraße as the main shopping street.

The square is affectionately known by locals as the "Euro" and is a natural part of both daily strolls and night-time party life.

Perfect connections to all major shopping streets, the forecourt of a shopping center and links to the main public transport routes - what more could you need for a pleasant shopping experience?

In the area

As Baden’s longest shopping street, Kaiserstraße is renowned all over Karlsruhe and is adored by young and old alike. A vibrant mixture of renowned labels and independent shops give the focal point of the fan-shaped city its unique charm.

Kaiserstraße

The fan-shaped city´s shopping boulevard

With a length of almost two kilometres, Karlstraße is one of the key streets for traffic in the fan-shaped city. As such, Karlstraße has a particularly wide and diverse range of businesses where you can shop or browse. From wedding dresses to quality men’s shirts, right up to blouses made from natural textiles – everybody will find what they are looking for here.

Karlstraße

Two kilometres of shopping fun

Ludwigsplatz is primarily characterised by its wide selection of bars and restaurants and its “La dolce Vita” atmosphere. This is where the music is played, which you will notice if you pass by on a warm summer evening. Situated right on the cosy Erbprinzenstraße, you can enjoy the last rays of sunshine here after a long day of shopping.

Stephanplatz, the spacious square behind the renowned Postgalerie shopping centre, offers a lot of open space, that is often used in interesting ways. The vibrant farmers’ market and quaint flea markets offer a very different kind of shopping experience.
