Sightseeing and Shopping The Rhein-Main Area provides multiple opportunities for exclusive shopping. In Frankfurt the "Goethe-Straße" offers everything from Armani to Zegna. Wiesbaden, a smaller and very charming city just 20 minutes by car from Frankfurt provides exclusive shops and boutiques interspersed with cafes, restaurants and spa facilities. In Bad Homburg, another spa located at the foot of the Taunus mountains, also only 20 minutes from Frankfurt, is equally well prepared for the demanding shopper. Both Wiesbaden and Bad Homburg offer a Casino, spa and beauty facilities as well as green parks and gardens for a stroll and a large Japanese style bath for relaxation. Other shopping paradises await the untiring shopper in Cologne and Düsseldorf, only just over one hour away by high speed train. Hamburg, Berlin, Stuttgart, Munich and cities in Switzerland such as Basel, Berne and Zurich can conveniently be reached by plane in less than one hour. If desired, personal shopping advisers can be hired to guide you to the most fashionable places and to guarantee the best prices available. Tax free shopping: Value added tax (Mehrwertsteuer) can be fully reclaimed by foreign shoppers when they return to their home country - an additional 19 % reduction in price for those lucky ones. |
