Kassels Mitte: Urban and cultural.
Art, Culinary, Shopping and More: Kassels Mitte
In the city of Kassel, art, culture and urban life combine to create an unmistakable mix. Here you can find many important museums, admire fascinating documenta works of art and shop to your heart's content on Kassel's main shopping street, Oberer Königsstraße. In addition, there are plenty of cafés and restaurants waiting for you with regional specialities and international delicacies. The idyllic Karlsaue with the Orangery is just a few steps away.
Many attractive options: shopping fun in Kassel!
Whether trendy fashion trends, stylish accessories or regional products with a very special charm: even when shopping in Kassel is guaranteed not to get bored! Start with an extensive stroll through the city: On Kassel's main shopping mile, the Königsstraße, you will find many specialist shops with a huge selection of branded products. “Style up” is the way to Treppenstraße, Germany’s first pedestrian zone, and a trip to the Wilhelmsstraße district or Wolfsschlucht is also worthwhile.
Here art becomes an experience
Would you like to finally get to know the “bad wolf” yourself, admire fascinating documenta art, explore the turbulent history of Kassel or experience the funeral and mourning culture of past centuries? In the center of Kassel you will find many attractive museums with collections and exhibitions on various topics. And the best part is: all are within walking distance in no time. This also applies to the world-famous documenta outdoor artworks that you can admire in the city – from the sky storm on the forecourt of the Kulturbahnhof to the obelisk on the Stairway. You don't see art in front of all the trees? Then be sure to look out for oaks in the cityscape, next to which a basalt stele stands – because this is also an important documenta work of art. . .
