Overview

Schildergasse is named after the Schilderer (painters or sign makers) who used to have their studios on the street. Today it's home to most of the major department stores and shops such as Kaufhof, Marks & Spencer, Gap and Douglas. You can take a break to watch the street performers or have look at the jewellery and fruit vendors who sell their goods in the middle of the street. The Bierbrunnen at the lower end of Schildergasse is a great place to chill out after a hectic day's shopping.
