Local before arrival
36 arches, a single cosmos of urban shopping: The promenade in the converted railroad viaduct is a hotspot for shopping-lovers looking for something beyond uniform brand-name products. In the shops below the stone arches, mothers with small children browse alongside copywriters for vintage designer furniture, offbeat accessories or handcrafted bicycles. Tip: If you’re looking to relax before, during or after the shopping rush, head to Ambrosi, the cosy coffee bar in arch 25.
