You can get to the "Europark" quite simply by bus, namely with the line "O-Bus 1". Directly in front of the hotel is the bus stop "Eichetstraße", where you have to get on in the direction "Stadion" and get off at the "Europark" stop. The bus takes about 10 minutes and costs 2€ per ride if you get your ticket from the ticket machine. On the bus itself it is a bit more expensive, so better plan 😉 in advance. Once you arrive at Europark you can get something to eat before you start shopping. In total, more than 130 shops are waiting for you with a gigantic selection of clothes, shoes and much more.

For lunch we stopped at the "Bakery" to get a kind of "Strammer Max" - for all those who don't know it yet, this is a slice of toasted bread with ham and fried egg on top and a pickled cucumber. For us it was the perfect snack for in between and we were sufficiently strengthened to continue shopping in the afternoon.

We continued our way through the countless shops, emptying our credit cards and filling our pockets. I got a total of five new outfits and in addition some single pieces that can be combined very well. If you should feel the urge to have a caffeine supply in between, I can recommend Starbucks here. You don't queue up too long and get what you expect - a delicious hot or cold drink and all freshly prepared.

We informed ourselves via Google Maps and came across the "Pizzeria Belucci". Since we felt like eating Italian, and pizza actually always works, we finally went here and ordered a big pizza for everyone. I had a classic salami pizza and my girlfriend had one with ham. To drink we shared a bottle of wine and a bottle of water. The service was also very nice, which made the evening perfect.
