The main shopping in Luxembourg City can be found around the Auchan shopping center on Kirchberg, the area around the train station, and the Grand Rue and its surrounding side streets. Some of the area’s more popular purchases include designer clothing, jewelry. Also worth a sample are the Luxembourg chocolates, called knippercher.
For more upscale selections, start in the Old City, around the Grand Rue and rue de la Poste. The boutiques there are filled with the hottest European fashions, and shoppers can also find good art galleries. More moderately priced items are concentrated around the train station area. The streets surrounding place d’Armes feature mainly souvenir stores, with an abundance of handmade items such pottery and clocks, and art galleries that offer paintings, decorated porcelain plates, and cast-iron wall plaques.
Most shops and boutiques are closed on Sundays and open late on Mondays, from about 2pm until 6pm. Regular hours resume Tuesdays through Saturdays, from about 9am until 6pm.
