With its pretty, tree-lined boulevards flanked by timbered buildings with turreted towers, Wertheim Village is the most charming of luxury shopping destinations. Home to over 110 fashion and lifestyle boutiques offering up to 60% off, this retail outlet mall is a must-visit for discerning shoppers. Just 50 minutes from Jumeirah Frankfurt, it is perfect for a day trip, and along with some tips from our concierge, here are our highlights to spending a shopping in Wertheim Village.
Luxury shopping with a difference
Inspired by local Franconian architecture, Wertheim Village looks plucked from the pages of a fairy tale, including the pricing. Everything is generously discounted on its former recommended retail price, allowing you to shop smart and save.
From the most glamorous international designers, Armani and Versace to prestige German labels Braun Büffel and Roeckl, Wertheim Village has the finest fashion at your fingertips. Then there are stylish handbags at Longchamp and Coach, heavenly-smelling beauty products at L’Occitane en Provence, and heirloom timepieces at Longines and Hour Passion.
Aside from world-class fashion, Wertheim Village boasts enviable homeware. Shop high quality linens and bedding at leading German brand, Estella before exploring contemporary handmade furnishings in Lambert. If you’re in search of a perfect gift, call in on jewellers Thomas Sabo and Swarovski to bag something sparkly and special.
If you’re visiting from outside the EU you claim up to 14.5% tax back on your purchases. There’s a minimum spend of only €25 in each boutique. Purchased more than you can tote around? Wertheim Village offers free storage for your luggage and purchases while you continue to shop.
Our concierge recommends: “The most picturesque time to discover Wertheim Village is during the Christmas shopping season, when festive decorations create breathtaking scenery.”
Sensational food and drink
Whether you’d like a quick coffee pick-me-up or a leisurely al fresco bite on a leafy plaza, Wertheim Village has some really tasty places to eat and drink. Asian Affairs whisks you to Thailand with its aromatic curries and noodles. Eat the All-American way on full-loaded burgers at Prime. At Müller's Roast & Grill, there are classic German dishes, such as meat loaf and Winzerbraten on the menu. And our concierge recommends that: “Guests should go to La Piazza for Italian food, followed by ice cream at Amorino.”Wertheim Village’s eateries are dotted all over and you’ll find them as you amble round the elegant, horseshoe-shaped village. If you’re making a full day trip of your visit, it’s worth taking time out from your shopping to indulge and refuel over lunch. Should kids need a fun shopping pit stop, there’s a newly renovated, spacious play area next to Prime for them to let off a bit of steam.
