The main shopping district in Dresden extends from Ferdinandplatz to the west of Sankt-Petersburger StraÃe northwest to about Wilsdruffer StraÃe search for Altmarkt. At the south end Ferdinandplatz is a cinema, a couple of restaurants, and a huge Karstadt department store which also sells groceries. On the north end is a covered mall.
In the ÃuÃere Neustadt area north/east of Albertplatz, many small shops provide books, vinyl records and clothing.
The Innere Neustadt between Albertplatz and Elbe, mainly HaupstraÃe and KönigstraÃe is rather on a medium-to-fancy level.
