Schildergasse

Why go

The street follows an old east–west line through Cologne and now makes an easy connection across the shopping core. Around its middle, the Antoniterkirche sits beside Renzo Piano's Weltstadthaus, an architectural contrast that rewards a pause even if you are not shopping. Think of the full street, not a single address.

What to look for

• The pedestrian route runs from Neumarkt toward Hohe Straße.
• Antoniterkirche sits near the street's midpoint.
• Renzo Piano's Weltstadthaus gives the shopping street a distinctive modern facade.

Useful to know

• Use Schildergasse as a direct link between Neumarkt and Hohe Straße.
• Check individual venues if you intend to enter; the street and its shops have different access patterns.
