‚The Creative Mile‘

No longer an insider’s tip for some time, but it’s one of the most extraordinary shopping addresses in the Old Town of Celle: Schuhstrasse, better known as the “creative mile”. The name reflects the character of this charming old alley: here you will find small and really fine shops that stand for individuality, high standards and quality; boutiques, shops and concept stores with products that you won't find on every corner: handicrafts and home accessories from Asia and the Orient, for example.

Stylish fashion for men to suit all tastes and preferences, individually designed and handmade jewellery, unusual gift ideas, high-quality fabrics, toys and children's fashion. As diverse as the offer is, one thing unites the shops on the Kreativmeile: Passion. Here you will meet people who love their business, who run it with dedication and devotion and for whom it is an absolute pleasure to find the right thing for you. Give it a try.

Celle is enchanting

Even just walking through Celle’s medieval streets makes shopping an experience. More than 500 carefully, beautifully restored half-timbered buildings. Each one is unique. This also applies to the many small businesses, shops and boutiques, cafes, bistros and restaurants. No matter what you are looking for, this is where you will find it. And you will meet people who run their business with heart and soul, who take pleasure in helping you and who place great importance on the fact that you’re happy and will gladly come back. This is also how shopping can be.

The Street ‚Neue Straße‘

Relaxed shopping in the Heart of the Old Town

For many of the locals, this is simply their “favourite street”. Neue Strasse represents easy relaxed shopping, appealing to all the senses. This wonderful old alley is above all personal and original. All the shops, stores, restaurants and cafes are owner-managed. You can see it. You can feel it. You can taste it. Maybe the Neue Straße will become your “favourite street” too?

The courtyards of Celle

Original at second glance

In Celle, it is also worth taking a look behind the scenes. Somewhat hidden, for example, is the "Postmeister von Hinüber", for almost 25 years one of the top addresses for creative cuisine and excellent wines. Speciality shops such as the "Alte Provisor" and the "Zapfhahn" have also discovered the special charm of the courtyards for themselves and their customers. Here you can experience Celle's unique half-timbered atmosphere even more intensely. Take a look inside. It's worth it.
