5. Georgstrasse is the best place to find memorable souvenirs. It is famous not only for its souvenir shops, but also for its antique shops. Bargaining is not common here and is unlikely to bring you a big discount on goods. However, if a seller feels sympathy for a buyer, he may make a gift in addition to a purchase.
