Visited Cologne during a Viking Rhine River cruise and I have to mention a great souvenir shop,…read moreGerman Souvenirs, that was close to the Cathedral across from where the Viking shuttle bus parked. I bought 4 beer steins and he charged 37.99 Euros for shipment to California via DHL. It did take 25 days to receive, which he did give me a heads up about, but they arrived in perfect condition. He individually wrapped each one and then added more bubble wrap to the entire box. I am really impressed at the diligence he took to package my beer steins. He also emailed me when he shipped them out (which was the next day), and when I couldn't track my package online, he resent the link and checked into it for me (he replied the next day). I had to mention this shop, because the other shops I visited, didn't seem to have as much knowledge on the shipping process and I had no confidence in them. I was worried I would be paying for steins & shipping costs and then never receive the product. German Souvenirs knew the exact process for shipping out Steins. He told me the cost, the # of days it would take, and he explained how he was going to package it. Very reliable, very reasonable priced, & Great Customer service !

Here you will find unique German made crafts that aren't your typical gifts to bring home. The shop even has a sign that states "not a souvenir shop", but the craftsmanship of the items are reflected in the price.

The shop owner is helpful, friendly ,and well versed on the history of all the items he carries. Great place to visit and get list for a few moments!
