If you're looking for unique items not found in larger stores to accent your home or to find a nice gift for a friend or loved one, this is the place to find it. We can't wait to go back!

I absolutely love this store and I always stop in whenever I'm visiting Europe! They sell all sort…read moreof little whimsical housewares and other goods, and it's a ton of fun to browse this colorful shop! Pylones is a French chain store, but it totally feels like you're stepping into a funky art gallery. Inside, it's colorful and vibrant, with all sorts of eye-catching merchandise and playful designs (think kitty cat shaped pizza cutters, naughty wine bottle stoppers, and cheerful floral scarves, among other things). It's like a handful of everyday objects that are transformed into functional art pieces that are fanciful and fun. As an artsy-fartsy person myself, trust me: this is THE place if you are looking for a unique gift that the creative in your life will absolutely adore. You cannot go wrong here. I purchased an adorable mini cheeseboard and knife set designed to resemble an artists palette, a frog tote bag, and a gorgeous oversized modern art scarf. I lugged that heavy cheeseboard set in my backpack-sized luggage all over Europe (worth it!), made everyday use of the tote bag at local markets, and wore the fashionable scarf to snazz up my outfit during my travels. As in the past, I am pleased with the quality and pricing on my goods. This location is right on the main drag in Heidelberg, and it's a cool place to browse if you are wandering the cobblestone streets and in need of a little retail therapy. This is the ideal place to buy a memorable and fun souvenir.

Terrible experience with the old sales woman in the shop. She is such a racist and started talking…read moreabout us after we entered the shop in German. She thought we couldn't understand German, but actually we can. Never Imagined how such a rude person exists. Shameful!

Items from street vendors are better quality! They either swapped items with broken or broke them wrapping, then refused to honor. Waste of time and money and they overcharge for everyrhing.

I have been building a nativity collection since I first got one in Bethlehem in 1981. Moved to a smaller place and gave away some of my nativities, but on a recent trip to Europe, I thought of getting some smaller ones for my smaller space. This is my favorite. Thanks!

Comic and anime shop in the heart of downtown…read more You normally see comic shops that up-charge 2x - 3x for items that were found on wish or alliexpress, yet the prices here were reasonably priced. This is evident that I bought multiple things here and will definitely stop by and check out what items they have in the future when I am in the area again.

This is the German TJ Maxx, and it's just as good (if not better) than its U.S. counterparts. While…read moreon a European trip in late December, my husband left his only pair of gloves on the train. I'm so glad I found this store in Heidelberg because I was able to get him a replacement pair for cheap, and I didn't have to go to a pricey department store. This is a two-level store with all sorts of good stuff. I really loved looking at the makeup section, lots of European brands for a few dollars. I picked up some face cream and lip balm to use during my travels as well. This store was well stocked for the season, and the racks were full of warm winter jackets, scarves, and hats, which makes this a great and affordable stop if you are traveling and have forgotten something (socks, shirts, pajamas, toiletries, etc.). It's like a treasure hunt, but don't expect to find high end designer brands or anything, just solid, reliable wardrobe staples. Basically your typical TJ Maxx with a little dash of European flair!

So if you find something you like and it fits right, do not hesitate as it might not be there the next day. The Men's section is smaller than the Women's but still has a good variety of clothes, including Lederhosen.

Saw some pretty emerald earrings in the windows & knew we would want to check out the place…read more Owner was extremely friendly and after speaking about the pieces ( as we looked at a few pairs of earrings ) we were provided with all the info they could offer..... they do not have much info on their pieces & were limited to certain timeframes - but it was nice to see they were so honest & not willing to make up a fake history Prices were about double what I was willing to pay - even with their best-price, so we had to say our farewells but please be advised that some pieces qualify for VAT back, if you are not a citizen of the EU and their selection was fantastic. Well worth a visit!
