Weather-Based Shopping Tips for Oldenburg

Spring (March-May)

Spring is windy. A good cycling jacket is ideal for the bike-friendly city. The city center around Lange Straße offers many shops. In case of rain, the Schlosshöfe mall is a great choice.

Summer (June-August)

Summers are mild. Perfect for a stroll through the charming city center. There are good deals in the summer sales. Look for clothes for the city festival in August.

Autumn (September-November)

Autumn is the time of the Kramermarkt, one of the largest folk festivals in Northern Germany. It is also the time when the kale ("Grünkohl") season begins. Buy warm sweaters and a raincoat.

Winter (December-February)

The Lamberti-Markt in front of the church is a beautiful Christmas market. Winters are cool and damp. A warm, waterproof coat is a good investment. You can find bargains in the winter sales.
