Loden Frey

This Munich institution, founded in 1842, is where locals and visitors go for high-quality fashion made with loden, the sturdy wool that’s turned into the typical Bavarian coats, jackets, and hats. They also carry beautifully crafted lederhosen and embroidered dirndls. Travelers with kids will also love the fact that the top-floor children's' department is connected to the next floor via a long wooden slide, at the bottom of which sits a small espresso bar for tired parents.
