Innenstadt Lingen (Ems)

Big names and small boutiques line the streets, cafés invite you to enjoy a cappuccino in between. Cozy bistros serve small snacks. In between, people of all ages stroll or stroll, enjoying big-city flair in a small format.

In addition to well-known chain stores, the retail trade in Lingen is characterized by numerous stores run to a high standard by their owners with a clear profile and individual touch. The four shopping streets around the central market shape the appearance of Lingen's city center; the contemporary (re)design is the result of close cooperation between the merchants and the administration.

The 230-meter-long, covered promenade "Lookentor" stretches between Lookenstrasse and Marienstraße and thus connects two of the four shopping streets. Over 50 attractive stores and a variety of gastronomic offerings, plus an attractive year-round entertainment program and a sophisticated design line - all this makes the Lookentor a shopping mile of the highest standard. It is not without reason that the arcade is a magnet for visitors from all over the surrounding area.

On Wednesdays and Saturdays, the traders at the weekly market offer not only but predominantly local products. In addition to this great range of fresh produce, the special atmosphere that such a weekly market exudes is of course also attractive.
