shopping on sunday?
 

Going to Frankfurt in June. Are the large dept stores open on Sunday?

No, unless they make an exception because of the World Cup. Usually, the only stores open on Sundays are at RR stations and Frankfurt Airport.

I arrived in downtown Frankfurt about a year ago on a Sunday morning and must have walked two miles looking for ANYTHING open to buy some snacks to keep in the hotel room and some bottled water. I finally gave up and ordered from room service. There wasn't a thing open anywhere.

You find open on sundays:
gasstations - most of them have a nice store where to find something to drink, snacks and more
shops at the main railway station
shops and supermarket at the airport

have fun

I think I'll have a bigger problem than Sunday shopping: I'll arrive in Berlin (by train) on Sunday 30 April, and the next day is May 1st.
I suppose that all supermarkets will be closed in both these days.
We booked an aparment in Berlin, so I would like to buy some things for breakfast and some drinks.

What I have to do?

hi there,
I'm not a Berlin expert, but I guess You will have the same choises - normaly at the railway station there is a shop.

It's surprising how far into town petrol stations come in Berlin. Their drinks range is often spectacular, and they almost all sell a basic range of groceries: certainly practically everything (often including freshly-baked bread) you could want for breakfast.
