Every Tuesday and Saturday morning Kaiserslautern’s pedestrian zone is full of farmers selling fresh fruits, vegetables, fresh flowers, cheeses, eggs, honey, baked goods and much more. You can also find lots of fresh meats and fish. You can easily grab a coffee, pastry or bratwurst at a vendor at the market for a quick bite to eat or go to one of the many restaurants nearby.
Do not worry if you are not fluent in Deutsch. Many of the vendors speak some English. Just remember to be extra friendly and smile. Some easy phrases (that I even write down on a paper and keep in my pocket) are: “Ich hatte gerne _______” (I would like ___) and “Vos costet das?” (What does this cost?). If you forget or are too nervous, just smile, point, and say "bitte" (please) and “danke”(thank you) and the sellers will help you with the rest!
Parking: Kaiserslautern has tons of parking garages but we favor the Q-Park near the theatre
