Worth knowing: the Atento card is swapped online for a merchant voucher before the visit. It takes two minutes, then you simply show the merchant voucher at the till.

The whole neighborhood

Food first. Then everything else.

Food and drink carries the card today: 644 restaurants, cafes, bars and bakeries in Karlsruhe. Beauty, wellness, shopping and experiences are on it too, and growing quarter by quarter.

Why Atento

Every gift card is a vote for the high street.

When a card is redeemed in Karlsruhe, the money does not land in a warehouse at the Rhine port. It lands at the cafe in the Oststadt, the bookshop in the Südstadt, the wine merchant in Durlach, the beauty studio on Ludwigsplatz.

No warehouse. No corporation. Just the favorite places in your city.

How it works

Three steps to the right gift

  1. 1

    Buy the gift card

    Pick an amount, then personalize it with a message, a photo and a design. Free of charge.

  2. 2

    The recipient picks a favorite

    They browse the places in Karlsruhe and swap the card online for the place they pick. It takes two minutes, and the balance can be split across several places.

  3. 3

    Pay and enjoy

    Most places issue a digital Visa card, valid for that one shop. Add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay and pay at the till like with any other card. Where that is not live yet, you show a voucher instead.

Important: the Atento card is not redeemed directly in store. The online swap is required and takes two minutes. Swap it here

Occasions

Right for any occasion in Karlsruhe.

Birthday gift

Same-day PDF with a personal message. The recipient chooses between dinner, a massage or the bookshop.

Christmas gift

No parcel, no shipping deadline, no carton from a warehouse. Digital on the 24th or printed by post.

Wedding gift

Larger amounts split across several places: dinner in Durlach, a spa appointment, an experience.

Mother's Day

A massage, breakfast or flowers from the florist in the quarter, instead of an order that spends two days in transit.

Saying thank you

For the neighbor who takes in your parcels. In Karlsruhe 25 € covers lunch and a catch-up.

New in Karlsruhe

The most useful housewarming gift in the city: the budget to explore a new quarter, across all five categories.

All the details

Karlsruhe gift card: support local, give something personal

Karlsruhe lives on the shops that exist only once. The cafe in the Oststadt that the university keeps alive, the bookshop in the Südstadt, the wine merchant in Durlach, the sauna in a Weststadt courtyard. The Karlsruhe gift card from Atento is the key to exactly those places: one card, 665 options, all owner-run.

Discover the best of your neighborhood

The card covers five categories, not just food:

  • Restaurants, cafes, bars and bakeries across every quarter
  • Barbers, hairdressers and beauty studios in the quarter
  • Massage, sauna and yoga for the hottest summers in the country
  • Bookshops, concept stores, record shops and florists
  • Classes, workshops, cinemas and small stages

Why this matters in Karlsruhe

Karlsruhe has a great many students and very little room for shops that are not chains. What hangs on in the Oststadt and the Südstadt hangs on regulars, and on nothing else.

A gift card that only works at independent businesses reverses that flow. The money stays on the street where it is spent, and goes to people who actually work there.

Then there is the plain practicality: Durlach is a town of its own with a high street of its own, and the fan-shaped city is bigger than it looks. With 665 places across Karlsruhe, everyone finds something within walking distance.

And the choice stays with the recipient. You are not gifting a decision, you are gifting the freedom to pick between dinner, a massage and a bookshop.

A gift that gives back

With the Karlsruhe gift card you give more than a present. You back local business owners, you keep money in the city, and you help small operators stay open. A gift that feels good to give and better to get.
