How To Spend An Afternoon In Strget Copenhagen

One of the main touristic attractions in Copenhagen, Strøget is also one of locals’ most favorite spots. 1.1 kilometers (around 0.684 miles) long and brimming with shops, restaurants, and cafés of every kind and for all budgets, this pedestrian-shopping street is one of the most vivid spots of the city and the prefect place for an afternoon walk.

Shopping

Those taking a stroll at Strøget don’t have to be in the mood for shopping. However, those who are have found one of the best streets to head for. Aside of low budget stores such as Zara, H&M, and New Yorker, there are also many designers’ stores such as Louis Vuitton and Giorgio Armani.

Fashionistas should definitely check Mads Nørgaard‘s store to get a taste of the internationally-renowned Danish fashion as well as & Other Stories because it offers a great selection of clothes and accessories. If traveling with kids or just want to buy a little something for your loved ones back home, make a stop at Karrusella in Jorcks Passage.
