Copenhagen is home to 'Stroget', one of the longest pedestrian streets in the world. Here you will find a wide range of shops from large designer stores to small boutiques :

Buses, trams, cars and bicycles were banned in 1964 to allow for the thousands of shoppers, that walk down this open air market. The 'cheap' end is at Radhuspladsen, with simple bars and burger joints, but things get more expensive further down with stores like Gucci and Birger Christensen. Some come here to shop, others just to see and be seen.

Begin your Copenhagen shopping excursion on Strøget, a mile-long series of pedestrian shopping streets that link Copenhagen's Town Hall (Radhus) and the regal plaza called Kongens Nytorv (where you'll find the Royal Theatre, home of the Royal Danish Ballet and Royal Opera). The selection ranges from amusing trinkets to the most exclusive designer labels:
