 The
centre of Copenhagen isn't big, but for inspiration per pavement meter
it's hard to beat anywhere else in the world!
Copenhagen is a city built on a human scale, and it's shoe leather
rather than taxi or subway that pays the way. The compact geography of
the city centre is the major factor that makes shopping in Copenhagen
such a relief.
A stroll down Strøget and its surrounding
streets is an easily manageable exercise in the art of window shopping
and within just a few hundred yards the picture can change from large
exclusive stores to curious speciality shops. Lurking parallel to Strøget
is quieter Strædet.
The Queen herself is no stranger to the main shopping street, Strøget,
and its intimate side streets and their networks of specialist shops which
proudly call themselves "purveyors to her Majesty the Queen of Denmark"
This is the quality end of the Copenhagen shopping experience – Royal
Shopping
A detour just off Støget reveals a wealth of life in the narrow streets
and little shops in the Grønnegade quarter.
 Store
Kongensgade and Bredgade, also known as the Royal
District is is the haunt of those fortunate (or unfortunate) enough
to have expensive tastes...
Finding what you want couldn't be easier in Copenhagen. The city has
loosely defined quarters which tend to attract trades and shops of a similar
nature; Avant-garde, underground and up-and-coming in
Larsbjørnsstræde,
art and cutting edge design in the Royal District, major department stores
and leading big-name stores on Strøget and the new face of Danish
fashion in Kronprinsensgade.
