SHOPPING IN COPENHAGEN

The High Street, Stroget is a pedestrian street which travels throught the entirety of the old city center. From Radhus pladsen (the Town Hall Square) to the pleasent Kongens Nytorv, the shopping transforms into the fashionable boutiques of Gucci, Prada and Gianni Versace which takeover this part of town. Kobmagergade is also a pedestrian street which is becoming a more fashionable street, with Bennetton, Diesel and Esprit all located here along with other local brand stores. Also in this area are lots of excellent restaurants further up towards Norreport.

Around Kronprinsensgade are where the local designers like Bruuns Bazaar and Munthe plus Simonsen are located. At Amagertorv one will also find exclusive and expensive design shops such as Illums Bolighus and other fashion stores which range from the famous Royal Copenhagen porcelain to the famous George Jensen silverware brands. Illum which is an up scale department store consists of an entire block by the corner of Kobmagergade and Stroget. Also one comes across a huge department store called Magasin du Nord which is located on Kongens Nytorv and it has an excellent food department.

Amagertorv is located in the middle of the city centre next to a bizarre statue of Strokespringvandet and there is lots of singing and dancing in this area, and can be enjoyed from the outdoor tables of cafes at Cafe Europa and Norden. Straedet is a more quieter and pedestrian street parallel to Stroget and has many interesting places and one can window shop, or else chill out in one of the charming cafes. Fiolstraede has the the Church of our Lady (Vor Frue Kirke). In this church are statues by the sculptor Thorvaldsen. Kongens Nytorv is where the Royal theatre is located and the exhibition for modern art Charlottenborg is closeby. Restaurants are everywhere and especially around the town square of Grabrodretorv.
