Shopping in Copenhagen
If you like to shop, then Copenhagen is a good place to be. Fill up your
wallet and make sure you have enough time. Much is concentrated around
Strøget when it comes to shops. The area is filled with small squares and
side streets. Here you will find specialty shops with rarities and fashion shops
with the highest in haute couture.
The pedestrian zone in Copenhagen has an expensive side and a less expensive
side. The most reasonable site is from Nygade to City Hall Square.
The (even) more expensive side goes from Kongens Nytorv to
Vimmelskaftet. Here you will find watches and jewelery, bags, shoes,
clothes and exclusive department stores.

The pedestrian street Fiolstræde (starting from Strøget)
passes through the Latin Quarter and is the street for those who like antiques
and bookshops. You will also find shops that sell clothes and fashion, but if
this is the most important thing for you, the pedestrian shopping street
Kømagergade (also starting from Strøget) may be a better choice. Here you
will also find good food and wine shops. The smaller streets usually have the
most exciting specialty shops. For example, try the streets Studiestræde
and Larsbjørnsstræde near the town hall square.
Let's also mention that Vesterbrogade (in Vesterbro) has many good
shops of all kinds. If you want exotic shops, go to Vesterbros Torv.
The best food street is also on Vesterbro and is called Værnedamsvej,
not far from Frederiksberg.

Other shops in Copenhagen
Flea markets and second hand trade
Copenhagen has always had a reputation for being a good place to buy antiques
and small rarities. A good tip if you are in Copenhagen from April to October is
to visit one of the many flea markets. Some suggestions are:
Old Strand Flea Market
This is Copenhagen's most exclusive flea market with silverware and
porcelain. Open Fridays and Saturdays from the morning until 11:00. 1700. Walk
to the street Old Beach.
Montmartre on Kongens Nytorv
The square opposite D'Angleterre is the place for flea in crafts and
art. Opening hours are from 7 p.m. 1000 to 1600 on Saturdays. You will also find
lots of posters and postcards.
If you visit Copenhagen in the winter, you can try Øksnehallen or the Blue
Pakhus on Saturday morning. There are often flea markets here all year round.
Second-hand
stores Klassik i Bredgade 3 is a shop that specializes in the reuse of
design furniture. Are you looking for something very special for your apartment,
or the gift of the one who has "everything", then Klassik can be the store.
Bredgade is located northeast of Kongens Nytorv.
If you are looking for used clothes, the keywords are Ravnsborggade
on Nørrebro and Nedre Frihavnsgade on Østerbro. Both streets represent
many thrift stores and several cozy cafes in the immediate vicinity when you are
tired of shopping and shopping.
Eating in Copenhagen
There are so many cafes and restaurants to choose from in Copenhagen that you
are sure to find something you like, if you just take the time to research. Here
you will find gourmet restaurants and simple inns.
In Copenhagen, as in other European cities, there are most cafes and
restaurants in the city center. Look at Tivoli as a separate area, as there are
many places to eat in the summer. Frederiksberg also has a rich selection of
eateries.
Lunch (or breakfast as the Danes call it) is usually served between 7 p.m.
1130 and 1400, and noon from 6 p.m. 1800 to 7 p.m. 2200 or later. The local
Danish cuisine is cleansed of bad conscience, that is, the portions are large,
the ingredients fresh, the calories abound, and everyone at the table gets good
and satisfied.
The classic Danish dish is perhaps the "sandwich bread", ie bread slices with
delicious toppings such as smoked fish or ham. Gladly served in the morning
(what the Danes call breakfast) and washed down with a little snaps.
Ida Davidsen
The best sandwich restaurant in Copenhagen is possibly Ida Davidsen, which has
the address Store Kongensgade 70. It is the fifth generation that now runs the
restaurant in Nørrebro, and the menu consists of more than 250 different
sandwiches. Here are more regulars than other guests, and you may meet a
celebrity or three as well. Open from 2 pm 1000 to 1700, Monday to Friday.
Closed Saturday and Sunday.
An alternative choice is Restaurant Domhuskælderen, located
at Nytorv 5. The lunch menu deals with all the classic Danish. Restaurant
Domhuskælderen is historically known as the place for lawyers and judges.
Denmark's largest portions are available at Café Lindevang, which has Danish
traditional cuisine and is located in PG Ramms Allé 4. They also have a number
of different snaps, if you plan to start the evening there. It's cheap too.
Fish restaurants and gourmet restaurants
Fish is naturally something Danes are experts on. In Copenhagen you can really
enjoy a perfect fish meal. We suggest the restaurant Noma,
which is located in Christianshavn, if you get a table then.
The restaurant aims to show what Nordic food is, and the restaurant is
already well known among gourmets all over Europe. The restaurant is located in
a restored 18th-century warehouse. The address is Strandgade 93. Read
more on the restaurant's website. You can also read an article about restaurant
Noma here!
Krogs Fiskerestaurant on Old Strand 38. This is the
classic restaurant with the classic fish dishes. Read more here.
Three other selected restaurants and cafes
Vesuvio VOC is an Italian restaurant perfectly located on
City Hall Square 4. Of course, the restaurant Vesuvio has pizza, but
also much more. The prices are for living with, if you consider the location.
Mangal Kebab and the Pizza House are more than an ordinary
take-away restaurant. Here you actually get good quality Turkish specialties
(and pizza, of course) while keeping prices well below the hundred.
Maestro is located just off the national park Parken, more specifically in
Østerbrogade 132 and is perfect for food before or after a match. If
you like grilled kebab or lamb on skewers with rice or
bulgur, humus and salad, you get this good and cheap here.
Café Bankeråt is the place for the intellectuals. Located in
Ahlefeldtsgade 29, it offers breakfast, brunch, lunch, main courses,
beer, snaps and anything else you can think of. The place has reasonably priced
food, lots of charm and inconvenient 80's decor. The place is well on its way to
becoming an institution in itself, and there are many regulars here. Café
Bankeråt is open until 10 p.m. 2400, but the kitchen closes at. 2130. |
