Strøget

Fantastic pedestrian street !

A great stroll in a mythical street with so many shopping options and you end up at the Magasin du Nord at its end, which was a highlight for me. Would benefit from better dining options

Shopping, eating and walking around strip. Walk and eat and do alot of window shopping for a day to yourself.

A beautiful place, just watch out for the doctors and engineers lurking around.

A very lively avenue, packed with shops and always crowded. Still, it’s definitely worth a visit

Great street for decent shopping

My fave shopping place so far in Copenhagen!

Nice pedestrian walking street with notable global brands and may luxury brands to satisfy your shopping needs.

This is great city. I could see myself living here for sure. It has the warmth and hospitality that makes a place feel like home to me. It was a vibrant time to come, during the holidays. So much activity, lights everywhere, no sign of snow, Christmas markets, gluhwein. It was a walkable city and there's nowhere I didn't feel at ease.

Stroget is a pedestrian, car free shopping area. It is one of the longest shopping streets in Europe at 1.1 km. There were many luxury brands. We mostly just walked past here and picked up a few souvenirs.

I had a great time enjoying the shops and the lovely atmosphere of the place. It's a great place to visit and see what the new trends are

Mainly writing this for my wife as she did the most damage shopping here. The Stroget is a very long (close to a mile) pedestrian shopping street that is closed off to cars. Just about any type of store is here, local Danish stores, designer brand stores, department stores etc etc. You name it and it's likely here. Copenhagen id relatively expensive compared to many other European cities but if you are a shopper (my wife is) there are some bargains. The best part of Stroget for me was the people watching, locals, tourists, young, old an interesting mix of people.

If you're looking for more upscale shopping, go to Stroget. It's rows of streets of shops and bakeries. It's a pretty nice place to walk through although I see that a lot of shops are similar to what we have in America. There's also a few tourist attractions such as the round tower and lots of other statues to see. I think it's a great place to go if you're looking for a lot of people, but not exactly the place to relax.

Strøget, pronounced as STRO-ell in Danish, is a collection of streets that span from as far as Kongens Nytorv at one end, to Tivoli/Rådhuspladsen at another end, and to Nørreport at another. Strøget is a pedestrian, car-free shopping area where most tourists do their shopping. Strøget offers shopping choices for all budgets, offering low end retailer options as well as high end retailer options. Most of lower end shops are near Tivoli/Rådhuspladsen, and as you walk towards Kongens Nytorv, the shops get more expensive. Strøget has plenty of souvenir shops (look out for the shops that have the cute Viking trolls outside!) for all your tourist needs as well as uniquely Danish stores such as Illums Bolighus and HAY. Of note, there's also a Lego store on the Strøget, which features large Lego Danish guards in the windows (they are hard to miss). I am not much of a big name shopper, so I didn't really glance at the high end stores-- but you name it, Strøget's got it! For those who are not akin to shopping, Strøget contains a lot of old buildings and architecture as Strøget is found within the Copenhagen old city. Definitely a lot of photo taking opportunities for those interested in old world buildings and architecture. My personal favorite photo places along the Strøget include the Rådhuset and Gammeltorv. When's the best time to visit? Earlier in the day, although Strøget can get pretty busy during normal business hours. Strøget at night time is less packed, and can be pretty dead at like midnight (except there will be always be some bar hoppers and stragglers on the street!).

This is one of the oldest walkways in Europe and possibly also longest. Wandered through here on my way back to the hostel. Nice place to shop/ window shop and also lots of souvenir shops and restaurants on the way. The jazz festival was also going on at that time, so they had pop up beer stalls as well. Overall nice way to explore the city, the architecture, the daily life and some of the monuments on the way to Nyhavn from Tivoli (takes about 25 to 30 min). https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g189541-d197739-r524143541-Stroeget-Copenhagen_Zealand.html#

shopping street! let's do some shopping! lots of stores, department stores/clothing stores/shoe stores. Just walk around and see what you like :) Not that interesting since most of the stuff is similar to what we can buy in the States, good to kill some time if you have nowhere else to go.

Strøget bears the distinction of being Europe's longest pedestrian thoroughfare, even though it's really a series of six interconnected streets that stretch from Kongen Nytorv on the east (close to the picturesque harbor at Nyvahn) all the way west to Rådhuspladsen where the ornate City Hall sits (close to the legendary Tivoli Gardens). In other words, this is the congested walk you take between the city's two most popular tourist attractions. It's abuzz with shops of all kinds from high-end fashion stores to down-low tattoo parlors with a lot of restaurants and buskers in between. The more expensive shopping and dining is on the eastern stretch, while the discount stores and fast food options are more likely closer to City Hall. Established in 1962 as an urban experiment, parts of Strøget now are quite trashy, and some sections are still quite nice like Gammeltorv at the midpoint of the walk where the Caritas Well is. This is where most of the musicians play for change and where the hipster rickshaw operators hang out waiting for the next tired tourist. The other congregation area is the quieter Amagertorv Square where various tents appear to be set up for temporary art and music exhibits. Less inviting is Rådhuspladsen, the city's largest square but with a scarcity of benches and an abundance of pigeon poop. This is where a lot of large-scale events take place, but it feels rather barren otherwise. Like Las Ramblas in Barcelona and Calle Florida in Buenos Aires, Strøget provides the gravitational pull for the city it traverses.

The first time I walked down Strøget, I was in awe of all the long intertwining streets that comprised this shopping area. It is like a network of small alleys and long streets dotted with a mix of international brands, some high end Copenhagen stores and fast food places (kebab anyone?) I've returned to Copenhagen few times since then and can definitely confirm this as a tourist trap. The musicians and street performers add to the charm and so do the hotdog vendors you occasionally see. But apart from that, enjoy this just as a place to walk off all the Danish pastries that you inhaled on your trip and keep walking away from it and more onto the side streets to find the independent stores and cute boutiques that are more worth your time and money if you're looking to purchase a true Danish find.

Copenhagen's central shopping district, everything from local spots like Flying Tiger and Troll Beads alongside Prada and Gucci accounted for, The Stroget is a can't miss spot for those living in or visiting the Danish Capital. Great for people watching, public music and dining musts like The American Pie Company and Conditori La Glace the best bet is to visit early and park your bike at one of the available racks as most of the shops close by 18h00.

3.5 stars. This famous pedestrian street is certainly fun to walk down, but it felt a little too touristy and commercialized to me. While there are specialty Danish stores, both sides of the street are really dominated by global fashion brands like Gucci, H&M, Dior, etc. You also have a collection of eateries, but they're often overpriced and not the most authentic. You should still certainly check it out though, as it will lead you to plenty of other cool spots in Copenhagen, but just know you probably won't spend too much time here unless you're doing down serious shopping with a deep wallet.

Ja!! Jeg kan taler lidt Dansk; therefore, this badass shopping street full of everything classy and $$$ is pronounced "STRAW AHLL". Could spend all day weaving in and out of stores, and stuffing my face with the wonderful Dansk pastries when feeling peckish... Bookstores, boutiques, restaurants, cafes.....such a major artery for the City. Stylish and posh....

A crazy popular destination for all walks of life, it's like a Times Square/Union Square/Gran Via/Ramblas/Champs Elysee/name your large city shopping district mix of tourists and locals. Tons of shops, street art/performers, hustlers, eats and whatever else you can think of. If you dont like the crush of humanity, I'd avoid it, otherwise mix yourself into the sea of craziness.

Pros: - Lots of shops, restaurants, and bars here - the price ranges from Burberry to Tiger (cheap store to buy notebooks, pencils, dishes, etc...) - Street performance - a man was playing the saxophone - very European feel - The contrast between contemporary and traditional buildings - Since it's a main street, you can always use it as a reference point (you won't get lost) - Small fruit stands and peanut stands (during the cold days) - great for munching if you're numb from being outside all day - Clean! Cons: - Shops closes early

Strøget is an interesting cross-section of Copenhagen. Tons of shopping, a few restaurants and cafes and super pedestrian friendly. There are little fruit stands that are great when your shopping spree has worked up a hunger pang. My favorite shop on the block is the huge Vero Moda (it's two levels!). One of the biggest downers of the area is that many of the shops close around 6-7PM. Seems to be a big thing in Scandinavia! So be sure to get your shopping on earlier on in the day.

Big long street of shopping! There re souvenir shops, clothes shops, some unique shops like a game shop, some food shops, and so on. Since it's near the city center, I would suggest to walk through it to see whether you happen to stumble on anything you like! There are a lot of people though and the path isn't super big, but there shouldn't be a problem getting to where you need to go!

lots of shops with junk like at a swap meet or pretty much the typical tourist spot lots of restaurants but most are bleh, trashy pop ups, expensive bakeries, again tourist spot fun people watching thought, thousands of people every hour loong walk, about 3-4 miles of shops

I had been advised to check out Stroget by many people who were familiar with the Copenhagen area. I meant to stop by at some point on my trip, but happened to stumble here on accident while in search of a particular item that I needed. Stroget is the typical outdoor European pedestrian only shopping area, with many shops, restaurants and bars lining each side of the narrow streets. It is a bit touristy with all the souvenir gift shops and people out promoting their tourist-y restaurants, but i also saw lots of locals around here doing their normal shopping. One of my favorite things of Europe is seeing people playing music or doing other various street performances. There was something so nice and charming about the group of locals playing christmas music on their instruments out on the sidewalk. I spent many hours wandering around here on a rainy Sunday afternoon and popped in and out of stores to find various souvenirs, snacks and any other goodies i could get my hands on. I would advise to stay away from the restaurants on the main street in Stroget, particularly the ones who advertise "All you can eat" type buffet with some sort of entertainment thrown in for a fixed price. I already learned my lesson in previous travels, places like that are sub-par disappointing tourist traps. Besides that, this area had many nice stores including H & M, Lego, Mango, Illum, Aldo, Louis Vuitton, etc as well as typical Danish coffee shop Baresso and some nice, more authentic cafes (which are tucked down along side streets and more off the beaten path). There is also some nice architecture to look at while roaming around here, particularly a nice church and if you go over by the bridge and look over into the water bordering Stroget, there are cool underwater statues hiding down there. Another hidden bonus that can only be enjoyed here once a year: The Christmas Market! This was a beautifully decorated assortment of huts selling various items along with holiday decorations, etc. Luckily, I found what i had been looking for all along here: an adapter to allow my macbook charger to work with these darned european outlets! For a great price too! Score :)

I can stay there ALL DAY walking around, exploring hidden stores and cafes. There are always people there - not on working evenings though -. The only bad thing about this shopping street is, that they close WAY too early. Around 6 - 7 PM.

Lots of historical buildings and landmarks that meet and end with a commerce touch. Think of it as a more archaic version of Universal City Walk and that's what Stroget is. Yes, there is plenty of history to be found here but there's also lots of bullshit like the commercialization of what literally is the town square. Granted, once you are here then it's very easy to navigate your way through and out of there. There was a spot or two where I thought I had gotten lost but then I remembered where I was at and managed to get back out towards the main streets. It does get crowded in the evenings, so give yourselves some time getting around.

Everyone who comes to Copenhagen will want to check out this pedestrian road lined with souvenir shops, chain stores like H & M and restaurants. It's nothing spectacular but some stores do sell cool Danish design kitchenware and clothing. It's pretty long and you could spend a couple hours wandering, shopping or watching street performers if the weather allows. At a normal pace, if passing through from Nyhavn to City Hall should take no more than ten minutes. My favorite was Royal Copenhagen Flagship Store where I scored a set of Iitala (I know they're Finnish, not Danish)glasses for $25 instead of $100 here in the US!!!

If you are visiting, you will inevitably wind up walking this pedestrian street at some point. It is a very central location where you pass through multiple squares. All of these are great for sitting and people watching, except the Town Hall square at the far end was just a big empty square, not as inviting. Lots of shots here for souvenirs, some are cheaper than others of course. For food, there are a lot of trashy-looking kebab or buffet places, or expensive places with seating on the squares. We found a decent compromise in between these two choices at the Viking House. It wasn't anything special, but a decently-priced sit down meal.

Heavily commercialized pedestrian shopping area, it gets very crowded at times. The streets instead of being quaint and welcoming, give off the air of street hustlers and any grimy big city commercial zone. In fact, we found Copenhagen, in general, to be dirty and unkempt. We visited 35 years ago and the Stroget, while commercial, was at least welcoming and had many small crafty shops. Now it Is full of middle eastern food stalls, souvenir shops, cheap restaurants/bars and bargain basement clothing stores. The few high end stores seem out of place and appear to be falling in line with the surroundings. Now the only purpose it seems to serve is as a straightaway road around the city to any other location you may be going. A good idea gone wrong.

Great shopping area with multiple designer brands. During the summer, they have several sales in multiple stores. We got a lot of good deals! Also, it's a nice area to walk around

Central shopping street with all the basics. The issue is that many of the stores and eateries are below average. Many shops carry Chinese made trinkets. The food found here is fast food or coffee shops. The street is worth a walk if just for the people watching, but keep your money in your pocket.
