Shopping in Copenhagen
Design is the keyword in Copenhagen. Wander down the long, pedestrianised Strøget street in the central Copenhagen K district for sophisticated Scandinavian fashion, porcelain from Royal Copenhagen, going strong since 1775, and the geometric simplicity of contemporary Danish Jensen jewellery. Locals hunt for bargains at flea markets dotted around the city. For jewellery, furniture or knitwear by young designers, visit Designer Zoo in the western area of Vesterbro in the Copenhagen V district. Most shops are open Monday-Saturday 10am-6pm.
