Strøget
One of Europe's longest pedestrian shopping streets. It links Town Hall Square with Kongens Nytorv and is lined with Danish design and international brands.
Strøget is about 1.1 km long and was converted into a pedestrian street in 1962. It runs from Town Hall Square to Kongens Nytorv, passing the Illum department store, Magasin du Nord, the Royal Copenhagen flagship store, the LEGO flagship store, and many small Danish design shops. Street performers gather at Gammeltorv (Old Square) and Nytorv (New Square) in the middle section. The east end is close to Nyhavn. The parallel lane Strædet has more independent shops and cafés. Shops generally open from 10:00 to 19:00, and some are open on Sundays.
