Illum

One of the few big shopping malls in Copenhagen, Illum is a shopping venue with stores and boutiques displaying both Scandinavian and international brands. There is a grocery store in the basement which is rumoured to offer a nice selection of wines and cheeses.

Shopping

Copenhagen is great for shopping, both because of the variety of the shops and because the city is compact. Start your shopping trip in the inner city. On Strøget, you will find most of the big chain stores and more exclusive shops. Stroll down the small streets parallel to Strøget and Købmagergade where you will find vintage shops, Danish designers such as Wood Wood, Malene Birger and Henrik Vibskov, and small jewellry and ceramics shops. Streets outside the inner city that are worth checking out are Istedgade, Gl. Kongevej, Elmegade, Jægersborggade and Østerbrogade. Enjoy, and remember your walking shoes.
