Shopping in Copenhagen

Department stores in the centre
The elegant department stores Magasin and Illum make you feel like you are in the luxury of London or New York.

If you're looking for the latest in international fashion and design, the 25,000 sq. metre department store Illum at Østergade (Strøget) with men's and women's clothing, children's, sports, hard- and kitchen ware; and Magasin at Kongens Nytorv with five floors, offering bookshops, supermarket and a extensive range of commodities to browse through, those two are definitely the right places for you. In the major shopping seasons the malls are incredibly crowded.

Fisketorvet Shopping Centre is relatively new (opened in 2000) shopping mall, located near the harbour on the outskirts of the city centre.

In Hellerup, not far from Strandvejen in the former Tuborg Harbour, there is Waterfront Shopping mall: 8,000 sq.metres of shopping, entertainment, fitness centres etc.

Field´s is another modern mall, one of the largest in Scandinavia, if not the largest one: 115,000 sq.metres, more than 150 shops... It is a great place for kids too - with its so called Capella Play area.
