Shopping and relaxation in Copenhagen

Copenhagen’s downtown core may not look big on the map, but you won't find many places elsewhere in the world with so much inspiration concentrated in so small a space. Each neighbourhood has its own special character, and there’s a definite feel that ‘birds of a feather flock together’. Larsbjørnsstræde and Studiestræde are lined with avantgarde, underground and trend-setting boutiques, the Amalienborg area brims with art galleries and sophisticated design, Strøget tempts your inner shopper with department stores and leading brand name shopping, and new Danish fashion blossoms on charming Kronprinsensgade.

When you’ve had enough shopping for one day – or when the kids demand a little child-friendly entertainment – why not head to Tivoli, the Zoo, or the Experimentarium? Or perhaps a trip to the Deer Park combined with a visit to fun-filled Bakken? Copenhagen has something for everyone when it comes to entertainment, and the great thing is that you're never far from somewhere to enjoy a delicious meal or a refreshing drink. The only question is: what are you in the mood for?
