Shopping in Denmark is not a particularly popular activity, mainly due to consistently high prices throughout the year. There is no distinct selling season in Denmark. Therefore, those interested in a shopping tour in Denmark should keep an eye out for sales in specific stores at various times.
In Copenhagen, the Strøget shopping district is a must-visit. It's brimming with boutiques, stores, and souvenir shops. You can also explore flea markets to discover antiques and vintage items. The world-renowned designer clothing of Denmark is particularly noteworthy, although it can be quite expensive, if within your budget, it's definitely worth the investment.
Most stores in Denmark typically open at 9:00 or 10:00 on weekdays and close between 17:30 and 20:00. On Saturdays, stores usually close at around 16:00-17:00, and on Sundays, only a few department and grocery stores are open, often in popular tourist areas.
