The longest pedestrian shopping street in Europe - Strøget

For all shopaholics, Copenhagen is the city for you as the main shopping area, Strøget boasts a length of around 3.2km of diverse shops starting from the Town Hall Square ending at Kongens Nytorv. Here, you will find the most of your fashion labels and also some of the city's famous stores like Illums Bolighus and the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain.

I've always like Scandinavian furniture and design so I can spend hours in Illums Bolighus. Do drop by this store while you are here.

Taking the metro to the Central Station, you will be awed by the majestic Copenhagen City Hall. Here at the Town Hall Square, we were entertained by some streets performance and the square was always crowded with people walking through to the shopping streets of Strøget or making their way to the amusement part, Tivoli Gardens which is just a stone's throw away.

Brace yourself as you are about to embark on the longest pedestrian shopping street in Europe. As you stroll down the countless shops along Strøget, you will arrive at the Amagertorv. You will see the iconic Stork Fountain that has become a meeting spot for many people over the years.

Continuing our way from Amagertorv to Kongens Nytorv, we came across another popular Danish trademark, Lego I have spend my early years assembling Lego blocks into castles and other architectures. So, Lego has became an integral part of my childhood. =)

Strøget has lots to offer and you can spend the whole day here shopping. When your legs are tired, there are always cafes nearby to get some drinks and rest before you get back into the shops again. Nearing Kongens Nytorv, you will find the luxurious international brands like Louis Vuitton, Rolex, etc. I'll leave you here to explore this shopping street yourself. Happy shopping!!
