Local tips

  • Visit earlier in the day on weekends to avoid the heaviest foot traffic on Strøget and have more space to browse the shelves.
  • Bring a short gift list and an extra tote bag; it is easy to find many small items here, and carrying them is simpler with your own bag.
  • Check clothing sizes and label information carefully, as some designs are sized to European standards and can fit differently than at home.
  • If you pay in foreign currency or by card, confirm whether the terminal uses dynamic currency conversion and choose the option that suits you best.
  • Leave fragile ceramics or glass items for last in your shopping round so you can carry them safely without juggling other purchases.

Souvenir hub in the heart of Strøget

Copenhagen Souvenir & Design at Østergade 11 occupies a prime spot on Strøget, the city’s famous pedestrian shopping street. Stepping inside from the busy pavement, you move into a bright, merchandise-filled space that feels purpose-built for browsing. Aisles and wall displays are packed tightly but remain navigable, encouraging you to wander slowly and let your eye catch on colourful details. The store is designed as a convenient, all-under-one-roof stop for gifts and mementos, meaning you can cover a lot of ground quickly without leaving the city centre. Its location also makes it a natural pause point between nearby landmarks, cafés and department stores.

Classic Copenhagen icons and everyday gifts

The core of the shop’s selection is unmistakably Copenhagen-themed. You will see multiple versions of the Little Mermaid, soldiers from the Royal Guard in red jackets and bearskin hats, and nods to Hans Christian Andersen and Viking imagery. These range from small keyrings and magnets to figurines, snow globes and decorative items suited to a shelf at home. Alongside the icons, there is a wide choice of practical souvenirs. T-shirts, hoodies and caps printed with Copenhagen motifs hang near displays of mugs, tea towels, shot glasses and tote bags. Stands of postcards, often with stamps available, make it easy to send a quick note home. The mix allows you to pick something simple for colleagues as well as more personal keepsakes.

Danish design flavour on a friendly budget

Although it is a tourist-oriented souvenir shop, there is a clear attempt to weave in a sense of Danish design. Clean lines, simple colour palettes and playful yet minimal graphics show up on items like textiles, stationery and small home accessories. These pieces make attractive gifts that still feel rooted in Denmark’s design reputation. Price points are generally accessible, with many small items costing only a few euros, and mid-range options in clothing and decorative pieces. The store typically accepts a broad range of international payment cards and often several major foreign currencies, which simplifies shopping if you are short on Danish kroner.

A practical stop during a day in the city centre

Because of its central position, Copenhagen Souvenir & Design is well suited to a quick drop-in during a day of sightseeing or shopping. Opening hours usually span from morning into early evening through the week, with slightly longer hours on some weekend days, giving flexibility whether you visit before museum openings or after dinner. The layout is straightforward: clear categories, repeated motifs and easily visible price tags help you move fast if you are short on time. Staff are used to helping international visitors, and the straightforward product selection makes language less of a barrier.

Shopping logistics and nearby comforts

Being on Østergade means the shop is surrounded by cafés, bakeries and larger fashion stores, so it is easy to combine a souvenir run with a coffee break or a longer shopping session. You are in the middle of a pedestrian zone, so there is no through-traffic noise, only the hum of street life and occasional buskers. The shop is compact but on one main level, which can help those who prefer to avoid stairs, although space may feel tight at peak times. You are within a short walk of public restrooms in nearby department stores or squares, and the broader area offers plenty of spots to sit once you step back out onto Strøget.

Who will enjoy this stop

Copenhagen Souvenir & Design is especially useful for travellers who like efficient, central shopping. Families can quickly outfit everyone with a t-shirt or magnet, while solo travellers might gravitate toward design-leaning gifts for home. It is also handy at the end of a trip, when you realise you still need a small token for someone back home. While it is not a gallery or museum, it does provide a compact visual summary of the city’s most recognisable symbols. For many visitors, this makes it a satisfying last stop: a place to translate the sights of Copenhagen into tangible objects you can pack into your suitcase.
