Souvenir hunting on Copenhagen’s busiest promenade
Viking Souvenirs sits right on Frederiksberggade, one of the liveliest stretches of Strøget, Copenhagen’s famous car‑free shopping street. Step in from the constant flow of shoppers and street performers and you’re immediately surrounded by colour: shelves stacked high with miniature Vikings, smiling trolls, royal guard figurines and model longships. The focus here is clear – fun, easily packable reminders of your time in Denmark. The shop’s compact footprint means every corner is used, from ceiling hooks hung with caps and tote bags to counters lined with keyrings and lanyards. Bright LED lighting and wide front windows keep the space feeling open, even when it’s busy, and make it easy to browse quickly if you’re on a tight schedule between sightseeing stops nearby.Viking icons, royal guards and Danish design touches
As the name suggests, Viking imagery is everywhere. Look for horned‑helmet caricatures, longship models, carved drinking horns and runic motifs on mugs, shirts and shot glasses. Mixed in are Copenhagen classics: Little Mermaid statues in several sizes, red‑and‑white Danish flags on everything from pins to umbrellas, and statuesque royal guards in their bearskin hats. Alongside the novelty items, there is a practical side. You will find scarves, knit hats, rain ponchos and T‑shirts printed with city scenes or Nordic patterns. Glass baubles, small ceramics and metalware add a touch of Scandinavian style without the designer price tag. Postcards and fridge magnets offer the simplest way to remember specific landmarks you may have visited around town.Inside the atmosphere: bright, busy and informal
The mood inside Viking Souvenirs is casual and chatty, with multiple languages floating through the air as visitors compare finds. Music plays softly above the hum of conversation and the beep of the till, while the street scene just outside the open door adds a constant backdrop of footsteps and voices. Narrow aisles encourage slow browsing, but there is usually enough room to step aside and take a closer look at a shelf. The central counters often feature seasonal items – winter knitwear and Christmas ornaments late in the year, lighter clothing and sunhats in summer – so a quick spin around the middle of the shop gives a snapshot of what’s most relevant right now.Practicalities, opening hours and payment options
Viking Souvenirs typically opens around 9 in the morning and stays open until about 9 in the evening, matching the long shopping day along Strøget. That makes it easy to fit a visit around museum hours or a canal tour, or to stop by after dinner for a last sweep of souvenir shopping. Prices range from very modest for postcards and magnets to mid‑range for clothing, glassware and larger figurines. Like many central Copenhagen souvenir shops, staff are accustomed to international visitors and usually handle several major currencies as well as cards. This makes the store particularly convenient if you are just passing through the city or heading to the airport soon and want to use up some remaining cash.Combining a visit with the historic city centre
Because of its location, Viking Souvenirs naturally slots into a broader wander through Copenhagen’s historic core. The pedestrian street just outside leads in one direction toward the old squares and classical architecture of the inner city, and in the other toward more modern shopping areas and cafes. It works well as a short stop during a self‑guided walk between central sights: you can pause here to warm up in winter or cool down in summer air‑conditioning while you choose a few mementos. With its dense display of Viking figures, Danish flags and city icons, the shop itself also doubles as a quick visual summary of the symbols and characters that define contemporary images of Denmark.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
