Local tips
- Come earlier in the morning if you prefer more space to browse, as the area around Højbro Plads and Strøget becomes noticeably busier later in the day.
- Use the shop as a final stop before heading to the airport or station to pick up last-minute gifts and, if needed, a spare bag or small suitcase.
- Bring a list of people you are buying for; the selection of magnets, mugs, T‑shirts and figurines makes it easy to choose themed gifts for each person.
- Keep an eye on fragile items such as glass balls and ceramics and ask for extra wrapping so they are better protected in your luggage.

Discover more about Danish Souvenirs
Souvenirs at the Heart of Old Copenhagen
Danish Souvenirs sits right on Højbro Plads, one of the classic squares in Copenhagen’s historic Indre By. Step inside from the cobbled square and the pedestrian flow of Strøget and you are immediately surrounded by shelves and racks that feel designed for travelers on the move. The space is compact but efficiently laid out, with clear sections so you can quickly spot what you are after. The shop is part of a small local chain of souvenir stores around central Copenhagen, and that gives it a polished, professional feel. Bright lighting, clear signage and a logical layout make it easy to scan the room and orient yourself within a couple of minutes.Classic Danish Icons on Every Shelf
Much of the appeal here is how many Danish symbols are represented under one roof. You can browse figurines of the Little Mermaid, Hans Christian Andersen motifs, Viking ships and helmets, royal guards and Danish flags. Nearby stand rows of magnets and glass balls, along with keyrings, mugs, and printed T‑shirts carrying Copenhagen skylines or playful Viking graphics. Further in, you may find seasonal items and practical pieces such as ladies’ handbags, small luggages and travel accessories, making it a handy stop if your suitcase needs a top-up or replacement during your trip. Postcards are often displayed close to the counter, many featuring familiar city views that you may have just walked past outside.Practical Extras for Travelers
Beyond souvenirs, this branch also functions as a small-scale travel resource. The shop is listed as offering luggage storage, a welcome option if you have a few hours to explore the city before checking in or catching a train. This combination of storage and shopping turns the store into a convenient base during a day in the old town. Payment is geared to international visitors: foreign cards are widely accepted, and many similar shops in this group handle multiple currencies and tax-free purchases for larger buys. Long opening hours most days of the week mean you can swing by early in the day or late in the evening, fitting a visit around museums, canal tours and dinners.On the Doorstep of Strøget and Højbro Plads
One of the strongest advantages of Danish Souvenirs is simply where it stands. Højbro Plads opens directly onto Strøget, the main pedestrian spine of the city, so you may find yourself passing the shop several times during your stay. Its corner of the square is within easy walking distance of major sights such as Christiansborg Palace and the canals. The view through the front windows gives you a sense of the area’s rhythm: cyclists slipping by, shoppers drifting across the square, church towers rising in the background. Ducking into the shop can be a brief, useful pause in a busy sightseeing day, especially when the weather turns windy or wet.Browsing, Gathering and Last-Minute Finds
The atmosphere inside is relaxed and unfussy, somewhere between a classic tourist shop and a small general store for travelers. Many visitors use it as a one-stop location to gather gifts for friends and family: a T‑shirt here, a magnet there, perhaps a delicate glass ornament wrapped for the journey home. Because the selection is broad rather than ultra-specialist, it suits a wide range of tastes and budgets. Whether you want a quick, inexpensive token of your trip or a small bundle of higher-quality items, the store’s variety and central setting make it a straightforward, time-efficient shopping stop in Copenhagen’s old town.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
