Danish Souvenirs & Luggages, Amagertorv

A souvenir hub in the heart of Strøget

In the middle of Copenhagen’s Old Town, where Amagertorv square spills into the busy Strøget pedestrian street, Danish Souvenirs & Luggages glows with light and color behind big street‑facing windows. The shop sits among historic facades and fashion flagships, but its focus is firmly on travellers: shelves and stands are filled with instantly recognisable symbols of Denmark, from red‑and‑white flags to Little Mermaid motifs and Viking imagery. Step inside and you move from the cobbled square into a compact maze of merchandise. Aisles are narrow but navigable, designed so you can quickly scan for gifts between sightseeing stops. The atmosphere is casual and energetic, reflecting the constant flow of people along Strøget just outside the door.

Classic Danish keepsakes to take home

Much of the floor space is devoted to classic souvenirs. Racks of T‑shirts, hoodies and caps printed with Copenhagen skylines, bicycles or cheeky Viking slogans line the walls, while rotating stands display magnets, keyrings and bottle openers. Nearby you will find shelves of mugs, shot glasses and glass balls, many decorated in the national colors. Look a little closer and you can spot items that nod to Danish cultural touchstones: minimalist patterns inspired by local design, bicycles and harbor scenes, or motifs referencing beloved fairy tales. There is usually a solid selection of postcards, along with more practical mementos such as tote bags and umbrellas that still carry a distinctly Danish look.

Luggage, bags and travel conveniences

True to its name, the store is also stocked with luggage and travel gear. Stacks of hard‑shell suitcases and lightweight trolleys stand near the entrance, aimed at visitors who have underestimated their shopping or want a sturdier bag for the journey home. You can also browse backpacks, daypacks and ladies’ handbags, useful both for daily exploring and for the trip onwards. Smaller accessories such as neck pillows, tags and padlocks are typically grouped near the luggage, turning the shop into a one‑stop solution for anyone about to board a train, ferry or plane. This mix of gift items and practical travel products is what sets it apart from more narrowly focused souvenir stalls.

Old Town setting and nearby highlights

Part of the appeal here is the setting. Amagertorv is one of Copenhagen’s most photogenic squares, framed by ornate buildings and anchored by the Stork Fountain, with Royal Copenhagen, design stores and cafés only steps away. Ducking into the shop offers a brief break from the wind or rain while keeping you in the center of the action. Because the area is largely pedestrianised, the streets outside can feel like a continuous open‑air mall. Danish Souvenirs & Luggages slots neatly into this scene, acting as a casual counterpoint to the more upscale design temples nearby, and making it easy to combine a visit with broader browsing around the square.

Visiting practicalities and who it suits

The shop keeps long daily hours, typically from morning through the evening, which is helpful if you prefer to shop after museums close or need a last‑minute gift before leaving town. The entrance is level with the street and the interior is on a single floor, though it can feel tight when busy, so moving a large stroller or wheelchair may require a bit of patience. Most people spend a short time here, often between half an hour and an hour, but it is easy to linger if you enjoy comparing designs and hunting for the right combination of gifts. Families, solo travellers and couples all tend to find something suitable, whether that is a small token or an extra suitcase to hold a growing collection of Danish design finds.
