Getting There

  • Metro from central Copenhagen hubs

    From major central stations such as Nørreport or Copenhagen Central, take the M1 or M2 metro to Kongens Nytorv or Nørreport and continue by foot into the pedestrian Strøget area; the ride is around 2–5 minutes with frequent departures. A single zone ticket typically costs about 20–25 DKK when bought as a single fare or via a travel card. Metro stations and trains have step-free access, but the final approach through Strøget involves walking on cobblestones, which can be uneven for wheelchairs or strollers.

  • City bus to the old town

    Several city bus lines stop near Strøget and the historic centre, with journey times of roughly 10–20 minutes from inner neighbourhoods depending on traffic. Standard bus fares align with the metro system, usually around 20–25 DKK for short trips within the central zones, and tickets can be purchased via machines, apps or contactless options. Buses are generally low-floor and accessible, but you will still need to walk a few minutes through the pedestrian zone to reach the store.

  • Cycling in the city centre

    Copenhagen’s extensive cycle lanes make it practical to arrive by bike from many central districts in about 5–15 minutes. You can use your own bicycle or rent a city bike from docking stations spread around the centre, with typical pay-as-you-go costs starting around 15–25 DKK for a short ride. Cycling is on dedicated lanes for most of the way, but bikes are not allowed along the busiest stretches of Strøget itself, so you will need to dismount and walk the last part through the pedestrian area.

  • Taxi or rideshare to nearby streets

    Taxis can drop you on streets close to Strøget, usually within a 3–10 minute ride from central hotels, depending on traffic. A short central journey often ranges between 80–160 DKK, with higher prices at night or in heavy traffic. Vehicles cannot enter the pedestrian section of Amagertorv, so expect a short walk along flat but sometimes crowded cobbled streets from the drop-off point to the store entrance.

Fashion on Copenhagen’s Main Pedestrian Stage

At Amagertorv, one of Strøget’s most atmospheric squares, & Other Stories occupies a generous corner of Copenhagen’s premier pedestrian street. The shop fronts centuries-old facades and cobbled paving, yet the aesthetic inside is clean, modern, and distinctly Nordic. Large display windows frame the flow of shoppers outside, while natural light draws you deeper into the store. Here, the brand’s Scandinavian roots sit comfortably within a historic setting. Strøget has long been the city’s showcase for style and design, and this store fits right into that tradition, presenting contemporary fashion against a backdrop of classic Danish urban life.

Inside a Bright, Minimalist Store

Step through the doors and you enter a space that feels more like a studio than a conventional high-street shop. Clothes hang neatly on metal rails, grouped by silhouette and palette rather than crammed together. Accessories line glass shelves and low tables, giving each piece room to breathe. The overall impression is uncluttered and calm, even when the street outside is busy. Muted tones, pale wood and simple fixtures keep the focus on fabrics and cuts. You can easily move between zones dedicated to ready-to-wear, shoes, bags and small accessories, with mirrors and seating areas positioned for trying on outfits or simply pausing to take it all in.

From Scandinavian Ease to Parisian Edge

& Other Stories is known for blending Scandinavian understatement with more expressive European influences, and the Copenhagen store reflects that mix. Racks often balance clean-lined tailoring and neutral knits with bolder prints, statement sleeves or sculptural dresses that reference the brand’s design work in Stockholm and Paris. You will find day-to-day staples like jeans, shirts and relaxed suiting alongside seasonal collections of dresses, outerwear and occasion pieces. The idea is that you can build a cohesive wardrobe in one place, whether you are looking for a single standout item or a set of interchangeable basics for travel.

Beyond Clothing: Shoes, Accessories and Beauty

One of the store’s strengths is how it extends the wardrobe beyond garments. Dedicated displays showcase leather boots, heels, loafers and sneakers, often arranged next to coordinating bags or belts. Jewellery ranges from minimal chains and rings to more sculptural earrings, ideal for adding a subtle twist to a simple outfit. Beauty has its own corner, with neatly presented skincare, body products, fragrances and makeup. The packaging is typically understated, echoing the brand’s broader aesthetic. For travelers, this section is a convenient place to pick up a small gift, a new scent or a travel-sized product with a distinctly Scandinavian feel.

A Handy Stop in the Heart of the City

Because the store sits right on Strøget, it lends itself naturally to a wider day of exploration. It is easy to pop in between visits to nearby squares, churches and design stores, or to make it a planned stop during an afternoon of shopping. The layout encourages slow browsing, so you can take time to feel fabrics, compare cuts and put together complete looks. Whether you leave with a single accessory or a carefully curated outfit, the experience mirrors Copenhagen’s fashion ethos: considered, modern and quietly expressive, with a sense of ease that makes this store feel like a natural part of the city’s everyday rhythm.
