Discover more about Viking Souvenirs
A souvenir stop in the heart of Strøget
Viking Souvenirs occupies a prime corner of Østergade, one of the liveliest stretches of Copenhagen’s pedestrian spine, Strøget. As you step in from the flow of shoppers, the space feels immediately dense and colorful: shelves stacked to the ceiling, rotating stands of keyrings and magnets, rails of hoodies and T‑shirts printed with Danish flags and Viking helmets. The shop is compact, but its footprint reaches deep into the building, creating the pleasing sense of a small treasure cave just off the busy street. The bright interior lighting contrasts with the often grey Nordic sky outside, turning the store into a kind of beacon for anyone keen to tick “souvenirs” off their city checklist.Viking lore, royal icons and everyday Denmark
The core theme is, unsurprisingly, the Viking age: horned‑helmet caricatures, longship motifs, runic lettering and playful figurines appear on everything from mugs and bottle openers to baby bibs. Mixed among them are icons of modern Copenhagen – The Little Mermaid, red‑jacketed Royal Guards, and panoramas of Nyhavn’s colorful houses. Along the walls you will likely find shelves of shot glasses, plates, snow globes and Christmas ornaments, each repeating a familiar set of images that define Denmark in the global imagination. Clothing ranges from simple flag T‑shirts to warmer hoodies and rain‑ready jackets, handy for travelers who underestimated the Baltic breeze.A practical traveler’s ally
Beyond pure keepsakes, Viking Souvenirs also functions as a practical pit stop. Many items cater specifically to people in transit: small, packable umbrellas, neck pillows, tote bags, luggage straps and occasionally spare suitcases. The store’s role as a luggage storage point adds another layer of utility, offering a convenient option if you want to wander Strøget hands‑free between check‑out and departure. Because it keeps long hours, the shop works well for early planners and last‑minute shoppers alike. The layout is straightforward to navigate, with clearly separated corners for clothing, ceramics, magnets and soft toys, making it easy to home in on what you need even if you have only a short window.Atmosphere among cobblestones and shopfronts
The mood inside is shaped as much by the street outside as by the goods themselves. Through the front windows you see a steady stream of cyclists, families and office workers crossing the cobblestones, while inside you hear a blend of many languages as visitors browse. It is a casual, come‑as‑you‑are environment where people in hiking boots and business suits stand shoulder‑to‑shoulder at the postcard rack. The constant movement gives the place a lively, almost arcade‑like feel, but the modest floor area keeps everything on an intimate scale. You are never far from the door, the counter or the next shelf of curiosities, which encourages quick browsing and impulse finds.Part of a wider Copenhagen souvenir landscape
Viking Souvenirs is one branch of a small local chain that dots central Copenhagen with similar stores, each tuned to the rhythms of the surrounding streets. The Østergade location is especially well placed for combining a visit with nearby department stores, side streets full of Danish design boutiques, and historic squares. For many travelers, a stop here bookends their time in the city: a first visit to pick up a warm hat or raincoat, and a final dash to find small gifts that speak of Denmark’s Viking past and maritime present. Even if you are not an avid shopper, wandering through the displays offers a quick visual summary of how the city chooses to present itself to the world, in miniature, across shelves and hanging racks.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
