Local tips

  • Plan a quick scan first: walk the perimeter to spot Viking items, textiles and luggage, then return to the sections that match your budget and suitcase space.
  • Use the long 9:00–21:00 opening hours to avoid the busiest afternoon period; mornings and later evenings are usually more relaxed for browsing.
  • Keep an eye on size and weight if you are flying with hand luggage only; favour magnets, postcards and small textiles over ceramics and glass.
  • If you do not find the design or size you want, ask staff about other Danish Souvenirs branches nearby that may stock similar items.

A souvenir stop in the heart of Strøget

Viking Souvenirs sits on Østergade, one of the busiest stretches of Copenhagen’s pedestrian artery, Strøget. The shop is part of the Danish Souvenirs group, known for stocking a wide range of mementos that capture Danish and Scandinavian themes. Here, bright displays spill toward the entrance, drawing you in from the flow of shoppers and street life outside. Step inside and the first impression is density: shelves, racks and spinning stands filled with small, packable reminders of your time in Denmark. The store’s compact footprint means everything is close at hand, making it easy to browse even during a quick pause between other sights in the historic city centre.

Viking motifs and classic Danish icons

True to its name, Viking Souvenirs leans into Nordic mythology and seafaring imagery. You will find helmets and toy shields, prints of longships, and figurines inspired by Viking sagas, sitting alongside more understated designs that reference runes and knotwork patterns. These pieces offer a playful way to bring a touch of the Viking Age back home. Alongside the Viking range are the staples of any Danish souvenir collection. Expect magnets and glass balls, mugs printed with Copenhagen skylines, keyrings featuring the Little Mermaid or royal guards, and postcards ready to be sent with local stamps. There is usually a spread of T‑shirts, caps and lightweight scarves bearing Danish flags and city slogans, easy to tuck into a suitcase.

Practical buys for travellers on the move

Beyond decorative items, the shop also serves practical needs. Displays often include small suitcases, soft bags and backpacks for those who find themselves short on space after a few days of shopping. Bicycle bell magnets and novelty accessories nod to Copenhagen’s cycling culture, while umbrellas, caps or simple rain gear can be handy given the city’s changeable weather. Because the store is used to serving people in transit, payment is straightforward. International credit cards are widely accepted, and prices are clearly marked, so you can make fast decisions and get back out to explore without delay.

Browsing experience and shop layout

Inside, the layout is straightforward: narrow aisles with vertical shelving, central stands for smaller items and walls lined with textiles and larger pieces. It can feel busy at peak hours, but the compact space also means you rarely overlook something. Many items are grouped by theme, so it is easy to compare different designs of the same type of souvenir. Lighting is bright and functional rather than atmospheric, designed to show colours clearly and help you distinguish between similar products. This makes it particularly convenient if you are choosing gifts for several people at once and need to keep track of sizes, motifs or names.

Part of a wider souvenir network in Copenhagen

Viking Souvenirs belongs to a broader network of Danish Souvenirs shops scattered around central Copenhagen. This means the selection follows a familiar pattern of magnets, t‑shirts, mugs, handbags and luggage, with slight variations from branch to branch. If you are looking for a specific design or size, the staff can often point you toward other nearby branches with similar stock. Its address on Østergade places it within easy walking distance of major sights, shopping arcades and cafés. Many travellers treat it as a convenient last stop before heading back to their accommodation, picking up final gifts and a few postcards to mail from Denmark before they leave.
