Local tips
- Visit earlier in the day on weekends to avoid the densest Strøget foot traffic and enjoy more space to browse the compact shop.
- If you are considering clothing, check size labels carefully as Scandinavian sizing can differ slightly from what you are used to.
- Combine a visit with a slow walk across Amagertorv and the nearby squares to see more of the historic centre between shopping stops.
- Look beyond the clothing racks; some of the most distinctive hygge-inspired finds are in the smaller home accessories and prints.

Discover more about Hygge Original
A cozy corner of hygge on Amagertorv
Hygge Original sits on Amagertorv, one of Copenhagen’s most historic squares, right along the bustling Strøget pedestrian artery. Step inside and the noise of the street softens, replaced by warm lighting, soft textiles and shelves lined with Scandinavian-inspired designs. The shop is compact but thoughtfully laid out, with every wall and table devoted to objects that echo the Danish idea of hygge – everyday comfort, warmth and togetherness. Set within a traditional city-centre building, large front windows bring in daylight and offer tempting glimpses of graphic prints, knitwear and ceramics to passersby. The atmosphere is casual and unhurried; this is the kind of place where browsing slowly feels natural, and where small details like natural materials and muted colours invite you to linger a little longer than planned.Scandi-style clothing and Copenhagen souvenirs
Although listed as a clothing store, Hygge Original is best thought of as a design-forward souvenir shop. Racks of sweatshirts, T-shirts and hoodies show clean Scandinavian lines, typically in neutral tones with Copenhagen motifs, minimalist lettering or simple graphics. Many visitors look here for a wearable reminder of the city – something more stylish and subtle than a standard souvenir. Beyond clothing, you can expect shelves of carefully chosen gifts: mugs and cups with Nordic patterns, candles and small home accessories, prints featuring Copenhagen skylines, and playful items that borrow icons from Danish culture. The selection focuses on smaller, easy-to-pack pieces, making it ideal if you are travelling light but still want something meaningful to take home.Design details that capture Danish hygge
The store’s layout and aesthetic do much of the storytelling. Warm woods, soft textiles and a palette of whites, greys and muted tones create a calm backdrop for brighter graphic pieces. Simple displays keep the focus on texture and quality – from the feel of a soft sweatshirt to the weight of a ceramic mug. Nothing feels cluttered; instead, items are grouped in a way that invites you to imagine them in your own living room or wardrobe. Little touches – folded blankets, stacked candles, perhaps a hint of fragrance in the air – reinforce the idea that hygge is as much a feeling as it is a look. Spending time here can be a useful introduction to how Danes translate that concept into everyday objects, especially if you are new to Scandinavian design.Shopping in the heart of historic Copenhagen
Being on Amagertorv means Hygge Original is surrounded by some of the city’s most recognisable architecture, cafés and flagship stores. It makes an easy stop between visits to nearby churches, museums and squares, and you can comfortably combine a visit here with a wider exploration of the old town. The constant flow of people along Strøget gives the shop a lively backdrop, but once inside the pace feels more relaxed. Because of its central location, it can get busy during afternoon shopping hours and on weekends, when both travellers and locals crowd the nearby streets. Many visitors choose to drop in earlier in the day for a calmer browse, using the shop as a gentle pause in a packed sightseeing schedule.Practicalities for a smooth visit
Hygge Original keeps straightforward, extended opening hours most days, usually from late morning through early evening, so you can fit a stop here around museum visits or lunch plans. The shop floor is on street level with a small interior footprint, which is convenient for a quick visit but can feel snug when several groups arrive at once. You will typically spend anywhere from 20 minutes to over an hour inside, depending on how much you like to compare designs and sizes. Prices reflect its central location and design focus, but there is a range of options, from smaller accessories to more premium clothing pieces, so it is possible to find something for a variety of budgets.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
