Discover more about Viking Souvenirs
Souvenirs in the Heart of Copenhagen
Viking Souvenirs occupies a prime corner at Østergade 1, right on Strøget, Copenhagen’s main pedestrian shopping street. Step inside and you move from the bustle of the city into a compact maze of shelves and display tables, all tightly packed with red-and-white Danish flags, royal guards, and Viking ships in miniature. The shop makes a point of gathering quintessentially Danish symbols under one roof, so you can browse a wide spectrum of small, packable mementos without straying far from the city’s historic core. The atmosphere is informal and practical rather than luxurious. Bright lighting and straightforward displays keep the focus on browsing, with items grouped by theme or motif. It is the kind of place where you can duck in for a five-minute scan or linger much longer comparing different designs of the same emblematic icons.Viking Icons and Danish Classics
True to its name, the store leans heavily into Viking imagery: bearded warrior figurines, horned helmets for playful dress-up, and Viking ship models line entire sections of shelving. Nearby you will usually find magnets and mugs decorated with runes, dragons, and stylised longboats, blending a touch of myth with modern souvenir design. These playful pieces sit alongside more understated items inspired by Copenhagen’s skyline and harbour. Beyond the Norse theme, there is plenty that celebrates the wider Danish story. You are likely to spot Little Mermaid statues, Hans Christian Andersen silhouettes, Royal Guard figures, and designs echoing Copenhagen’s colourful townhouses. T‑shirts, hoodies and caps often feature these motifs in bold prints, while smaller items such as keyrings, bottle openers, postcards and snow globes offer easy options for anyone travelling light.Practical Extras and Luggage Services
Viking Souvenirs also functions as a surprisingly practical stop in the middle of Indre By. Alongside gift items, shelves carry travel-friendly accessories such as umbrellas, tote bags, lightweight backpacks, and simple electronics adaptors, all geared toward visitors who may have forgotten a small essential. Seasonal pieces like woollen hats, gloves or rain ponchos sometimes appear, reflecting Copenhagen’s changeable weather. One of the more convenient features is the presence of luggage storage services. This makes the shop especially useful on arrival or departure days, when you might have a few hours to fill but do not want to roll a suitcase along crowded cobbled streets. Dropping your bags here allows you to wander Strøget and the surrounding squares with your hands free, returning later to collect your belongings and, perhaps, a few last-minute souvenirs.Right on Strøget’s Shopping Stream
Being situated on Strøget means Viking Souvenirs is woven into one of Copenhagen’s busiest pedestrian flows. Just outside the door, street musicians, café terraces and fashion boutiques compete for attention, and it is easy to combine a quick browse here with visits to larger department stores or nearby attractions. The central location also helps if you are staying elsewhere in the city; you can fold a visit into almost any day of sightseeing. Indoors, the bustle softens to a background hum. Space can feel tight at busy moments, but the layout channels people smoothly past racks of T‑shirts, glass ball ornaments, and shelves of mugs printed with Danish slogans. It works equally well for solo travellers on a focused mission and families trying to satisfy different tastes in one go.Choosing the Right Moment to Visit
With long, consistent hours from morning into the evening throughout the week, Viking Souvenirs is easy to slot into your plans. Early in the day the shop tends to feel calmer, making it a good window for more considered browsing and comparing designs. Later, especially mid-afternoon and early evening, the footfall from Strøget often translates into a more energetic, crowded interior, but also gives the space a lively, almost market-like feel. Because it sits indoors in the city centre, the shop is largely weather-proof as an activity. On cold or wet days it becomes an appealing indoor diversion where you can dry off while choosing gifts. On bright summer days, its air-conditioned interior offers a short, cool break before you step back into the sunlit pedestrian street.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
