Copenhagen Strøget/high street The following is a brief introduction to retail destinations in central Copenhagen, includ ing the Copenhagen high street, and other important retail destinations.

Benefitting from direct Metro access in its basement, the Magasin du Nord department store at Kongens Nytorv has succeeded in retaining a strong customer flow, securing its position as a strong competitor to Illum. Kongens Nytorv has in recent years come into play as a high-street location. Similarly, activity is brisk at Store Strandstræde, which runs off it. Although not considered a prime high-street location, the Købmagergade/Frederiksborggade area, including the Kul torvet square, attracts substantial footfall and visibility. The lower end of Strøget, including Vimmelskaftet, termi nating at Rådhuspladsen, today features a mix of traditional retail shops, bars, restaurants, etc. In 2019, the opening of the CityRingen metro line (M3), with a station at Rådhus- pladsen, greatly improved the area’s accessibility. The improved accessibility was intended to give this part of Strøget a substantial lift to better align prime and second ary high-street locations. In addition, a small consortium, backed financially by the City of Copenhagen, has formed to revive Frederiksberggade.

The Copenhagen high street Made up of the pedestrian streets of Strøget and Køb magergade, the Copenhagen high street runs some 1.8 km with specific locations considered either prime or second ary. Prime high-street retail locations are typically found at Østergade, the Amagertorv square and the upper end of Købmagergade, defined as the stretch from Amagertorv to the Skindergade area. Secondary locations include the remaining parts of Strøget, terminating at Rådhuspladsen (City Hall Square), and the stretch of Købmagergade from Skindergade to Kultorvet and Frederiksborggade, includ- ing the Nørreport station area. The Amagertorv area and the upper end of Købmagergade feature a mix of international brand retailers and the Illum department store.
