Strolling on Strøget
Day 9)Just like Toronto's Yonge Street is the longest street in the world, Copenhagen's claim to fame is Strøget. It is Copenhagen's largest shopping area and is centred on Europe's longest pedestrian shopping street, Strøget, and the streets that surround it. Strøget is Denmark's premier shopping street.
International titans like Prada, Max Mara, Louis Vuitton, Cerutti, Mulberry, Chanel, Marlboro, Karen Millen, Hermès and Boss are represented at the Kgs. Nytorv end of Strøget, but if you are shopping on a budget, head further down the pedestrian street, where you will find excellent value clothes in shops like Hennes & Mauritz.
Strøget is also a popular venue for street performers and is a carfree zone. Strøget was created in the 1960's when cars were beginning to dominate Copenhagen's central streets. The street is bounded on the west by Rådhuspladsen (The City Hall Square) and on the east by Kongens Nytorv (The King's New Square).
