12 Best Places to Shop in Copenhagen, Denmark

Background Illustration for Shopping

A showcase for world-famous Danish design and craftsmanship, Copenhagen seems to have been set up with shoppers in mind. In fact, the city’s name means the "merchant's harbor." The best buys are crystal, porcelain, and silver. Throughout summer and into autumn, there are six major markets every weekend, many of which sell antiques and secondhand porcelain, silver, and glassware. Bargaining is expected. Check with the tourist office or the Copenhagen City Guide(www.ctw.dk) for street markets.

Look for offers and sales (tilbud or udsalg in Danish) and check antiques and secondhand shops for classics at cut-rate prices. Although prices are inflated by a hefty 25% Value-Added Tax (Danes call it moms), non–European Union citizens can receive about an 18% refund if they are willing to do the paperwork. For more details and a list of all tax-free shops, ask at the tourist office for a copy of the Tax-Free Shopping Guide, or visit the website Global Blue (www.global-blue.com).

Hay House

This is one of the most popular design houses for contemporary Danish furniture and interior design pieces. 

Stine Goya

Indre By Fodor's choice

The most celebrated, hyped, and beloved fashion brand in Copenhagen might just be Stine Goya, run by a model turned designer. She sells colorful silk dresses, playful suits, and embellished shorts that are relatively affordable, given the hype and the high quality of the clothing. Goya made international headlines when she designed a pink, embellished suit for Michelle Obama in 2019.
