Latin Quarter

Copenhagen's very own Latin Quarter is made up of 4 main streets (Studiestræde, Skt. Pedersstræde, Larsbjørnsstræde and Teglgårdsstræde), and is known for the variety of creative avantgarde boutiques, as well as second-hand shops and food take-outs. The proximity to the University means the area is always flooded with hip, in-style young students.

Shopping

Copenhagen is great for shopping, both because of the variety of the shops and because the city is compact. Start your shopping trip in the inner city. On Strøget, you will find most of the big chain stores and more exclusive shops. Stroll down the small streets parallel to Strøget and Købmagergade where you will find vintage shops, Danish designers such as Wood Wood, Malene Birger and Henrik Vibskov, and small jewellry and ceramics shops. Streets outside the inner city that are worth checking out are Istedgade, Gl. Kongevej, Elmegade, Jægersborggade and Østerbrogade. Enjoy, and remember your walking shoes.
