Strøget: Stroget
  • Tip Rating:
  • Stroget is Europe's longest city pedestrian street. It goes its way through Copenhagen's old inner city, with shops full of everything you need: clothes, souvenirs, jewelry, cafes, restaurants, fashion shops etc. It was one of the first streets in the world to be turned into a pedestrian street, in 1962.

    You'll always find there singing, dancing or acting people, nice buildings through your way, many people and of course - something special :-) I even can't count how many times I've passed through it. Sometimes it's great for shopping, as you can find almost all the shops you need. Sometimes it's nice just to walk through without any rush, watch the people and just enjoy the atmosphere.

    And I've read one funny comment of one guy in the Internet about the Stroget. He was so excited to see all these 'models' (Danish girls) walking in Stroget forwards and backwards, forwards and backwards... Hahahaha:-) Maybe this could be a hint for the guys coming to Copenhagen.

    But... you won't find the name Stroget on the street signs or on citymaps. But if you ask a Copenhagener where to find Stroget, you will probably get a clear answer.

    The main street of old Copenhagen – the foot street Stroget. This street changes the name several times on its extent. Its part that adjoins to Radhuspladsen has the name of Frederiksberggade.

    We walked along the Stroget right from there. Then the street is named Nygade, Vimmersk, Amarertorv and Ostergade. Stroget comes to an end on Kongens Nytorv. The street is wide enough, filled by gift shops, cafe and small museums-attractions such as a museum of Guiness records (Ostergade, 16 - daily June-August 9.30-22.00).

    Strøget: Stroget Street
  • Tip Rating:
  • Walking the length of Copenhagen's famed shopping street known as "Stroget" is a delightful way to spend a few hours. The Stroget (pronounced "stroy - et") is a rather long, pedestrian-only street filled to the brim with apparell shops, gift shops, restaurants and quaint buildings. Window displays of the many shops are a feast for the eyes. You can take in another form of free entertainment by watching some of the many street performers who obviously know a good thing when they see it---a captive crowd who will reward their performances with a few Danish Kronor tossed into a hat or even violin case.

    Begin your stroll down the Stroget beginning at Radhus Pladsen, and if you like a good long walk, follow it all the way to Kongen Nytorv and Nyhavn. We walked to Stroget from our hotel 2 days in a row and had dinner each night at "Streckers" cafe because we thought it had a nice atmosphere and the price was certainly right.

    If you're looking for gifts from Denmark, this is the street for it! From inexpensive to the very expensive. If you like postcards like I do, you'll find many choices here too. Although most clothing stores seemed a little expensive for my budget, this is a place to find trendy clothes and shoes, gift shops galore, even a few ice cream vendors to tempt you.

    Both days we walked the Stroget, the mostly narrow little street was crowded. If you wander off into some of the scenic side streets, you won't be disappointed. Perhaps you come upon a rather well-known, little restaurant called "Det Lille Apotek."

    The walking street, or stroget, is not something you would miss, because it goes through the centre of town. It is filled with shops and cafes, but my main reason for going there is its cozy atmosphere. It's one of the places that makes copenhagen what it is. During summer, it is crowded with the cafes' outdoor seating, as well as loads of street performers. During christmas time it is beautifully decorated as in the picture. (Actually decorations start in the beginning of november or even earlier).

    the stroget is a pedestrian street that will take you from radhuspladsen (city hall plaza) north to kongens nytorv (square). the stroget can not be found on a map because it is actually several connected streets. starting at radhuspladsen you walk north on frederiksbergade, nygade, vimmelskaftet, amagertorv, and ostergade which ends at kongens nytorv. the stroget is a pleasant way to transverse central copenhagen. these streets are lined with shops, bars, restaurants and interesting squares.

    Strøget: Stroget
  • Tip Rating:
  • Stroget is a pedestrian area in the middle of Copenhagen. The Stroget area is comprised of several streets and stretches from Radhuspladsen to Kongens Nytorv. Fortunately, the only traffic you will encounter is that of other people. The area can get quite crowded. I found that the lack of cars made the area very manageable. Instead of dodging cars and trams as I have had to in other cities, I was able to wander at my leisure.

    Stroget is lined with stores, cafes, and ice cream shops. Sitting outside at a cafe on a nice day is an excellent way to do some people watching. Cafes will be more expensive as it is a big tourist area.

    In addition to shopping and eating, there are attractions such as the Round Tower, Guinness World Records Museum, and Museum Erotica (definitely don't have one of these in my home town!).

    Strøget: Strøget - the pedestrian street
  • Tip Rating:
  • The world-famous pedestrian street Strøget, is the longest on the planet and inaugurated in November 1962. The shops and department stores along Strøget offer everything from world-famous Danish design to trendy clothing, antiques to e.g. souvenirs.
    Even if you don't want to buy any thing it is fun to stroll along th street.

    Stroget's a great walking street, actually made up of five different streets: Ostergade, Amagertorv, Vimmelskaftet, Nygade, and Frederiksberggade. It runs from Radhusplasden to Kongens Nytorv. On it you can find many fine shops, but also the Guinness World Records Museum, and a few churches and squares along the way. Rundetarn can be found nearby, as well as the Museum Erotica!

    Sadly, the marchers for the wedding kept coming down the street the day I walked it, so the only photo I have is of marchers. I'm sure others have better photos of Stroget.

  • The Stroget is Copenhagen main axe and one of the longest pedestrian street in the world. Its length is almost of 2 kms; it winds from the two main traffic knots: Radhuspladsen and Kongens Nytorv.
    The whole life of the capital is concentrated on the Stroget. There are fashionable shops, charming restaurants, buskers, comicians. The city show is performed all around the clock.

    Strøget: Shopping Centre of Copenhagen
  • Tip Rating:
  • Stroget is made of 5 main streets. This area is shopping bliss courtesy of clean streets and no traffic to contend with for the largest part. There are restaurants, pubs, clubs, activities and a range of well known and Danish stores to give you hours of occupation here. The city centre makes a lovely stroll even if you do not want to spend too much money.
    Bonus - when the queen is in residence at Amalienborg Slot, the Royal Guards march along Ostergade to the palace.
    Bonus 2 - a nice Irish bar (The Dubliner) is right in the middle of the area :-)
