I love shopping around the world: Copenhagen

This month, for the heading "I love shopping around the world", I'll talk to you about shopping in Copenhagen, the amazing capital of Denmark, a city with a double soul: classic and innovative, multiethnic and functional that I visited few years ago. 

 

As well as a beautiful city, Copenaghen is also a true paradise for shopping. What makes shopping particullalrly attractive here is the fact that it can be done by walkinhg, without the hassle of traffic. Whaterever you're looking for, from porcellains to biggest brands, you'll find it there. As every city, even Copenaghen has its street for shopping. The first one is Stroget, the biggest pedestrian and shopping city.

It's also one of the most important tourist attractionsbecause of the abundance of souvenir shops and amazing views. In this street you will find everything, from low cost to biggest fashion brands.

In Nyhavn - Kastellet district, interesting areas are Bredegade, with its auction houses, art and antiques shops.
