Strøget

Strøget is a pedestrian-only shopping place in Copenhagen, Denmark. At 1.1 kilometers, this renowned tourist attraction in the city center is one of Europe's longest pedestrian shopping avenues. It has long been one of the city's most prominent streets, located in the heart of the old city of Copenhagen. The pedestrianization of Strøget in 1962 marked the beginning of a fundamental change in the approach of Copenhagen to urban life; following the success of the program the city proceeded to place a far higher focus on pedestrian and bicycle access to the city at the expense of cars. As a result, this strategy has gained international traction.

The main street is bounded on the west by City Hall Square, Copenhagen City Hall's primary town square, and on the east by The King's New Square, another big square at the other end. However, the Strøget region is essentially a cluster of streets that branch out from this main thoroughfare.

Strøget is Copenhagen's largest shopping street and one of Europe's longest pedestrian avenues, featuring a plethora of shops ranging from low-cost chains to high-end names. At the end of the street, facing Kongens Nytorv, major international brands such as Hermes, Prada, Max Mara, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Mulberry are represented.
