Copenhagen
Copenhagen's shops are compact and walkable, clustered in the old town within a few streets of one another. Saturdays close early, so plan the serious shopping for a weekday.

Neighbourhoods
Navigate by area, not by list. Each is a relaxed half day.
Indre By
The old centre: design flagships on the main streets, independents one block away.

Practical
Before you go
Shops close early on Saturday. Tax-free forms are common in the larger stores.
After hours
The old town has the bars; Vesterbro has the better dinners.
