The main pedestrian street called Stroget runs from the picturesque City Hall Square, the central square of Copenhagen, to the King's New Square. This street is like the sun with rays in the form of the most colorful streets and alleys of the Danish capital.

The history of the street began in the early 17th century, as evidenced by Stroget's oldest building, dating back to 1616. Most of the buildings date back to the 19th-20th centuries when the street became pedestrian. Until the end of the 19th century, this old quarter was called Ruten. The main metropolitan dandies and fashionistas gathered here, showed their best outfits, gossiped about each other, and had fun.

At first, it was just for a few days before the Catholic Christmas. The owners of trendy restaurants and famous boutiques were against such experiments. But despite their loud protests, the street finally became pedestrian in 1968. Fortunately, the project has been very successful. Both locals and tourists have turned the shopping street into a real city attraction. Moreover, this successful experience has had an impact on other countries and cities. New York, London, and Melbourne followed the Danes and pushed the boundaries of pedestrian urban zones. That's how Copenhagen's Stroget Street became famous all over the world.

Today, Stroget is considered the oldest and longest street in the world. Tens of thousands of tourists walk along it every day, both in summer and winter. Thus, it can be called one of the busiest city streets in Europe. It houses world-famous brand stores and luxury restaurants, as well as small souvenir shops and street bistros. Stroget Street offers fun to suit every taste.
