Large chains such as New Yorker, H&M, Only Moda, Vero offer customers a wide range of fashion products. However, prices are slightly higher than in other countries of the world.

In Copenhagen, there are many shops where you can find lots of vintage and just original products. Flea markets and second-hand shops traditionally offer lower prices.

If you make a purchase of more than 300 DKK, you can get some money back. In this case, you get a receipt for the return of about 15-20% of the amount spent. To return the funds, you must fill out a special form that allows you to get a discount. However, making purchases in one store is not required for this. In Denmark, it is not customary to bargain with sellers, trying to reduce the price. It is only accepted at flea markets, but try to be very cautious. It is important to remember that not all Danes speak English. When shopping in Denmark, keep in mind that local shops accept only the national currency.
