Secondhand shops in Copenhagen

On this page, we've compiled our picks for some of the best secondhand shops in Copenhagen.

And yes — we put Lidkøb at the top of the list.

Partly because this is our page. Partly because two stores, hundreds of stalls and new items from private sellers is actually a pretty good argument.

The best secondhand shops in Copenhagen

Lidkøb

Østerbro and Nørrebro

If you want to go on a proper secondhand treasure hunt, Lidkøb is a strong place to start.

Lidkøb works as a large secondhand universe with stalls from private sellers. Instead of being a classic charity shop with donations, the clothing comes from people's own wardrobes.

That typically means:

better brands
higher quality
more variety

And perhaps most importantly: the selection changes all the time. Some days you can find everything from Ganni and Samsøe Samsøe to Levi's, Adidas or other wardrobe favourites.

Lidkøb has two stores in Copenhagen — one in Østerbro and one in Nørrebro. So if you want to start somewhere with great variety and good chances of finding something special, it's a pretty good bet.

And yes — that's why we're at the top.

Great for you if you: want a wide selection and the classic secondhand treasure hunt.
