Thrift stores in Copenhagen
If you like the hunt, Copenhagen, Capital Region is worth a wander: 194 second-hand and charity shops are mapped here. 107 of them are charity shops and 87 are independent second-hand stores, so Copenhagen gives you both flavours of thrifting in one trip.
This guide covers every thrift store we could verify in and around Copenhagen (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Mødrejælpen and Aalholm Kirkelige Genbrug, plus Drømmeslottet — each with its own personality, which is half the fun. If a shop's missing from Copenhagen's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

What the map tells us about thrifting in Copenhagen
128 of the 194 shops list their opening hours, which is unusually helpful for Copenhagen — thrift stores are notorious for surprise closures. Still, call ahead if you're making a special trip to Copenhagen; volunteer-run shops sometimes close early on quiet days.
67 shops have websites listed, worth a look before you go — some post new arrivals or sale days online.
The Copenhagen thrift circuit
Plot these 194 on a map and the day plans itself: Mødrejælpen, Aalholm Kirkelige Genbrug, Drømmeslottet, Dansk Røde Kors Genbrug, Kirkens Genbrug, Svalerne Fair Trade & Genbrug, Promissio Genbrug, and Kirkens Genbrug. That's the full Copenhagen circuit in one sensible order. 186 more are listed below.
Thrifting tips for Copenhagen
Regulars learn these fast; visitors to Copenhagen can skip the learning curve:
- Shop the wrong season on purpose at Mødrejælpen. Coats are cheapest in spring, fans in autumn. Off-season racks are picked over less and priced to move.
- Ask about the back room at Aalholm Kirkelige Genbrug. Some shops hold overflow donations out back. A polite question occasionally gets you first look at unprocessed boxes.
- Cash still talks. Some small shops prefer cash and a few will deal a little on big items if you're paying cash. Worth having some on you.
- Weekday mornings beat Saturday crowds. Serious pickers go early on weekdays. Weekends are for browsers; the stock is the same but the competition isn't.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Copenhagen — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to for a thrifting run. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new shop in Copenhagen can take a while to appear. The 194 above are only as current as the community map. A shop that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.
Prices at Copenhagen's thrift stores are set by each shop and change constantly, so we don't list them. As a rough rule, charity shops are the cheapest, independents sit in the middle, and anything labelled vintage costs more everywhere — Copenhagen included.
Thrift store listings for Copenhagen: 194 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
