You can also find some souvenirs too. The price of each shop are differ. I bought souvenirs from this shop. I think goods are reasonable price comparing with other shops. I bought keyrings. Popular souvenirs are Little mermaid statue, Royal guard.

In fact, visiting National Museum of Denmark was not in my itinerary but I purchased a Copenhagen card so it's free admission. The location is not far from Copenhagen City Hall and shopping street. When I entered to the museum, I think it's over my expectation, worth to visit here but I had less time. The exhibition was great and interesting. You can explore the history and enjoy the display.
