🇩🇰 Copenhagen Arc'teryx Shopping Guide (Department Stores Edition)

As a Nordic hub for outdoor gear, Denmark offers 15-20% VAT refunds – making it a prime spot for Arc'teryx hunting! Here are the key department stores to check: 1. Magasin Du Nord 🛍️ Location: 4th floor (outdoor section, operated by Spejder Sport) Selection: 2-3 racks of Arc’teryx Alpha SV hardshell, Beta LT in Yukon Gold (3,599 DKK / ~2,950 RMB after refund) Atom vests/jackets (mostly dark colors; Yukon Gold was the only light tone spotted) Vibe: Limited light colors, but solid classic inventory. 📍Address: Kongens Nytorv 13, 1095 Copenhagen 2. Illum 🏬 Location: 3rd/4th floor (sports section) Selection: Few Arc’teryx racks, no mainstream pieces (e.g., no Beta/Alpha series) Focus on Norvan running shells, light windbreakers, and Atom series (2,199 DKK / ~1,950 RMB) No discounts even during mall-wide sales (other brands had 30-40% off) Vibe: Skip unless you’re seeking niche styles. 📍Address: Østergade 52, 1100 Copenhagen 🦉 Verdict: Both stores are hit-or-miss. Prioritize dedicated outdoor shops (see my previous “Outdoor Stores Guide”!) Magasin > Illum for Arc’teryx, but still not as curated as specialty retailers. 💡 Tips: Bring your passport for VAT forms! Refunds require min. spending (usually 300 DKK/receipt). Check exchange rates – prices fluctuate. #ArcTeryx #CopenhagenShopping #TravelGear #OutdoorGuide
