Strædet, Pedestrian zone in central Copenhagen, Denmark.

Strædet forms a car-free retail corridor connecting Town Hall Square with King's Square through a network of shopping streets and historic squares.

The transformation of Strædet into a pedestrian zone began in 1962, following growing concerns about traffic congestion in Copenhagen's narrow central streets.

The Royal Guard marches through Strædet daily at noon toward Amalienborg Palace, maintaining a tradition that started in 1794.

Visitors can access Strædet through multiple metro stations, including Kongens Nytorv and Gammel Strand, with additional bus connections nearby.

In 1967, Strædet hosted a 1.6-kilometer coffee table serving 800,000 cups of coffee and 100,000 pancakes during Copenhagen's 800th-anniversary celebration.
