Copenhagen department stores were a learning experience for me
There was excitement in the air. Maybe it was just my own. I had put Illum and Magasin du Nord on my Copenhagen itinerary early in my trip planning. Once I was in country, I was giddy, like a 90s teenager who had been dropped off at the mall. Truthfully, Magasin du Nord is a…
