Even in an age of instant news and endless scrolling, there’s something about holding a magazine or flipping through a newspaper that feels satisfying. In Denmark, print media remains popular for lifestyle inspiration, niche interests, and in-depth journalism. Whether you want the weekend broadsheet, a glossy fashion magazine, or a specialist publication about gardening or football, there are reliable places to buy both in-store and online. Let’s walk through where to find them, how to get the best deals, and when a digital subscription might be smarter for your wallet and the planet.
Saxo is best known as a major online bookseller, but it’s also a great place to search for magazines and newspapers—especially international titles and subscriptions. If you’re looking for in-depth features, back issues, or foreign-language publications, Saxo’s catalog can be surprisingly broad. They combine publisher partnerships with a robust search function, so you can find both mainstream and niche periodicals.
Saxo typically offers a mix of print and digital options. Expect European and English-language magazines, specialist journals, and seasonal bundles. If you want historical back issues—say, cultural magazines or a foreign-language newsweekly—Saxo often lists them, making it a useful destination for collectors or expats.
To save, watch for seasonal sales and bundle offers. Sign up for newsletters to get discount codes, and compare subscription prices against single-issue purchases. If you’re after a non-Danish title, Saxo may be cheaper than local physical stores after factoring in shipping or exchange rates.
Rema1000 is a familiar sight across Denmark, and like many supermarkets, it stocks a rotating selection of weekly magazines and tabloids. These are the titles you’ll find when you grab a quick coffee or top up your groceries—practical, popular, and often centered on lifestyle, puzzles, celebrity news, or TV guides.
Magazines at supermarkets serve impulse buyers and bring eye-catching covers into high-traffic aisles. For publishers, visibility at a Rema1000 checkout can generate quick sales. For shoppers, it’s convenient: the price is usually competitive, and you don’t need a subscription or special trip to a bookstore.
Look for local weeklies, hobby magazines, and special themed issues—sometimes seasonal cookery or kids’ activity bundles. These titles are ideal if you want easy reads without commitment, and they’re perfect to leave on your coffee table for guests.
Føtex and Bilka are larger-format supermarkets that often offer a wider catalogue of magazines and newspapers than smaller stores. Here you’ll find national dailies, lifestyle magazines, hobby publications, and sometimes English-language periodicals. If you want more variety under one roof, these stores are worth a quick stop.
Large supermarkets tend to stock special issues—holiday cookbooks, puzzle compendiums, and seasonal fashion or travel magazines. These can be bargain buys, especially around holidays when publishers release expanded editions that sell for the same price as standard issues.
Kiosks and convenience stores like 7-Eleven are ideal for grabbing a daily newspaper or a weekend magazine on the go. They focus on immediacy: morning commuters, lunch-break readers, and travelers. If you’re in a rush and want the latest headlines or a quick read, kiosks are unbeatable.
Kiosks play a crucial role in the print ecosystem by offering impulse purchases and serving niche neighborhoods where larger stores are scarce. Many kiosks also stock local weeklies and community news, which are often not available in larger supermarket chains.
If you prefer browsing physical shelves and discovering curated selections, Bog & idé and independent bookstores are gold mines. These stores often carry subscriber copies, international magazines, and specialty journals that mainstream chains don’t stock. The staff can recommend titles and sometimes place orders for hard-to-find issues.
Buying from a local bookstore helps keep your neighborhood vibrant. Independent stores are more likely to stock niche interests—classic car magazines, regional history journals, or academic periodicals. They may also offer loyalty discounts, in-store events, and author signings that connect you with the magazine’s community.
Digital subscription services have changed how many of us consume magazines. Platforms like Readly provide access to hundreds or thousands of titles for a fixed monthly fee. Mofibo is better known for audiobooks and ebooks, but other services focus on periodicals. Digital subscriptions are ideal if you like to flip through many magazines without cluttering your home.
On the plus side, digital subscriptions are often cheaper than buying individual print issues, and they let you carry dozens of magazines on a single device. They’re also more eco-friendly and instant—no waiting for postal delivery. The downside? You lose the tactile feel and collectible value of print issues, and some niche or international titles aren’t available digitally.
Choosing print versus digital comes down to habits and priorities. If you love dog-eared pages, clipping articles, or collecting special issues, print is for you. If you want convenience, portability, and cost-efficiency, digital subscriptions win. Think about reading frequency: occasional readers often get more value from print singles, while voracious readers save on digital bundles.
Saxo and Bog & idé are good starting points for foreign-language magazines. Larger supermarkets sometimes carry popular English-language titles, but for specialist journals—technical, academic, or hobbyist publications—check online marketplaces, publisher storefronts, and subscription platforms. Libraries also often stock back issues and can give you a taste before you buy.
Subscriptions can be tricky: they’re convenient but easy to forget. To save, compare single-issue prices vs subscription offers, and look for introductory rates. Consider rotating subscriptions—sign up to begin in winter for cooking mags and then switch to travel mags in spring. If you’re trying digital services, use free trials to evaluate whether the library of titles fits your tastes before committing.
Keep an eye on publisher special offers, supermarket multi-issue packs, and seasonal bundles. Many stores use weekend specials or magazine-themed displays to promote bundled sales—buy three for a discounted price, or get special covers with gifts. Social media and newsletters from Saxo or publishers often announce flash sales and exclusive discount codes.
If you care about the environment, go digital where possible and recycle print copies responsibly. Many Danish towns have recycling programs for paper. Consider swapping magazines with friends or participating in exchange shelves at cafes and community centers—this extends the life of each issue and reduces waste.
Stuck in a reading rut? Try a few simple tricks: follow magazine publisher accounts on social media to spot new issues, ask bookstore staff for recommendations, or browse Readly’s featured sections. Sampling through library copies or buy-one-get-one deals reduces risk. Also, listen to podcasts or newsletters about your favorite topics; they often highlight related magazine reads.
Mix and match. Use Saxo or online subscriptions for international and niche titles, grab impulse reads at Rema1000 or kiosks, pick up special issues at Føtex or Bilka, and support local culture with purchases from Bog & idé. This hybrid approach keeps reading fresh, affordable, and convenient.
Before you checkout, ask yourself: Do I want a single issue or a subscription? Is the print or digital format better for me? Can I wait for a sale? Is there a local bookstore or library where I can preview the magazine? Answering these questions helps you make smarter purchases and avoids buyer’s remorse.
Magazines and newspapers are alive and well across Denmark. Whether you prefer the convenience of digital subscriptions, the impulse charm of a supermarket browse, or the curated experience of a neighborhood bookstore, there are plenty of ways to discover your next great read. Use the tips above to find the best stores for your needs, save money, and enjoy the tactile or digital joy of a well-made magazine.
