Discover Amager! Copenhagen’s Urban Island
Amager was once seen as Copenhagen’s rough edge, but today it has become one of the city’s most exciting and livable districts. The island blends modern architecture, urban culture and open nature in a way that few places can match.
Here, futuristic buildings stand next to green meadows and beaches, and you can bike from city centre to coastline in less than 20 minutes. The Metro connects Amager directly to the rest of Copenhagen, making it easy to explore whether you are heading to Amager Strandpark, CopenHill or the cafés near Islands Brygge.
Amager is where locals go to enjoy both city life and space to breathe — a perfect area for backpackers who want to see Copenhagen beyond the tourist spots.
