8 Nature & Parks in Amager That You Shouldn't Miss
Copenhagen was once a Viking fishing settlement, and you can still find traces of the Norse explorers here. Visit reconstructed villages, the remains of a 1,000-year-old castle, and museums dedicated to the notorious raiders. Copenhagen also features a blend of modern architecture and historical artifacts such as the Round Tower observatory – a wonderful example of 17th-century architecture. Art galleries, narrow streets, canals, parks, and Baroque churches round out the city’s cultural attractions.

First of all let me say that this is a place you want to go when it is not freezing and not raining outside. It is the beach and the best part of the whole area is that it is an amazingly relaxed outdoor experience. I will however add just a little word of caution that when we visited it was not overly crowded and I would not know how busy and packed it gets in summer when temperatures reach the 20's. We cycled the area of Amgerstrand, stopping at various points to admire the view, relax and take in the sea, chill and watch the people pass and just spend a relaxed day out. It was a wonderful experience which, for me, allowed my mind to destress and get back into a normal state. I think a walk/ ride along the sea or ocean can always do this. The cycling was easy, the paths are wide enough for walkers, and cyclists and other forms of transport such as roller skaters, etc. Plenty of places to stop and park your bike as well as well spaced watering holes with coffee and goodies. And public toilets as well. If you are coming by car there seemed to be plenty of parking spaces (though I am not sure if it was paid or not) and public transport would be the Amagerstrand Metro stop for the closest. The whole area is well maintained and a fantastic place to spend a half day or a full day with a picnic if the weather is nice. Plenty of places to do this either on the dunes or on the grassy areas. Lots of promenades to walk along as well if you are in the mood for a leisurely stroll. On the whole a wonderful place, which took me by surprise as for some reason I was not expecting it to be that good!

I visited Den Bla Planet with my sons, 9 and 11 years old. Our transportation and entrance were free with the Copenhagen card, so I can speak only the value I felt in spending our time at Den Bla Planet. It's was very easy to get to from our hotel in Nyhavn with public transportation. We visited in late November, so the weather was of course quite windy, gray, and cold. I was still struck by how beautiful the entire facility is as we approached. Once inside we did find it to be a little smaller than we expected but it still had wonderful exhibits. We really enjoyed the doctor fish nibbling on our fingers and a presentation we caught at the large tank. The boys also really enjoyed laying on the "pier" and watching the rays swim around them.

CopenHill is Copenhagen's epicenter for urban mountain sports. We offer a number of outdoor activities in the middle of Copenhagen. Here, the whole family can be active together on skis, in your running shoes, hiking boots or on the climbing wall. CopenHill is a unique opportunity to do activities at a level and at a height that has not been possible in the city before. We are also a publicly accessible recreational area with a cafe, a restaurant, music and classic apres ski atmosphere. All with the best view of Copenhagen!

A blend of sustainability and urbanization. Wonderful design and amazing Skiing too. Burning trash is less efficient than burning coal or gas to create electricity. Hands off to the architect, he made impossible to make it possible. you will find the view of this building where ever in Copenhagen.
