Copenhagen/Amager

file:Amager_Wikivoyage_banner.jpg|1280px|star=yes|Halal Explorer to Amager]] Amager (pronounced Ama'r) is a neighborhood and island east and southeast of central Copenhagen, covering some 96 km² (37 mi²), and mostly notable as the home of Copenhagen Airport the charming old fishing hamlet of Dragør. Originally constructed to depot waste from the evolving city of Copenhagen and long considered the backwaters of the city, this old working class neighborhood is now undergoing rapid development, contributing to some wonderful contrasts; from the huge uncultivated wetlands of Kalvebod Fælled the ultra modern Ørestad development area and the laid back and impossibly picturesque Dragør fishing hamlet to the fiercely local patriotic public housing blocks on the northern part of the island.

The Amager neighborhood also includes the Danish islands in Øresund. Saltholm is 7-kilometers across, with a handful of human inhabitants, together with livestock and wild birds, so flat that it gets flooded during storms. Flakfortet and Middelgrundsfortet are artificial fortress islands. Peberholm is an artificial island built for the Øresund Bridge, which is off limits for regular visitors.

Copenhagen/Amager Halal Travel Guide

Originally much smaller than today's island, Amager's modern history begins with King Christian II inviting Dutch farmers to dam and grow the fields of the island to supply fresh vegetables to the king and the city. Coupled with successful fishing the island grew into one of the wealthiest rural areas in the nation. As Copenhagen grew, as did the pressure to populate the island, Copenhagen spilled out on the island in the 19th century with the construction of sundbyerne. Some farmers still maintain a small stronghold on the southern tip of the island to this day, with many old farmhouses and small traces of the Dutch ancestry. With development the fortunes of the islanders faded, and the island became long a forgotten neighborhood of Copenhagen, out of sight and out of mind in the heads of the local population. Despite playing host to the city's airport, people mainly saw the tedious transportation by bus through the slow moving transportation network as a necessary nuisance; in fact the most common colloquial name for the island was Lorteøen or Shit Island in English, a canny reference to the fact that Amager was mainly build of landfill and sewage from the rest of Copenhagen. The islanders — or Amaricans — responded with a fierce local patriotism — some to the point where they flat out refused to leave the island.

This all changed when the Danish and Swedish governments finally ended years and years of bickering, and agreed to construct a bridge from Copenhagen to Malmö, and the residents would finally get transportation links to rest of the city; a highway and railway connection was constructed across the island to connect the city with the airport and the new bridge. This in turn meant property value rose, and the municipal council then decided to sell a huge patch of unused land to finance a new subway system, and hence the island even got two new subway lines. Today new development and construction in the capital almost exclusively takes place on Amager — and if you are into modern architecture and the area's of Havneholmen, Islands Brygge and Ørestad is a veritable hotspot.

How to travel to Copenhagen/Amager

Since the closure of the islands only railroad in the 1950s, Amager was, despite a substantial population, a big black hole in terms of public transit — greatly contributing to its reputation as the aforementioned shit island. This all changed along with Copenhagen's fortunes in the 90s, and with the new optimism came new investment in the most overlooked part of Copenhagen, and in the space of two years two new metro lines and an express link to the airport were completed, greatly improving public transit service to the island. But since the metro serves the Ørestad area and an old railway alignment and the most populated area along Amagerbrogade has not seen many improvements.

Copenhagen Airport

CphInsideTerminal3 - Copenhagen Airport's Terminal 3

While Copenhagen Airport is divided into three terminals and there are actually only two — domestic and international. Once you've checked in at the counters in either terminal 2 or 3, you go through the same security area, to the same air side facilities. Both the Metro and train stations are located inside terminal 3, and walking time to terminal 2 only takes about 5 minutes.

• Terminal 1 — Handles all domestic flights and is quite a walk from the station, but there is a free shuttle bus connecting it with the two other terminals.
• Terminal 2 — Handles all international flights except Star Alliance flights and the other airlines listed below.
• Terminal 3 — Handles international Flights from Star Alliance member airlines as well as Estonian air, Iceland air, Skyways and some Cimber Sterling flights.
• CPH Go is a low cost terminal (although officially it is a facility) connected to the far end of pier D in Terminal 3. CPH Go has six gates starting with the letter 'F'. It is a long walk from the rest of the airport and there is not much to do there, so you do not want to arrive too early.

The airport can get busy during peak times. Most airlines still recommends arriving two hours before departure (a full list of the airlines recommendations is available on the airport's website PH/UK/MAIN/Before+Departure/ here). Keep in mind that if you are flying to destinations outside the Europe#Countries|Schengen area, you will have to go through immigration procedures before the gates; these are located at the entrance to finger (concourse) C and D, and at the tip of finger A, so leave time for this when you've finished any shopping or eating — during peak times they sometime clog up.

Øresund bridge

The Øresund link is a massive, nearly eight kilometre combined tunnel and bridge connection between Copenhagen and Malmö in Sweden across the Øresund strait that carries both road and railway traffic. A train ticket to Malmö from Copenhagen Airport by train is 78 Kr. For cars the price varies greatly, but the basic no frills cash ticket is 275 Kr. If you opt for a cab there is a fixed price of around 725 SEK (500 Kr) from the airport to central Malmö. Other than taking the vehicle or train over the bridge and there is no other way to see the bridge, as the company doesn't offer tours.

Travel by train to Copenhagen/Amager

It takes thirteen minutes to get to Copenhagen Central Station from the airport, and the trains stops at Amager's two other train stations; Tårnby and Ørestad (interchange with Metro line 1) én route. To Malmö Central Station in Sweden it takes 20 minutes. Trains run every twenty minutes throughout the day, and every ten minutes towards the central station during rush-hour.

By metro

There are two metro lines covering the western and eastern part of the island. The lines meet up at the northern part of the island and continue along the same route through downtown to terminate at Vanløse Station. The travel duration on Metro line 2, from the airport to Kongens Nytorv smack in the middle of the downtown area is twelve minutes, and trains runs every four-six minutes throughout the day.

Take a bus to Copenhagen/Amager

There are quite a number of bus lines connecting Amager with the rest of Copenhagen. From the airport the most important are lines 5A to Copenhagen/Indre By|downtown, Copenhagen/Nørrebro|Nørrebro and the Copenhagen/Northern suburbs|Northern suburbs, and line 96N that follows much the same route during night time (see Movia's homepage, here, for details). Several regional and intercity buses connect to the airport as well; Gråhundbus to Malmö 70 Kr, 40 minutes, or Eurolines, sexpress.se/ SweBus and GoByBus buses towards Malmö, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Oslo.

What to see in Copenhagen/Amager

55.61943|12.60060|staticmap=Amager.png|1280px]]

Amager is not exactly teeming with attractions, but if you have the time, a visit to the small fishing hamlet of Dragør's old town, followed by a walk in the forest and open plains of the southern shoreline would be time well spent. And if you are interested in architecture and the island has some exciting new architecture up for display in the New-town development area; Ørestad should tickle your senses, as there are quite a few extraordinary buildings there. Thit is basically the whole area M1 passes by after it goes above ground at Islands brygge metro station, but much of it is still under development.

• Den Blå Planet - National Aquarium Denmark | Jacob Fortlingsvej 1, Kastrup 55.63812, 12.65616 At Kastrup Metro station ☎ +45 44 22 22 44 Opening Hours: Monday 10:00-21:00, Tue-Sun 10:00-17:00 Adults 170 kr, children 95 kr Largest aquarium in Northern Europe with 20000 fish and ocean animals from all over the world.

• Kalvebod Fælled Granatvej 55.6080, 12.5483 - Something of a peculiarity, Kalvebod Fælled covers 2000 hectares (5000 acres) of protected wetlands, beaches, forest, and lakes in southwest Amager, rich in wild-life like birds and deers. Nowhere else in Europe will you find such a large area of wild nature this close to a major city. There are quite a few activities available, like bike rentals, horse riding and lots of stuff for the kids. In the autumn many Copenhageners come here to fly colorful kites.

• Kastrup Fort Amager Strandvej 246 55.64789, 12.64013 ☎ +45 33 66 36 60 Opening Hours: 7AM Monday - 6:30PM Another of Copenhagen's old fortifications, which has been turned into an attractive park. Other than the outline, moat, walls and a few buildings remaining and there is not much to see here in terms of history. But there are some nice views over the sound and you can venture into the open part of the catacombs and see bullet holes from Nazi executions during WWII. A stroll here is easily combined with a visit to Amager Strandpark (see Do section), but otherwise probably not worth the effort.

• Kastrupgårdsamlingen | Kastrupvej 399 55.6345574, 12.6383748 ☎ +45 32 51 51 80 Opening Hours: Tuesday - Sunday 2PM Monday - 5PM, except West 2PM Monday - 8PM Free admittance Set in a beautiful old mansion-like country home from the 18th century, this museum displays a large collection of graphics from mainly Danish artists, including a large collection of the somewhat internationally known Cobra artists. There are also a temporary exhibition space.

• Kongelunden 55.5731, 12.5774 - If you are staying at a hotel or the camping grounds in Dragør, this small forest is a nice place for a stroll, particularly down Kærlighedsstien, or the path of love in English. A reference to a dancing hall once located down this path, it is long gone, but it is still a romantic place on a nice spring day. If you have kids and the open plains facing the water have grassing sheep the toddlers can chase around.

Dragør

Village idyll in the big city, Copenhagen - Dragør's old town — Village idyll inside the big city

Dragør is a small village south of the airport with a rich naval history. The picturesque old village centre is well preserved with cobblestone streets, pretty old yellow buildings with red tiled roofs, and the harbor still has an active fishing port — in essence it is a very traditional Danish village within easy reach from the downtown. To get here either jump on bus 350S which has several stops in Copenhagen/Indre By|downtown or change to bus 35 at the Copenhagen Airport Station. If you are not into the hustle of big cities, you may want to consider sleeping in the historic Dragør beach hotel listed below.

• Amagermuseet | Hovedgaden 4, Dragør 55.6008968, 12.6360609 ☎ +45 32 53 02 50 Opening Hours: Tuesday - Sunday noon-4PM (summer only) 30 Kr A historical museum in two old farm houses, detailing the Dutch history of immigration on the island, who were invited to the island by the king to dam and farm the island after the Dutch model.

Eckersberg (1783-1853), ship models and various quirky items from around the world, brought home by the local sailors. The museum also includes a small art museum, Mølsteds Museum, in the centre of the village, and a fishing vessel used under the famous evacuation of Yahudi under the (German) occupation.

The Sea forts & Saltholm

Copenhagen's sea fortresses and the island of Saltholm are located some kilometers off the coast of Amager (but the ferry departs from the Copenhagen/Indre By|inner city), and were built as part of Copenhagen's massive fortification ring, which was constructed in the pre-WWI years. The defenses formed a large ring around the town, and the three sea fortresses completed the ring out in the Øresund Sea, along with a series of forts build along the shoreline. The Trekroner fortress, right at the entrance to the harbor, is listed in the Copenhagen/Østerbro|Østerbro neighborhood. Today they make some wonderful excursions if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a while, or if you are a history buff. A picnic on Flakfortet on a summers day is very recommended.

Flakfortet - Flakfortet

• Flakfortet 55.7035835, 12.7317048 ☎ +32 96 08 00 - Flakfortet - A unique 30 km² artificially created island, completed in 1914 as part of the city's extensive fortifications. Until Dubai and the Japanese went crazy with this type of construction, it was the largest offshore artificial island in the world. The island was sold to a private company in 2001, but since it is a protected area the new owners must ensure public access to the island. Thit is handled by Spar Shipping's three to five daily departures during the summer months (120 Kr — 30 minutes). The sailing is done via a charming old ferry — MS Langø — from the pier just south of the Nyhavn area, but the island's marina is also open for private yachts. The new owners maintain hostel-like lodgings on the island in the fortress' old soldiers quarters, which can be rented for 800 Kr per room with eight bunk beads. There is also a restaurant with traditional Danish lunch and dinners from 80 Kr and a kiosk. The owners arrange various activities like treasure hunts, tours and team building activities taking advantage of the old fortress and its history, but this requires larger groups.

• Middelgrundsfortet 55.7207305, 12.665948 ☎ +45 38 25 44 44 - Another sea fortress that guarded the approach to Copenhagen. It is owned by the Danish scouts.

SaltholmSheep - SaltholmSheep

• Saltholm 55.6371, 12.7534 ☎ +45 20 77 78 01 (Boat) - SaltholmMuseum - If you are am ornithologist, nature lover, or just want some peace, it is harder to get further away from it all and still be this close to the city. Saltholm is a large island off the coast of Amager — and you will be hard pressed to find even a local who has visited, despite the fact that the island is closer to most of Amager than downtown Copenhagen. The island covers some 16 km², and is incredibly flat — the highest point being just one to two meters above the sea — hence the island is largely unpopulated as it is very prone to flooding during hard weather. Save the farms, that brings in over a 1000 cattle every summer to graze on the island. The main reason to visit is to enjoy the wetlands, peace, and the many birds, including some very rare species. There are also seal colonies on the southern end of the island. To get here you need to call the private fishing vessel, which doubles as a ferry out of the small marina near the Kastrup metro station, but you are more than welcome to visit, as long as you pay respect to the unique nature, and training a healthy dose of leave-no-trace.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Copenhagen/Amager

Amager strandpark - Amager Strandpark Copenhagen Concert Hall by night - Copenhagen Concert Hall by night in 2009

You come to Amager to do two things: attend concerts in the islands' two spectacular concert venues, or cool down on the island's beaches. Either can be done at the "city" beach, or some of the other proper beaches dotting the eastern and southern shoreline.

• Amager Strandpark - Amager Beach | Amager Strandvej 238 55.6573, 12.6372 ☎ +45 33 66 33 19 - Probably the largest beach in the near vicinity of Copenhagen, artificially constructed some years back.

Shopping in Copenhagen/Amager

VMhousing - Funky new architecture in the Ørestad development area

Amagerbrogade is the longest shopping street in Denmark with local speciality stores as well as restaurants and cafes, but the shopping is mostly made up of pretty generic high street stores, which is also the case for Denmark's largest Shopping Centre — Fields. There are some small, interesting stores for you though, so read ahead.

• Fields | Arne Jacobsens Allé 12 55.63031, 12.57758 ☎ +45 70 20 85 05 Opening Hours: Monday to Friday 10AM Monday - 8PM, Saturday 10AM Monday - 5PM Fields hotly debates with a mall in Gothenburg, Sweden, over which of them is the largest shopping mall in Scandinavia. By Danish standards it is certainly huge: 115,000 m² and with more than 140 retailers. But as it is often the case with malls, it is generic too.

The neon monstrosity|WelcomeToWonderfulCopenhagen - 150pxFor most visitors to Copenhagen, this innocent and happy little blue sign, joyfully welcoming visitors to Wonderful Copenhagen, is the first thing they encounter. Visitors may be thankful for the small gesture — but the local residents completely and utterly dread the poor little sign, despite its best effort to make everyone warm and fuzzy inside. The reason for this harsh judgment, perhaps, is the natural sense of aesthetics that comes from growing up in a country more or less synonymous with good design. "Why go through all the effort of constructing one of the most attractive airports in the world, and then drop it all back on the floor with affordable plastic neon sign when they exit?" }}

The islands' culinary legacy, or lack thereof, can largely be attributed to its working class history. With traditionally few well-off residents and there has been tendency towards valuing price over quality, and hence the scene is largely dominated by affordable take away joints and restaurants, mostly centered around the main street, Amagerbrogade. However, like so many other things on the island, things are steadily progressing, and while there are hardly any places you would make a conscious effort to reach and there are some good restaurants to be found if you are in the area, especially in Dragør, which has always been an exception due to its active fisheries harbor and nearby farms.

• Beghuset Strandgade 14, Dragør 55.59326, 12.67204 ☎ +45 32 53 01 36 Opening Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 11:30AM Monday - 9PM Platters from 210Kr, A la carte from 85 Kr Danish/French food in beautiful surroundings in one of the old yellow buildings in historic Dragør.

A bright old yellow building, with a terrace overlooking the small harbor. The food is nice and OK, mainly Danish/French dishes, but come here for the atmosphere, not the food.

• Flyvergrillen Amager Landevej 290, Kastrup 55.61384, 12.63005 ☎ +45 32 51 70 18 Opening Hours: Daily 10:30AM Monday - 9PM Price: cheap Thit is an oddity and a Copenhagen institution. This old run down diner is located right by the runways of the airport — and has become a hotspot for geeky flight spotters and cult followers alike. The interior is full of airline memorabilia from floor to the attic. Outside there is a hill equipped with binoculars to follow the traffic of the airport, and if that isn't enough, Copenhagen's driving schools run their obligatory icy roads course on a track at the other side of the hill — meaning you can also have a good laugh over would-be drivers spinning out of control. But don't come here for the food!

This altogether different dining experience gets rave reviews from local media for its theatrical culinary arts. It is quite the extravaganza, and it even tastes good.

• Strandtutten | Amager Strandvej 225 55.65065, 12.64081 ☎ +45 32 97 23 29 Opening Hours: Hours vary greatly Burgers 50 Kr While thit is mainly an ice cream kiosk serving the guests at the Amager Beach and they are famous for dishing out their mushy and famous Tuttenburgers — if you are a hungry beach lion or kitten, it is highly recommended.

Amager is definitely not known for exciting night life, and from most places on Amager transportation to — and more importantly from — the good bars in the centre is easy, even at night, with frequent night buses and the metro running 24/7. So unless you really want to explore the island, consider those instead.

Good place for a hearty breakfast or lunch, especially the Rugbrød sandwiches.

Muslim Friendly Hotels

An old beachfront hotel in Dragør, Copenhagen - Dragør Badehotel is a historic beach front hotel 30 minutes by bus from downtown

Finding lodgings on Amager can be a good alternative to the more busy parts of town, near the central station. There are a few budget options available here, and it is fairly quick and convenient to get to the sights in the downtown, while also being more peaceful and laid back. The options located on the southern part of the island are interesting, with beaches, forests, fields and some historic locations right outside your doorstep — but it also takes you a good 30–40 minutes to get downtown, unless you have your own wheels.

Hotel Bella Sky. - The leaning towers of the Bella Sky hotel are visible from much of Amager and can serve as a landmark to orient oneself upon

• AC Hotel Bella Sky Copenhagen Center Boulevard 5 55.63826, 12.57757 ☎ +45 32 47 30 00 - The Bella Sky towers soar over the Bella Centret conference venue, and so do room prices there whenever an event is held. Unlike most AC Hotels, it was not purpose-built as such, and thus features some really unusual and quirky design traits, like wildly placed trapezoid windows. The hotel's unusual architecture was driven by the desire to provide the best views, even if those are mostly of Orestad and Amager rather than Copenhagen itself.

Amager is generally as safe as the rest of Copenhagen. Try avoiding drunk people in metro & bus stations. It is a good idea to avoid local bars inside and around corners of tower block areas.
