Where to stay in Islands Brygge

The Amager waterfront directly across from the centre: a grass embankment along the harbour with the swimming baths cut into it, apartment blocks behind, and Langebro putting Indre By ten minutes away on foot. It is the newest of these areas as a place to stay and the most seasonal — in July it is where the city goes, and in January it is a windy promenade with the metro underneath it.

Our picks in Islands Brygge

Best for an early flight

Hotel Copenhagen

Our pick for Islands Brygge because it is on Egilsgade, a side street a block behind the harbour front, with the metro to Kastrup about ten minutes away and Langebro into the centre on foot.
