About Amager Øst
Where to stay in Amager Øst
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Sundkirken, Filips Kirke and Allehelgens Kirke are what the register hands Amager Øst, and a guest weighing a room reads that list as three churches rather than three reasons to book on this side of Amagerbrogade. It is a residential district. The rest of Copenhagen keeps the hotel weight, and the case for the district rests on the shopping street it borders.
About Amager Øst
What are the main landmarks in Amager Øst?
Allehelgens Kirke, Filips Kirke and Sundkirken are the whole of the list this district carries, a short return for a quarter covering the part of Copenhagen that lies east of Amagerbrogade on Amager. No museum is recorded here. The street itself does more work than any of them, carrying the shops along the district's western boundary.
What is the history of Amager Øst?
Until an administrative reform carried out between 2006 and 2008, the district went by the name Sundbyøster, and the change of label moved neither a street nor a church. Amagerbrogade stayed where it was. Allehelgens Kirke, Filips Kirke and Sundkirken carry the church names of the part of Copenhagen that lies east of that street on Amager.
Where is Amager Øst?
East of Amagerbrogade the island of Amager belongs to Amager Øst, one of the ten districts into which Copenhagen Municipality is divided.
