Where to stay in Amager Vest
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Solvang Kirke and Hekla Park are the two names this district lists, which says plainly how little of Amager Vest was built with a visiting guest in mind: only its northern end reads as urban at all. Most beds sit elsewhere. Amagerbrogade forms the boundary with Amager Øst, and the Copenhagen centre keeps the hotel supply that the widest of the ten districts never gathered.

About Amager Vest
What are the main landmarks in Amager Vest?
Solvang Kirke and Hekla Park stand in the strip that reads as urban, and after those two the landmark list simply stops, which leaves the widest of the ten districts of Copenhagen Municipality with very little to point at. Amagerbrogade marks the eastern limit. The rest is open ground rather than street frontage.
What is the history of Amager Vest?
Amager Vest belongs to the set of ten official administrative districts that Copenhagen Municipality drew for itself, and it came out of that division as the largest of them by ground covered. The island is the older fact. Amager, the largest island in the Øresund, carries the district across its north-western part, with Amager Øst beginning at Amagerbrogade and only the northern end of the ground reading as urban.
Where is Amager Vest?
Amager Vest takes the north-western part of Amager, the largest island in the Øresund, with Amager Øst on the far side of Amagerbrogade.
