Where to stay in Amagerbro
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Amagerbro station and Lergravsparken station give the district two metro platforms of its own, which recommends a bed here more than any hotel row along Amagerbrogade does. The shopping street does the rest. Nathanaels Kirke, Kong Haakons Kirke and Sundby Kirke sit among the district's named addresses, with Markmandshuset, Danske Flyveres minde and Modstandsbevægelsens faldne completing a short list.
About Amagerbro
What are the main landmarks in Amagerbro?
Six names, half of them churches. Nathanaels Kirke, Kong Haakons Kirke and Sundby Kirke account for that half, while Danske Flyveres minde and Modstandsbevægelsens faldne are commemorative and Markmandshuset is neither church nor memorial. Amagerbrogade runs through the middle of it.
What is the history of Amagerbro?
