Where to stay in Amagerbro
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
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.
