Tarnby Travel Guide

Copenhagen

An airport with multiple runways and terminals, surrounded by a mix of urban and green areas.

Dive into the waves of the Øresund, explore the depths at The Blue Planet, say hello to the four-legged inhabitants of Saltholm, enjoy art or explore Copenhagen.

Tårnby is right in the middle of Amager, a town surrounded by pleasant countryside, beaches and the sprawling Naturpark Amager. It’s only a short distance from Tårnby to the bright lights of Denmark's capital, Copenhagen. If taking a holiday in Tårnby, you simply have attractions of every type within easy reach, but at a slower pace and totally different prices compared to the capital.

If you come to Tårnby, you can shop on Tårnby Torv or relax in the new Tårnby Bypark, and if you want more, visit Den Blå Planet aquarium in nearby Kastrup. This aquarium is one of the biggest in northern Europe and offers factual and fun entertainment for all ages. If you fancy riding the waves yourself, there are lots of opportunities near Tårnby, such as Amager Strandpark. The conch-shaped Søbadet Sneglen is a delight to the eye and a fantastic place to swim.

The suburb of Tårnby nestles between Kastrup and Vestamager, but used to be just a tiny village with a few farms. The town has developed into a traffic hub thanks to Copenhagen Airport and the Öresund Link, and the fast Metro links between here and Copenhagen make it easy and convenient to take a city break in Tårnby.

Close by is the idyllic St. Magleby, a Dutch colony in the 16th century, known as Hollænderbyen. The exciting history of the area is told at Museum Amager, with activities for the whole family. The children can watch the animals and take part in a range of activities whilst the adults admire the wonderful gardens.

If planning a trip to Tårnby, you also have a visit to the beauties of the Kastrupgårdsamlingen art museum to look forward to. If you've got the kids with you on a holiday or weekend break in Tårnby, a trip with the post boat to the island of Saltholm will be a big hit for would-be seafarers.

Tårnby is quite simply a very comfortable place to take a holiday. Verdant, relaxing surroundings and lots of exciting things to discover within reach.

"The rooms were tiny, overpriced and had no design what so ever, not even a picture on the wall... or a drawer for clothes, or a tea/coffee station, or water. The TV didn't face the bed so that was unusable... and it look like it was from the early 2000s. Air con had no temp control - just a fan. ..."
