Find your next rental home in Islands Brygge
Islands Brygge is located on the northwestern corner of Amager, with the harbour on one side and Amager Fælled on the other.

Types of rental homes in Islands Brygge
The first homes were built in the early 1900s, and today the neighbourhood includes both old apartment blocks and new developments on the former industrial sites by the harbour. One distinctive example is two silos originally built for soybeans, where homes have now been added to the exterior with floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies facing the water. A rental home in Islands Brygge can therefore be anything from a traditional apartment in an older building to a home in a converted industrial property.
Harbour park, harbour bath and traces of the industrial past
The neighbourhood is built on reclaimed land and was long characterised by factories and storage areas along the quay. Today, the industry has been replaced by housing, but traces of the past are still part of everyday life and give Islands Brygge its distinctive character. The harbour forms the neighbourhood's western boundary, and much of the activity by the water is centred around Havneparken.
Havneparken along the waterfront is the neighbourhood's main gathering place. Old railway tracks and a railway carriage from the industrial era have been preserved here, and the park is home to both a cultural centre and the harbour bath. It was Copenhagen's first harbour bath and has five pools, including two 50-metre lanes and a diving pool with platforms at heights of three and five metres. Up to 600 swimmers can use the facilities at the same time.
At the southern end of the park, Bryggebroen carries pedestrians and cyclists across the harbour to Vesterbro, while Langebro to the north connects the neighbourhood with central Copenhagen. To the east, the neighbourhood meets the large green area of Amager Fælled, while the allotment garden area Nokken lies to the south, and the metro station is located just east of Artillerivej.
