The Neighborhood:
Sydhavn, or South Harbor, is a vibrant neighborhood in Copenhagen that blends its industrial heritage with modern urban living. Once an industrial district, it has transformed into a lively area known for its contemporary architecture, art spaces, and waterfront views. With old warehouses repurposed into apartments, cafes, and galleries, Sydhavn features many inner harbors and bathing spots, perfect for summer swims or joining locals in chilly winter-bathing dips and sauna.
Other well-known attractions are:
→ Slusen Café: Café in cozy surroundings by the sluice in Sydhavn. Here, you can enjoy delicious food and cold drinks by the water's edge.
→ Harbor Bus (Havnebus): The yellow harbor buses take you up and down the harbor on a regular bus ticket. And they’re running on electricity.
→ Amager Fælled: Amager Fælled is named for its historical use as a communal grazing area for local farmers. Once a military training ground and landfill until 1974, it is now a protected park offering wildlife, scenic walks, and picnic spots.
→ Badezone Byskoven: New bathing spot with a platform and pool towards the canal, it’s open and free and just a short bike ride away from Mekano.
→ Sydhavnstippen: Often just called "Tippen" in everyday speech—is a scenic area in Sydhavn, created from deposited construction waste and surplus soil. Since 1973, it has more or less been a tribute to biodiversity, largely left to its own devices. Across the many hectares of land, both flat and wild, you can find llamas and beautiful picnic spots and trekking trails.
→ Kalvebod Fælled: Expansive nature reserve along Copenhagen's waterfront, perfect for outdoor relaxation.
→ Kødbyen: The area called Kødbyen, the old slaughterhouse of Copenhagen, is nearby and features some of the best restaurants in Copenhagen.
