Ski slope on top of the huge "Amager Bakke" incineration plant. You can ski, hike, climb, walk up the steps, etc. Or you can just take the elevater up, order a drink at the rooftop bar and enjoy the great view of copenhagen.
Amager Bakke, also known as Amager Slope or Copenhill, is a combined heat and power waste-to-energy plant and a 85 m (279 ft) tall recreational facility in Amager, Copenhagen, Denmark, located prominently within view of the city's downtown.

Amager Beach
Probably the largest beach in the near vicinity of Copenhagen, artificially constructed some years back. Includes a large sand island and an inner lagoon. There is usually a good range of activities going on, even outside the bathing season, such as windsurfing, diving, water skiing, sea kayaking and some hugely popular beach volleyball fields. If you're visiting during winter you have a chance to show your inner Viking with winter bath on the New Helgoland pier.
Island brygge or Bryggen
Enormously popular green area and city beach, with enclosed salt water pools, including some shallow ones for kids, and a 5-m "jumping" tower, shower, grill and toilet facilities, and it is manned with life guards. Excellent spot for hanging out with locals on sunny days, and it is quite a peculiar sensation having a swim smack in the centre of the city.
Copenhagen Concert Hall
Part of the public broadcasters new and problem ridden headquarters in Ørestad, this gem designed by French architect Jean Nouvel is the main reason behind the massive budget overruns of the project — with its final price tag approaching USD 300 million, it is among the most expensive concert halls ever built.
Mogens Dahl concert hall
The country's only privately owned concert hall, featuring some interesting architecture as it has been fitted into some old stables. The programme mainly features classical Chamber music, with artists from all over Europe.
Another of Copenhagen's old fortifications, which has been turned into an attractive park. Other than the outline, moat, walls and a few buildings remaining, there is not much to see here in terms of history. But there are some nice views over the sound and you can venture into the open part of the catacombs and see bullet holes from Nazi executions during WWII. A stroll here is easily combined with a visit to Amager Strandpark (see Do section), but otherwise probably not worth the effort.
Another sea fortress that guarded the approach to Copenhagen. It is owned by the Danish scouts.
