Something of a peculiarity, Kalvebod Fælled covers 2000 hectares (5000 acres) of protected wetlands, beaches, forest, and lakes in southwest Amager, rich in wild-life like birds and deer. Nowhere else in Europe will you find such a large area of wild nature this close to a major city. There are quite a few activities available, like bike rentals, horse riding and lots of stuff for the kids. In the autumn many Copenhageners come here to fly colorful kites.
Kalvebod Fælled, also known as Vestamager, is a scenic area that takes up roughly a quarter of the island of Amager near Copenhagen, Denmark.

Copenhagen Congress Center
Copenhagen's prime exhibition and convention center, with over 123,000 m² of exhibition space. Fairly often there is an exhibition and event of some interest to the general public — check the current schedule on their website..
If you are staying at a hotel or the camping grounds in Dragør, this small forest is a nice place for a stroll, particularly down Kærlighedsstien, or the path of love in English. A reference to a dancing hall once located down this path, it is long gone, but it is still a romantic place on a nice spring day. If you have kids, the open plains facing the water have grassing sheep the toddlers can chase around.
A historical museum in two old farm houses, detailing the Dutch history of immigration on the island, who were invited to the island by the king to dam and farm the island after the Dutch model. There is also exhibits on historical interiors and textiles.
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.
Set in a beautiful old mansion-like country home from the 18th century, this museum displays a large collection of graphics from mainly Danish artists, including a large collection of the somewhat internationally known Cobra artists. There are also a temporary exhibition space.
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.
