Travel Guide

Come to Ishøj to experience the southwest of Copenhagen, rich in art and entertainment, with beautiful seaside nearby, just a short distance from the busy city centre.

The western part of Copenhagen offers international art, impressive architecture and the scenery of Køge Bay. Visit ARKEN, the truly exciting museum of modern art, take a swim in the sea or hop on an S train bound for the centre of Copenhagen.

ARKEN stands with a spectacular view over Køge Bay, and is a must-see on the way to Ishøj. Before going inside the building, take a walk around the area to study its characteristic and futuristic architecture. Inside, ARKEN features Danish, Nordic and international modern art, and your visit can be rounded off in the café with its stunning views over the bay.

If visiting Ishøj in the summer, a visit to Arken can be combined with a walk to the marina, one of the country’s biggest, or a swim off Ishøj Strand, part of the 5-mile-long beach stretching from Avedøre to Hundige, with clear, inviting water.

The scenery around the bay is attractive in any weather for runners, cyclists or walkers, featuring sand dunes, lakes and lagoons. An excellent footpath network is in place allowing you to walk or bike the full length of the beach park close to the water.

Visit Ishøj Bycenter to explore its wide range of shops. Right in the centre is Ishøj station, with fast and frequent links to the centre of Copenhagen for the feel of a big-city holiday while based in the quiet of Ishøj. Buy a ticket for the S train commuter network that runs around the clock for direct access to the attractions and sights of the city centre, including Tivoli, a walk out to Kastellet, and a glimpse of the Little Mermaid.

In other words, Ishøj offers a wonderful mix of big city, peaceful scenery and world-class art. A weekend stay in Ishøj means a chance to discover another part of Copenhagen with all the attractive sights within easy reach.
