A free collection of 20 stories exploring Amager's transition from industrial wasteland to architectural showcase.

This self-guided tour explores Amager, Copenhagen’s most densely populated island, tracing its evolution from a heavy industrial zone and latrine dump—once nicknamed “Shit Island”—into a modern hub of world-class architecture and nature. The route covers key landmarks including Islands Brygge, the DR Koncerthuset, and the award-winning 8 House by BIG.

The experience is structured as a “Story Collection” with 20 narrated stories that unlock based on your GPS location. Each stop includes audio narration, text versions, and interactive quizzes to engage with the surroundings. Because it is a collection rather than a single fixed path, you have the flexibility to start at any of the story locations, though Langebro is the suggested starting point.

As a free offering, the tour provides an accessible way to discover a less-touristed side of Copenhagen. However, it requires a continuous internet connection to access the content, as offline downloads are not supported. Users should ensure they have a stable data plan while walking the route.
