Explore Kastrup through several specific interests: Den Blå Planet is a major attraction for aquarium enthusiasts, Kastrupgårdsamlingen for modern graphic art, and Kastrup Strandpark offers swimming options as well as large lawns for a picnic. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Kastrup, it helps to decide in advance whether culture, swimming or a break outdoors should shape your stay.

An aquarium with clear directions from the Metro

Den Blå Planet, Denmark’s National Aquarium, opened in Kastrup in 2013. The aquarium is the largest in Northern Europe and holds seven million litres of water. Its size and volume make it a clear focus for a stay in which an aquarium visit is intended to play an important role. You can plan the visit as a dedicated activity rather than just fitting it casually into the day.

The distance for Metro directions is clearly specified: Den Blå Planet is 650 metres from Kastrup (Den Blå Planet) Metro station. The route from the Metro to the aquarium is signposted all the way. If you travel by Metro, you can use this station as your point of reference and follow the signs. Check current transport conditions before travelling.

Modern graphic art and a distinctive connection to a church

Kastrupgårdsamlingen – Museum of Modern Graphic Art – is a state-recognised museum specialising in modern graphic art. This offers a different cultural focus alongside the aquarium: here, a specific art form provides the thematic framework. Kastrup Church also has its own connection to art. Svend Wiig Hansen created his only church decoration for it. If you want to include culture in your stay, you can choose between modern graphic art and this specific connection to the church.

Swimming, picnics and fishing in the beach park

At Kastrup Strandpark, you can combine swimming with a break among the greenery. Large lawns are suitable for picnics. In the Øresund, you can swim from the beach, the bathing jetty or the three- or five-metre diving boards. These options differ in terms of access to the water and jumping height; when planning, consider whether you would rather enter the water from the beach, the jetty or a diving board. Swimming conditions can change, so it is worth checking current notices before you swim.

Recreational fishing is also possible in the beach park. This adds another activity to consider alongside swimming and picnicking. When fishing, observe the local rules in force.

Kastrup Søbad: free to use all year round

Another option is Kastrup Søbad, also known as Sneglen: it can be used free of charge all year round. White Architects designed the sea bath, which was built in 2004–2005. So, alongside the swimming options in the beach park, there is another named destination with its own architectural history. Swimming notices and flags can change, so check the latest information before your visit.
