With many small wonders, Dragør offers an idyllic seaside and country holiday environment not far from the big city.

It's not only the people here that are charming, it's also the town of Dragør itself. A popular destination, Dragør is one of the Danish towns you will want to return to again and again. A visit to Dragør Museum will teach you more about the town's unique history.

On the island of Amager in Dragør's old town, you can enjoy a rural environment not far from the Danish capital. The charming 18th- and 19th-century houses along the cobbled streets and narrow passages of Dragør are almost all painted yellow with red roofs, and flanked by hollyhocks of every colour when they are in season. Only a short distance from Copenhagen you will find forest, beaches and beautiful nature.

Dragør Harbour is an extension of the old town with its charming old, well-maintained houses, imbuing the harbour with a special atmostphere. Once a busy port, today mostly leisure boats dock in Dragør harbour. The town's landmark, the Lod tower, and the kikkenborgene – small watchtowers atop some of the houses – were used in the old days to monitor incoming ships from the Øresund and make sure a crew was at the harbour when the ships came in. Today, they are merely curiosities.

Dragør does hospitality well, and you will be sure to find an enjoyable place to eat. There are a variety of events throughout the year, including festivals, markets and summer activities in the harbour. Town walks and guided tours are available in high season from May to August, where you can learn more about local history. Check the tourist office's events calendar when visiting Dragør.

If you have hired a car for your holiday or weekend in Dragør, you can easily get to Copenhagen (about 30 minutes away) and perhaps visit Tivoli or take a walk on Strøget. There are also good bus connections linking Dragør to Copenhagen and Copenhagen International Airport.

Remember to pay attention to the small details and special touches on the houses in Dragør – these are part of what make the town something completely unique.
