Ydre Østerbro

Ydre Østerbro (lit. English: Outer Østerbro) is an area in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is the part of the district of Østerbro located farthest from the City Centre. It lies on the northeast border of the municipality. It covers an area of 5.08 km², has a population of 35,937 and a population density of 7,081 per km².

Neighboring city districts are as follows:

to the north is Gentofte municipality, which is outside of the Copenhagen municipality area
to the west are Bispebjerg and Ydre Nørrebro
to the south is Indre Østerbro
to the east is Svanemølle Bay (Svanemøllebugten), an inlet of the Øresund, the strait which separates the island of Zealand from Sweden

Colloquially, the Ydre Østerbro ("Outer Østerbro"), along with its neighboring city district to the south— Indre Østerbro ("Inner Østerbro")— are often collectively referred to as "Østerbro". But technically they are two separate legal units within Copenhagen municipality.
