The town of Høje Taastrup is a new development, centered on the train station.
 Behind the town hall lies the old  village of Høje Taastrup, with its typical country church, picturesque thatch-roofed buildings, and a village pond complete with duck houses.
 It is a reminder of the area's agricultural past.
 The farmland that used to lie in the vicinity of the old village has been pretty much developed as of 2005.

Located at the south end of the railroad station complex is another area landmark— the 26.3 meter tall sculpture "Thor's Tower" (Torstårnet), the tallest sculpture in the Nordic countries.
 It was made by Bjørn Nørgaard, and was inaugurated on 4 December 1986.
 There are several unique buildings in the same area, including the train station itself with its distinctive three arches.
 The three arches have become a symbol of the municipality, and have given rise to the moniker "The City of Arches" (Danish: Buernes By, which in a play on words sounds remarkably similar to the phrase Byernes By or "The City of Cities").

The city has a sizeable number of immigrants, mostly from Vietnam and Arab countries.

The town is home to City 2 shopping center, Denmark's second largest shopping center or mall.
