TRIP DESCRIPTION

Set across the Danish islands of Zealand and Amager, Copenhagen was originally a viking village. It is now the capital city of Denmark - where the Danes have a reputation as being the happiest people in the world. It is so easy to explore as you can go everywhere by bike.

The daily tours offer a wide variety of experiences. Bike along stunning coastlines with beautiful beaches, pass adorable marinas, visit major royal cities like Hillerod and Roskilde and other highlights like The Little Mermaid and Tivoli in Copenhagen. Denmark is a safe place to ride a bike, and there are several possibilities to extend the daily trips for those who want to. Sand, sea, culture, and history united with a living and modern capital - this trip gives you the opportunity to experience everything. Copenhagen is the bicycle capital of the world and cycling here is wonderful! But come and see for yourself!

Terrain

A gentle cycle tour through flat and low hilly landscapes. Most of the routes are on bike paths and small streets without much traffic. When entering and leaving cities you need to expect some more traffic. Two of the routes return to Copenhagen station where you may need to carry bikes up stairs in order to exit.
