Cargo e-bike rentals, see what our guests are saying, claudine o, feb 2020 | tripadvisor.

Our tour already happened in June 2018, but we still speak about all the interesting things and facts we learned. Andreas took a lot of time to answer all the questions and get into a discussion about all the different topics he mentioned. Driving with the bikes was a bit scary but we got used to it very quickly. Sitting and driving through this lovely city was wonderful. The whole tour was a blast! Don’t hesitate to book a tour with Andreas!

Melykee, Feb 2020 | TripAdvisor

I thought it would be hard but the bike was so comfy and the electric engine was so good that I barely felt the effort…so I kept peddling for the rest of the tour lol. On top of all that, Andreas is one of the kindest, patient and personable guys I ever met. We had such a great chat throughout and it felt more than a service being delivered. It was a human encounter and a great cultural lesson.

Ramirez, Jan 2020 | TripAdvisor

Andreas was a great communicator throughout our planning process and was very flexible with our plans revolving around the winter weather. Though it was cold out we were comfortable bundled up and with the blankets, mittens, and tea that he provided. We highly recommend this beautiful tour of Copenhagen. This was a highlight of our European winter trip.

Steve, Feb 2020 | Airbnb

The knowledge and insight were great and we learned far more about Copenhagen, past and present than we could have any other way. The bikes are brilliant, well worth it if you are considering doing the trip!

Louise, Jan 2020 | Airbnb

This was the best Tour ever! Magical experience for 3 hours feeling like a local. Saw many secret places and loved the wind blowing in my ears as we moved along the bike lanes. Andreas was so interesting and sensitive to everyone’s needs. The electric bike was easy to handle and the rugs and waterproofs kept us warm and dry. We left in a real high, keen to do it all again!! Brilliant stuff!!

YOUR GUIDES IN COPENHAGEN

Andreas , moved to Copenhagen to explore the secret of happiness in Scandinavia and discovered a world of insight that he realized he could share with others. Combined with his love for cargo bikes, Loop Tours was formed – the world’s first cargo e-bike experience!  Today, the Copenhagen team consists of a professional tv director, a pianist and a longstanding bar keeper who all share a passion for the city’s cycling culture and laidback way of life. <— check the video about Loop Tours.

Copenhagen Bike Tours

Hvad gør København til en fantastisk turistdestination

København er hovedstaden i Danmark, og navnet har en dansk oprindelse, der betyder en købmandshavn. Denne store turistdestination er den lykkeligste by i verden. Det er kendt for at have de mest venlige mennesker og fantastisk kultur. Du vil elske læskende retter i København. Byen har også flere kirker og museer, som du kan besøge. Det har et havklima, men hvis du vil nyde sommeren i København, så besøg mellem juni og juli, når solen skinner.

Da vejret i denne by er uforudsigeligt, er det tilrådeligt at bære varmt og let tøj for at undgå gener. København er dog også et godt sted at besøge om vinteren, når det har smukke julemarkeder med souvenirs og gaver. København har et pålideligt offentligt transportsystem, du kan bruge til at flytte til forskellige steder. Busser, metroer, s-tog og cykler er tilgængelige når som helst. Alle disse er sikre og overkommelige transportformer for både lokale og turister. Men du skal vælge de rigtige transportformer afhængigt af vejret.

Hvor kan man besøge København på elcykel

Hvis du er i København, så kig efter vores cykelture for kvalitetscykler for at hjælpe dig med at flytte til forskellige turistattraktionssteder rundt omkring. Du kan f.eks. besøge følgende steder, når du er i denne by:

• Citadellet – Dette er et af de historiske steder, du kan besøge, mens du er i København. Det er en af ​​de mest vedligeholdte fæstninger i Nordeuropa og blev grundlagt i 1626 af den danske kong Christian 4. Den har en unik femkantform med bastioner på hjørnerne, som er god til at tage flotte billeder. Det huser også en kirkevindmølle, nogle af de smukkeste steder at slappe af i København. Bygningerne i dette område bruges i dag som militærkaserner og kontorer. Det er dog åbent for offentligheden, der ønsker at jogge eller løbe. Så du kan træne for at holde dig i form efter at have brugt nogle dage på at cykle rundt i denne by.
• Gefion-springvandet – Mens du er i København, kan du også bruge lidt tid i Gefion-springvandet, det største springvand på Østerbro. Det er i Langelinie Park. Dette store monument menes at være en gudinde for at ønske godt. Denne fontæne har en storstilet gruppe okser, der trækker en plov og er drevet af den nordiske gudinde. Ifølge historien pløjede gudinden øen Sjælland ud af Sverige ved hjælp af fire okser. Med bistand fra hendes fire magtfulde oksesønner lykkedes det dem at komme dybt ned i jorden, hæve landet og trække det i havet, hvilket resulterede i øen Sjælland.
• Den Lille Havfrue – En anden enestående turistattraktion i København er denne lille havfrue-statue. Det blev grundlagt i 1938 af den danske brygger Carl Jacobsen. Men bronze- og granitskulpturerne er inspireret af Christian Andersen ud fra et eventyrtema. Den blev afsløret/skabt af Edvard Eriksen i 1913. Ifølge Andersens eventyr kom en havfrue op af havet, fordi hun var blevet forelsket i en prins. Da prinsen ikke elskede hende, måtte hun tilbage til havet. Du kan bruge en bådtur til at se havfruen fra et nærmere syn. Men da den ligger på en klippe, er det bedre at se den, mens du er på en e-cykel på landet, som tilbyder et fantastisk udsigtspunkt.

Hvorfor udforske København på e-cykel?

København er verdens førende cykelby, som fik den til at vinde titlen som den europæiske grønne hovedstad i 2014. Vejnettet i denne by tilskynder til brug af cykler, og det er derfor, den har færre biler end cykler. De innovative broer og motorveje gør det til et sikkert sted at cykle på en el-cykel til enhver destination i København. Ruterne og cykelstierne byder på naturskønne udsigter, som du vil nyde at se, mens du er på farten. Du kan tage de kortere eller længere ruter, der fører ud af byen afhængigt af dine planer for dagen og nyde det. Nogle populære ruter til at overveje at cykle er cirkelbroen-Cirkelbroen, Amager Strand strandpark eller havnecirkelruten. Du skal dog overholde reglerne som at cykle på højre vognbane og bruge signaler for at forhindre ulykker.

At tage rundt i København på cykel er også et godt valg, da det giver dig mulighed for at interagere med forskellige mennesker, da det er det almindelige transportmiddel. Du vil komme til at mærke venligheden og hvor glade folk i denne region er. At bevæge sig rundt med en elcykel i København gør dig også i stand til at forstå færdselsreglerne og kulturen. Du slipper for bøder og unødvendige konfrontationer med myndighederne. Vælg en københavnsk elcykel, hvis du vil opdage byens historiske steder og kultur. Du vil oprette forbindelse til forskellige destinationer via en cykel, hvilket sparer dig nogle penge, som du ville have brugt til at leje en taxa.

Yderligere fordele ved at bruge en elcykel

I øjeblikket arbejder folk på at reducere deres CO2-fodaftryk globalt. Så hvis du er på dette kursus, så overvej at bruge en e-cykel til dine København-ture. Denne cykel vil gøre dig i stand til at nå forskellige hjørner uden at anstrenge dig. Det vil også give dig mulighed for at tilbagelægge længere afstande uden at støde på udfordringer. Du kommer heller ikke til at sidde fast i trafikken, når du bruger en elcykel i København , hvilket betyder, at du sparer tid. Den mest fremragende grund til at vælge denne cykel er, at den er sikrere og hurtigere. Dette vil lade dig nå din destination hurtigere, hvilket er et plus for en turist, der ønsker at besøge flere attraktioner på en dag. Den elektriske cykel vil også holde dig i form, da cykling hjælper med at forbrænde kalorier og forbedre muskeludholdenheden. Så hvis du ønsker at leje en cykel i København, så tjek vores cykelture ud og nyd at tage til forskellige steder i byen med lethed.

10 of the best bike tours in Copenhagen

What’s the best way to go sightseeing in Copenhagen? By bike, of course. 

The city is regularly ranked number one in the index of best cities in the world for cycling, and its network of dedicated cycle paths are a joy to use.

So, why not do as the Danes do and explore the city on two wheels?

Why is Copenhagen so good for bike tours?

Over the last decade or so Copenhagen has invested more than $200 million in its cycling infrastructure, and it now boasts 239 miles of bike lanes. 

But it’s not just the excellent network of cycle paths that makes it such a bike-friendly city.

Bikes are considered a natural way to get around – nine of ten Copenhagen residents own a bike – and almost half of all commutes for work or education are by bike.

And of course the city is fairly flat, with no hard hills to climb. So if you’re wondering where to bike in Copenhagen, the answer is pretty anywhere!

What you can see on a bike tour of Copenhagen

If you opt for one of the classic guided bike tours in Copenhagen , you’ll see all the main sights in the centre of the city, including the canals and lakes, the Little Mermaid, Nyhavn and the Amalienborg Royal Palace.

If you already know the main sights, you may prefer one of the themed tours, that visit lesser known parts of the city or take you to places of specific interest.

When the tours run

Some bike tours in Copenhagen run year-round, weather permitting, but you’ll get more choice in the peak seasons of spring and summer. 

Of course, if you’re just renting a bike and doing doing your own self-guided bike tour you can go at any time of year you like. And many of the private bike tours of Copenhagen run year-round too.

Is the Copenhagen Card worth buying?

Read this guide to see how much you could save during your trip!

Who can join a Copenhagen bike tour?

As long as you can cycle, you can go on a guided bike tour in Copenhagen.  If you find a conventional bike difficult to ride, you can opt for an e-bike. 

If you’re looking for family bike tours in Copenhagen, most are happy to take children provided they are confident and competent on two wheels.

And if your kids are too young to cycle themselves, you can always take a cargo bike tour and put them in the bucket seat at the front.

The best bike tours in Copenhagen

So, if you fancy exploring the city by bike, here are some of our favourite bike tours in Copenhagen.

1. The classic best of Copenhagen tour

This is  the classic three-hour Copenhagen bike  tour that takes you round all the main sights, including Nyhavn, Rosenborg Castle, the Amalienborg Palace, the Black Diamond library and, of course, the  Little Mermaid . 

You’ll also get to learn all about the history and culture of Copenhagen from a knowledgeable guide.

2. A speedy highlights tour of Copenhagen

If you’re short of time, why not try this 90-minute tour that whizzes you round the highlights of Copenhagen.

Your experienced guide will give you an insight into the city’s history and show you to the main points of interest.

3. Fun foodie trip

Foodies will love this three-hour foodie trip by bike to six different venues where you can sample the best of Danish cuisine.

The trip takes in a local food market, a smørrebrød restaurant and an award-winning Danish hot dog stand.

Check out these guides for more on Danish smørrebrød and where to get cheap food in Copenhagen .

4. Book a private bike tour

If you already know the city and have seen the main sights, you may want to   book a private tour  so that you can choose where to go or ask the guide to take you off-the-beaten-track to the lesser-known parts of the city. 

And if you’re travelling with family or a group of friends, it may not work out much more than going on a group tour.

5. Take a cargo bike tour

When in Copenhagen, you just have to have a go on a cargo bike , also known as Christiania bikes, after the suburb of Copenhagen where they were invented. (For more on the freetown of Christiania , read our guide.) 

These distinctive bikes with a big bucket in front are great fun to cycle, or you can sit in the cosy front seat and let the driver do the peddling.

And because these cargo bikes are electric it’s not that hard work, so just about anyone can have a go at cycling.

Most people swap around and have a turn in the bucket seat and a turn cycling, or you can stay in the saddle and put your dogs or children in the front seat!

6. Hang out in hip Nørrebro 

Seen the main sights already? Then why not  explore the lesser-known areas of Copenhagen by bike .

Hang out with hipsters in the trendy district of Nørrebro, a former working-class area that has been gentrified and is now a lively, vibrant, multicultural suburb. 

You’ll check out some striking street art, artisan coffee shops, ethnic cafés, craft beer houses, design shops and artists studios, plus the grave of Copenhagen’s most famous son Hans Christian Andersen.

7. Cycle with Bike Mike 

Considered by many to be the best Copenhagen bike tour, no rundown of cycle trips in Copenhagen would be complete without the iconic Bike Mike tours . 

A longstanding institution, Bike Mike has been cycling round the streets of Copenhagen for almost fifty years and has become legendary amongst cycle guides for his non-conventional and authentic tours.

8. Go easy with an e-bike tour

If you fancy a bike tour, but don’t want the effort of cycling yourself, this e-bike tour takes all the hard work out of it.

All the iconic sights are included and you’ll also spend some time in Christiania which you can explore on foot.

Bikes and head-sets (so that you can hear the guide) are included and because e-bikes go faster then push bikes you’ll get to see more of the city in less time. 

9. Hunt the Forgotten Giants by e-bike

This open-air treasure hunt by e-bike takes you out of the city to search for four Forgotten Giants. 

Dotted around the countryside of greater Copenhagen, these huge sculptures by sustainable artist Thomas Dambo are made out of recycled materials and rubbish.

Not only will your guide take you to see these wonderful works of art, but you’ll explore some of the lesser-known countryside around the city and in Zealand too.

10. Rent your own e-bike

For those who know where they want to go and don’t need a guide, renting an e-bike is the fastest and most fun way to get around. 

Bikes come with baskets (so you can go shopping) and helmets, though they’re not compulsory in Denmark and you’ll see plenty of Danes cycling without them.

You can rent a bike from two hours up to five days, and they have a range of 80km so you can explore out of the city centre too.

Copenhagen by bike – touring denmark’s capital on two wheels.

This article may contain compensated links. See our full disclosure here

Nothing says Copenhagen quite like the breezy way its citizens glide through her streets on their bikes. The city embodies bike culture and is frequently named the best city for cycling in the world.

So why not join in the fun and tour Copenhagen on two wheels. You can ride the city, see the sights and experience Danish culture all at the same time. Fantastisk! “That’s Danish for fantastic” – as my Copenhagener friend Erin would say. All you need to do is rent a bike.

Bike culture in Copenhagen

Denmark always appears at the top of the world’s happiest countries lists as well as among the leaders in cycling culture . This is probably not a coincidence if you ask me. I find driving stress pretty intolerable.

The people of Copenhagen love to cycle with over 50% of the population commuting to work, school or university by bike. Everyone does it, even the Crown Princess!

In Copenhagen, there are over 450 kilometres of bike paths, many of which are slightly raised and clearly marked. This ensures a feeling of safety as you pedal the city’s roads.

Last but not least, the terrain is flat making the conditions ideal for a leisurely cycle for all types of riders including families.

Highlights of Copenhagen: A self-guided bike tour

I’ve created a little tour to show you the highlights of Copenhagen. At 10.5km and on flat terrain I rate this tour as easy as it could also be done on foot. We hired bikes and rode around Copenhagen as a family, and it was such an enjoyable ride.

Here is a map of my suggested tour of Copenhagen stopping at most of the highlights. Clicking on the map will take you straight to Google Maps where you can add to your smartphone or print if you are old school – including all the streets and turns. The details of the stops are below.

You could start at any point along the map as it is a circuit. I think beginning at Nørreport station is a good idea as you can easily pick up bikes there and have a coffee and breakfast at Torvehallerne market before heading on your way.

We liked the porridge with extras at Grød  which is open from 7.30am on weekdays and 9.00am on weekends.

From Nørrebro station, head northeast along Øster Voldgade past the Botanic Gardens and Rosenborg Castle and follow the route until you reach Langelinie, home to Copenhagen’s most famous citizen – The Little Mermaid.

The Little Mermaid

The statue of the Little Mermaid was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale of the same name written in 1837. She is a tiny little thing who looks shyly at the water as hundreds of tourists try to snap a selfie. Many people are disappointed with how small the statue is but she is an iconic symbol of the city and one you would regret missing.

Nearby: Kastellet – a 17th-century star-shaped fortress with lovely grounds and a windmill

It’s a very short ride past Kastellet and its moat to your next stop.

Gefionspringvandet and St Albans Church

You can’t miss the magnificent Gefionspringvandet fountain featuring the Norse goddess Gefjon designed by Danish artist Anders Bundgaard. The fountain sits next to St Albans Church, also known as the English Church as it was built to serve the English population of the city.

Nearby: peaceful Churchill Park renamed in 1965 to commemorate Winston Churchill and British assistance in the liberation of Denmark during World War II.

Back on your bike again for another short ride down Amaliegade to Amalienborg Palace

Amalienborg Palace

Home of Queen Margrethe II, Amalienborg Slot or Palace was built around a central square where you can see magnificent views of the harbour and nearby Frederiks Kirke with its distinctive domed roof.

I love that the palace, just by virtue of its design, is so accessible to the people of Copenhagen. You can tour the palace and if you time your tour right, you can see the daily changing of the guard that happens at 12:00 noon in the square. You’ll need to be there a little earlier to get a good spot for viewing.

Nearby: Amalienhaven park and fountain where you can get close to the water for views across to the modern Opera House or relax in the peaceful gardens

Next ride towards Frederiks Kirke and around it to reach Store Kongensgade towards Kongens Nytorv and Nyhavn.

Built in the 17th century Copenhagen’s colourful harbour is simply a great place to wander, relax and watch the people and boats leave and enter the harbour.

If you wanted to take a break from riding, you could join a boat tour of Copenhagen from here. Tours leave every 15 minutes in summer, and you get another perspective of the city from the water. It’s touristy but fun and if you’re lucky you could see one of the bridges being raised to let the tall ships through.

Nearby: Take a walk to the harbourfront where you will see the impressive modern building that houses the Royal Danish Theatre

Hungry yet? Head across the newly opened Inderhavnsbroen and visit Papiroen or Paper Island for lunch

Paper Island

Paper Island is where you find Copenhagen Street Food.  This hugely popular venue houses a huge number of street food vendors in a converted warehouse. On my second visit to Copenhagen, I went back there just to taste Duck It’s pulled duck burger  I’ve been thinking about since my first visit. The food stalls open from 12.00 noon each day and you will not leave hungry.

Now head off Paper Island and onto Prinsessegade where you will find your next stop

Freetown Christiania

Freetown Christiania is an alternative car free and green community in the heart of Copenhagen. The neighbourhood of around 850 residents is found in the grounds of a former military barracks and has been self-governing since its foundation since its foundation by hippies in 1971.

A visit to Christiana is an interesting insight into a unique society. You can wander the streets and visit cosy cafes and craft shops. We took a walk around the beautiful lake and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere.

The area is notorious for its “Green Light District” and Pusher Street where drugs are freely bought and sold despite being illegal in Denmark. You are advised not to take photos in this area and should take that advice seriously. Read more about Freetown Christiania .

Nearby: Baroque Vor Frelsers Kirke with its famous helix spire that can be seen throughout Copenhagen

Time to head north-west down Torvegade and across the canal to Slotsholmen

Christiansborg Palace and Slotsholmen

As the seat of Danish government, Christiansborg is a complete contrast to Freetown Christiania. Home to the Folketinget or Danish Parliament, it is a former royal palace  and as grand as that description implies.

You can visit the state rooms and royal kitchens as well as the ruins of the original medieval castle beneath its foundations or take in views of the city from the tower

Christiansborg is on the small island of Slotsholmen where there are several other museums and attractions such as the Danish Stock Exchange. Visiting hours are from 10:00am.

Tip – you can park your bike in the Rigsdag Courtyard

Now ride into Indre By, Copenhagen’s true centre, and down Nikolaj Plads and Kristen Bernikows Gade to your next stop

Rundetaarn – the Round Tower

If you’re interested in astronomy, you won’t want to miss the Rundetaarn, the oldest working observatory in Europe. There are wonderful views of the city from the viewing platform accessed by a spiral staircase to the top of the tower. Rundetaarn is open from 10:00am – more information .

Head down Landemærket for the last stop on your bike tour – the beautiful King’s Gardens and Rosenborg Slot. You will need to park your bike at the entrance and walk through the gardens.

Rosenborg Castle

One my favourite castles in the world, Rosenborg Castle has fairy-tale qualities. Originally a royal summer house, the castle lies in the Renaissance style King’s Gardens and is surrounded by a small moat.

Rosenborg Slot was built in the Dutch Renaissance style by King Christian IV and has several turrets and an impressive hall. You can visit the castle and view a collection of the Danish Crown Jewels as well as many of the state rooms.

More information about visiting Rosenborg Slot

And that’s the end of your tour! Head back to Nørreport station by riding along Gothersgarde and turning left at Nørre Voldgade

Explore Copenhagen’s neighbourhoods by bike

Now you’ve explored the highlights why not venture beyond the city centre and discover Copenhagen’s laid back neighbourhoods.

Take a ride out to Nørrebro through Assistens cemetery and browse the boutiques and cafes along Jægersborggade. You can get a great coffee at the Coffee Collective, try new Nordic cuisine at Manfreds and indulge in some special ice cream at Istid. Assistens Cemetry is worth a stop to visit the grave of Hans Christian Anderson too.

If you’re travelling with kids, I recommend a trip to Østerbro where you can explore Fælledparken. This huge park has playgrounds and activities for children of all ages. Our kids loved learning about the rules of the road in a traffic school playground and jumping on trampolines and the huge swings close by.

I was most impressed with the coffee tuk tuk keeping the parents of Copenhagen caffeinated as they watched their kids play.

Copenhagen bike rental

We rented bikes with  Donkey Republic who have around 700 bicycles in convenient locations around the city. All you need to do is download their app and locate one of their bicycles close by. This is easy, even among a throng of Danish bikes, as they all sport vibrant orange stickers.

You then book your bike for however long you need it and use the app to unlock it. Once you’ve adjusted your seat and had a little test ride you are ready to go!

Tip: Look for one of the newer bikes with a holder for your phone, so you can navigate your route safely and with ease

No doubt you will want to stop and get off your bike and take a look around. With your Donkey bike, you just use the app to lock it up safely and unlock it again when required.

When it is time to return your bike, you simply take it back to where you found it. The bike is then registered as returned.

You can rent a bike in Copenhagen with Donkey Republic starting from DKK 100 per day – around £10. There is a small optional charge if you want to insure the bike against theft.

Family bike hire

We travelled to Copenhagen as a family and had some special requirements for bike hire. At the time of writing our kids were not yet 4 years old. I really wanted to try out the famous 3 wheeled  Christiana cargo bikes .

Donkey Republic were able to help with this by engaging one of their local partners. Do give them a call if you want to hire a family bike in Copenhagen and I am sure they’ll do their best to assist.

Road rules and tips for riding in Copenhagen

Familiarise yourself with road rules and etiquette before embarking your tour or hiring a bike in Copenhagen.

Here are the main points:

✪ Danes ride and drive on the right-hand side of the road. Keep to the right at all times unless overtaking

✪ Helmets are not required to be worn by law

✪ Bike lanes must be used when present. You may not ride on footpaths

✪ You must use hand signals to indicate if you are turning or stopping

✪ When turning left, cross to the opposing right corner and wait for the traffic light to change before proceeding

✪ Headlights must be used at and after dusk

✪ Helmets are not required to be worn by law but you can hire helmets , and it’s a good idea

I found this sheet of bike riding rules helpful and this site of Danish road signs

You can take your bike on public transport in Copenhagen with some common sense restrictions such as not bringing bikes on trains during peak hour. Family cargo bikes are not allowed on public transport.

Guided bike tours of Copenhagen

Our friend Erin who lives in and writes about Copenhagen served as our guide however if you are new to the city, are a bit nervous about riding and don’t have local connections; I recommend joining a bike tour.

I’m such a fan of local tours . Taking a bike tour of  Copenhagen will help you get up to speed quickly on the road rules and culture. You’ll also learn about the city’s history and culture and discover what makes Copenhagen unique.

1. Copenhagen: 3 Hour Bike Tour with Guide

⭐ RATING: 4.6 out of 5 Stars (550+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 3 hours | 🚲 BOOK NOW

My favourite Copenhagen bike tour is the Copenhagen: 3 Hour Bike Tour with Guide . It’s the best bike tour of the city, and it’s extremely highly rated with an average score of 4.6/5 stars with over 550 reviews.

When I book a tour, I always like to go with the “tried and tested” option, and this is the tour with the highest amount of positive reviews. And I can personally vouch for it too, top quality.

During the 3 Hour Bike Tour with Guide , you will get to see most of Copenhagen’s main attractions. Taking a bike tour allows you to get around quicker than if you are walking, meaning you can see more things in a shorter amount of time .

The tour visits the Little Mermaid, Christiansborg Palace, Nyhavn Harbour, Freetown Christiania and many other sights. My favourite is Nyhavn, seeing it in real life makes the pictures seem lame. It’s stunning.

By booking this guided tour, you are also guaranteed to learn a lot about Copenhagen. The company prides itself on “ unique storytelling ” along with learning what “Copenhagen is all about”. As the review above says, the guides are indeed very passionate. And as someone who studied history in school until I was 18, I really enjoyed learning about the historical aspect of things.

You also get to try some delicious Danish cuisine, as there is a break at a local food market. Cycling can get pretty tiring! Although the tour does go at a leisurely pace, so don’t feel like you need to be an experienced cyclist to take part. But who says no to a food break? I know I definitely didn’t, especially since the food in Copenhagen is so tasty.

If you want to take a cycling tour of Copenhagen, 3 Hour Bike Tour with Guide is the best tour for you . Book it now!

2. Copenhagen 3-hour City Highlights Bike Tour

⭐ RATING: 4.5 out of 5 Stars (340+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 3 hours | 🚲 BOOK NOW

Another great option for taking a bike tour of Copenhagen is the Copenhagen 3-hour City Highlights Bike Tour , which is also very highly rated, with an average rating of 4.5/5.

Copenhagen 3-hour City Highlights Bike Tour has also been awarded Viator’s “ Badge of Excellence “ meaning it has met their quality standards check and is one of the best tours they offer worldwide.

As the review says, there is a great mix of people and this tour is suitable for anyone and everyone. What I really liked about this tour is that the guides felt like they were part of the group- they enjoy cycling through Copenhagen as much as we do and they’re so happy to answer any questions along the way too.

The review also mentions about not feeling rushed. This is an important factor when taking a cycling tour. You want to have time to stop at each attraction and take some time to look around, rather than stopping for 2 minutes and going again.

I always hate tours which are rushed, and I’m so glad this isn’t the case here, but I guess it fits in right with the way of life in Copenhagen which is super chilled and laid back.

This tour visits 10 attractions throughout Copenhagen. Including Rosenborg Castle (pictured above), The Little Mermaid, Amalianborg and more. And who could forget the beautiful houses of Nyhavn?! My personal favourite as I said.

The guides of this tour are also known for great storytelling and being very knowledgeable about Copenhagen. As always with a tour, if you have any questions: simply ask! Your guide will be more than happy to answer them.

Taking a biking tour allows you to maximise your time in Copenhagen and see the attractions in a short period of time, and there are few tours better than this one!

It’s also very slightly cheaper than the first option, so if you are visiting Copenhagen on a lower budget , this could be a great option.

Looking to explore all of Copenhagen’s attractions on bike? Copenhagen 3-hour City Highlights Bike Tour ticks off all of them!

3. Guided Bike Tour in Wonderful Copenhagen

⭐ RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars (200+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 2 hours | 🚲 BOOK NOW

Guided Bike Tour in Wonderful Copenhagen is, as the name says, a wonderful tour. It has over 200 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐reviews! Once again, tried and trusted. It’s passed the test of over 200 people.

Guided Bike Tour in Wonderful Copenhagen is a very traditional and classic bike tour of Copenhagen.

The above review says “ biking is the best way to see Copenhagen ” and this could not be any more true. There’s a reason it’s how the locals get around town. And after taking tours myself, I can see why. It’s so easy to get about, and it’s really efficient too. Plus, cycling through the picturesque quaint streets is amazing.

Unless you know Copenhagen like the back of your hand, you’ll need a guide to take you around the city and guide you to the main tourist attractions. The tour company themself say “No need to study a map—a guide leads the way on this bike tour”.

This is one of the biggest tours on this list with over 17 stops! You get to see and stop at all the main attractions.

Guided Bike Tour in Wonderful Copenhagen goes a little further outside of the centre too with a view of Copenhagen Opera house, one of the city’s most beautiful and unique buildings. As much as it’s cool seeing it while cycling, I think the best view of the opera house comes from the water during a canal tour.

The size of the tour group is also limited, so you will have a small group , leading to a more personal experience. A group of 10 is much better than a group of 50, right? I always like smaller groups as the guide can actually talk to you rather than just shout information at a large group.

Throughout the 2 hours you spend on this tour, you will create memories to last a lifetime. What are you waiting for?!

4. Copenhagen Highlights: 3-Hour Bike Tour

⭐ RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars (240+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 3 hours | 🚲 BOOK NOW

A fourth option for Copenhagen bike tours is the Copenhagen Highlights: 3-Hour Bike Tour with over 200 reviews averaging at 5/5. We’re really spoilt for choice with great bike tours!

As cycling is the way the locals travel, you get to experience Copenhagen as a local by hopping on a bike. When visiting places, I always like to live like a local in some aspects. Whether it’s eating street food in Bangkok or having wine for breakfast in Italy, I like to embrace the local culture.

And Copenhagen Highlights: 3-Hour Bike Tour focuses on this factor and prides itself on the insight into local life and culture you receive from your guide.

Another big selling point of this tour, in particular, is you get to visit some hidden gems of Copenhagen, on top of seeing the most popular tourist spots.

For example, as well as seeing Nyhavn, you also pass by the Royal Danish Theater, as well as seeing Rosenborg Castle, you also get to stop at the Royal Library. I always like going a bit beyond the beaten track , and Copenhagen’s hidden gems are definitely gems!

It’s a great way to see Copenhagen as a tourist, and as a local. I personally always seek to get a bit of both. I want to see the touristy things, but I also want to go beyond the touristy front.

And Copenhagen Highlights: 3-Hour Bike Tour is the perfect way to do so. What better way than by having a local guide you?

5. Copenhagen: 3-Hour Culinary Bike Tour

⭐ RATING: 4.6 out of 5 Stars (120+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 3 hours | 🚲 BOOK NOW

What better way to see Copenhagen than to combine a bike tour with a food tour? Copenhagen: 3-Hour Culinary Bike Tour is the PERFECT option for foodies who also want to do a bike tour.

A bike tour of Copenhagen is an amazing experience. A food tour of Copenhagen is an amazing experience. Combining the two leads to one of the best tours you will ever take anywhere in the world! And that’s exactly what Copenhagen: 3-Hour Culinary Bike Tour offers.

Danish food is absolutely delicious. I couldn’t eat enough if I tried during my time in Copenhagen! This tour takes you to 6 incredible local eateries across Copenhagen, providing you with plenty of opportunities to try the mouth-wateringly tasty Danish cuisine.

I’m quite a fussy eater, to be honest, and I still loved the cuisine in Denmark. So taking a food tour is one of the best ways to experience everything at once.

There is a chance to try Danish fish meatballs, Danish chocolate dessert (Flødebolle), hot dogs and more. Oh, and of course, the famous Danish Smørrebrød . I’m a fan of Flødebolle personally- nothing beats a sweet treat!

Combine the yummy food with your guide’s expertise and you are guaranteed to have a great trip. Not to forget the cycling!

Fan of cycling? Fan of eating? You can’t go wrong with booking the Copenhagen: 3-Hour Culinary Bike Tour .

6. Cargo Bikes and the Science of Happiness

⭐ RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars (40+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 3 hours | 🚲 BOOK NOW

One of the most unique Copenhagen bike tours is the Cargo Bikes and the Science of Happiness . Instead of cycling around Copenhagen on a normal traditional bike, you get to explore the city on a cargo bike.

I love tours that offer something a bit different and aren’t just the same as every other tour, and Cargo Bikes and the Science of Happiness offers this.

Another unique selling point for this tour is that the tour focuses on the “Science of Happiness” which is very applicable to Copenhagen. Did you know that Copenhagen is one of the happiest cities in the world ?

Taking a tour of Copenhagen on these unique bikes, combined with the unique focus on happiness, you’re destined to have a positive experience.

When I visited Copenhagen for the first time, I really felt the atmosphere straight away. Everyone is so relaxed anything phases them, it’s a really safe city too and I think the perfect example is that the locals don’t lock their bikes, they just leave them in the street and no one steals them.

The tour is also capped at 10, so you are guaranteed to have a personal experience. The tour is also offered in 5 languages (English, French, Spanish, German and Russian)!

If you want a unique bike tour, this is the option for you!

7. Copenhagen: Private Bike Tour

⭐ RATING: 4.7 out of 5 Stars (80+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 3 hours | 🚲 BOOK NOW

Taking a Copenhagen bike tour is great. But taking a private bike tour is super duper really great ! Copenhagen: Private Bike Tour offers this, and you can’t go wrong with a private tour.

Having a private tour is the most personal experience you can have for any tour anywhere in the world. There are so many benefits that come with getting a private tour, it’s definitely worth it. And Copenhagen: Private Bike Tour is the best option.

You can ask your guide any questions you have without having a big group asking even more questions. You can also dictate how long you spend at each attraction. You can ask your guide to take photos of you at any moment. The list goes on!

I’m always hesitant to take private tours because of the price, but they always pay off.

Although it is a little more expensive, it is more than worth it. You get what you pay for. The company say you are able to “determine your own route and ride at your own pace” which is something you do not get with a group tour.

For the most premium bike tour of Copenhagen, book the Copenhagen: Private Bike Tour .

8. Copenhagen: Guided City Bike Tour

⭐ RATING: 4.6 out of 5 Stars (80+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 2 hours | 🚲 BOOK NOW

As the 8th of these Copenhagen bike tours, Copenhagen: Guided City Bike Tour is yet another solid option to see the city on 2 wheels.

As the review says, Copenhagen can be hard to navigate on a bike without a guide. That’s why you should book any of these bike tours!

Copenhagen: Guided City Bike Tour , in particular, visits “90 % of Copenhagen’s highlights”, which in 2 hours is extremely impressive.

You can see most of the tourist spots in 2 hours and then spend the rest of your trip however you like! There are so many things to do that make Copenhagen worth visiting so getting all of the typical tourist sights out of the way earlier is a big advantage.

By booking this tour you also get a headset in order to hear your guide. This is pretty common with most tours. But this tour also offers rain gear and extra warm clothes, which can come in very handy if you visit Copenhagen when the weather isn’t so great.

The guides on this tour also encourage you to “strike up a conversation about life in Copenhagen” which shows how passionate this company is about you learning as much as possible throughout your tour.

While taking a tour is a great way of seeing the city, sometimes I want to know what living in it is like. A simple “so what’s it like living here?” can lead to great conversations, so much so that I can see myself living in Copenhagen in the future.

It’s hard to say no to seeing 90% of the attractions in 2 hours, and that’s why you should consider booking this tour for your trip to Copenhagen.

9. Copenhagen: 1.5-Hour Bike Tour

⭐ RATING: 4.5 out of 5 Stars (220+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 1.5 hours | 🚲 BOOK NOW

The shortest of these Copenhagen bike tours is Copenhagen: 1.5-Hour Bike Tour lasting only an hour and a half which is the perfect option if you are short on time . It’s also rated highly with nearly 150 reviews and an average rating of 4.5 out of 5.

As Copenhagen: Guided City Bike Tour is so short, you spend less time at each of the attractions. I still wouldn’t say it’s rushed though. The tour is averagely-paced, giving just enough time to see the attractions, take some photos and learn some quick facts.

You can also vote as a tour group to visit locations not on the original route or to skip locations too. Of course, it depends on the majority vote. This is a pretty cool feature, I have to say. I wish more tours did this.

With fun stories and anecdotes from the guide about Danish culture, you are guaranteed to have a productive 90 minutes in terms of education, fitness and sightseeing. 3 amazing things to pull together, right?

If you’re short on time or want to see Copenhagen quickly, you can’t beat booking the Copenhagen: Guided City Bike Tour

10. Copenhagen: Palace, Fountain, and Church Guided E-Bike Tour

⭐ RATING: 4.8 out of 5 Stars (25+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 2 hours | 🚲 BOOK NOW

If you aren’t the biggest fan of getting active and would prefer to take a tour on an electric bike , Copenhagen: Palace, Fountain, and Church Guided E-Bike Tour is the perfect tour for you.

Of course, taking a Copenhagen bike tour on an E-Bike really speeds up the process.

Copenhagen: Palace, Fountain, and Church Guided E-Bike Tour say that you can see as much in 2 hours on an E-Bike as you could in 3 hours on a normal bike. That’s quite the difference!

You don’t have to worry about keeping up with the group or putting in much physical activity, as the E-Bikes will drive themselves- all you really have to do is steer!

As the tour says, you get both sightseeing and fun in one tour! E-Bikes can go up to 30km/hr which is quite a thrilling experience.

I love electric bikes and scooters, they’re really fun. I actually experienced both for the first time in Scandinavia, bikes in Copenhagen and scooters in Stockholm so I can recommend the e-bikes here!

The tour itself is also quite unique as it focuses on palaces, fountains and churches. It’s definitely one to consider!

Want to combine fun and sightseeing? Take the Copenhagen: Palace, Fountain, and Church Guided E-Bike Tour .

• KathyfromMV 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Easy and great location Copenhagen was a stop on our Baltic Sea cruise and we wanted to rent bikes to make it easy to see all the sights. We took the bus from the cruise ship into the central part of the city and this bike shop was only a block from the bus stop. They opened early and were very accommodating and easy to work with. Bike riding is a great way to see the city and this was a great place to get the bikes. Read more Written August 22, 2019
• AnimalPharm 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Don’t leave your luggage! I cannot review the bike rental company itself, as my family and I did a bike tour of Copenhagen thru Nova Fairy Tale tours, which meets and rents bikes from this company/location. The bike tour by Nova Fairy Tales was excellent. However, our plane was delayed and we didn’t have time to drop off our luggage prior to arriving for our bike tour. We called the tour company, which said we could store our luggage at the bike rental shop, likely for a fee, so we expected to pay something. After our tour we were charged 360 DKK for our four bags of luggage and two backpacks to sit in the corner during our tour- which is equivalent to around $50 or €50. Not to mention there was a small sign tucked in the corner advertising luggage storage for 1€ per bag per hour- which would have been €18 for the three hour tour. A total rip-off. So yes do a bike tour, but leave your luggage elsewhere if you need to drop it off beforehand!! Read more Written July 31, 2019

• Louisemigil 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Fabulous local bike shop, highly recommended! Renting a bike from Rosenberg Cykler truly made my vacation. The owner went way out of her way to accommodate my needs and rented me the perfect bike at a very fair price. In any of the tourist trap shops I would have spent more money for a far less desirable ride. It was delightful to work with a local shop and to be treated as a local. For a genuine Copenhagen experience go to Rosenborg Cykler!! Read more Written April 24, 2019
