Travel By Bicycle
Copenhagen is known as Bike City, so travel by bicycle is a safe option. Find rental locations all over the city. Biking provides many advantages. Move at your own pace, get off the beaten track and stop whenever you feel the urge to smell the flowers, coffee or bacon.
Stretch Your Legs
Copenhagen is a small city, so most attractions and activities are within walking or cycling distance. Walking allows you to experience the sights and sounds of Copenhagen and you can meet and greet the locals who can recommend the best spots or secret hang-outs in the city.
