Overview

Copenhagen is the world's most liveable city, but it was built by design. On this comprehensive bike tour, we explore the architecture, urban planning, and social policies that make the Danish capital thrive.

We start in the centre and ride to the waterfront to see its transformation from an industrial port into an active public space, passing Nyhavn and the modern Black Diamond. We will ride the iconic elevated Snake Bridge to experience world class bicycle urbanism first-hand before diving into the realities of gentrification in the Meatpacking District.

Next we explore how clever design keeps families in the city at local schools and hidden parks like Skydebanehaven. We cross into Frederiksberg to see how local policy shapes areas, then navigate Nørrebro, the city's most diverse district. We will visit a living cemetery and see award winning social architecture before finishing your ride across the busiest bike bridge in the world.
