DENMARK: With 382 kilometres of idyllic bike paths, Copenhagen is your playground for pedal-powered adventures. Whether you're cruising past historic landmarks, admiring trendy architecture, or making a tasty pit stop, Copenhagen has your bike-loving heart racing. And as the world's most bike-friendly city, Copenhagen is on a mission to be CO2-neutral by 2050, so it's promoting cycling like no other metropolis with locals cycling 1.2 million kilometres daily. Where to go on two wheels you wonder? Rent a bike via app or directly from many hotels, like the Adina Hotel Copenhagen, and head to some of the best sites in the city below... 

Dragør: The Picture-Perfect Fishing Village

Kick off your adventure with a cycle to Dragør - a picturesque fishing village right on Copenhagen’s doorstep. Just a half-hour from the city centre, your route will whisk you through the scenic Amager commons and the lush Kongelund forest before arriving in this quaint coastal town. Step back in time with cobbled streets, colourful thatched houses, and romantic gardens. Wander through charming alleys, visit local museums, and soak up the rich history. Finish your visit with a meal at one of the harbour restaurants while enjoying stunning views of the Øresund.

Copenhill: Skiing on a Waste-to-Energy Plant

Ready for a thrill? On your bike head to Copenhill, where you can swap your wheels for a set of skis. Hit the slopes year-round right in the heart of the city at Copenhagen's highest artificial outdoor ski slope, atop an innovative waste-to-energy plant. Forget snow - green mats provide an authentic skiing experience. With diverse slopes, a freestyle park, and a peak restaurant, Copenhill has it all for those who love outdoor adventure. Prefer to watch? Cruise on your bike, hike the trails or scale the impressive climbing wall. 

Reffen: Street Food Heaven

Foodies, rejoice! The ride to Reffen is a scenic delight, and once there, you’ll find Copenhagen’s largest and most vibrant street food market. On the grounds of an old shipyard, Reffen boasts an array of global flavours - from Indian curries and Japanese sushi to Argentine steaks and Hawaiian poke bowls. And don’t worry about the weather - the large covered area keeps you dry. Grab your bike, snag a table, and enjoy delicious eats and maybe a cocktail or two in a laid-back atmosphere.

Royal Smushi Cafe: Tradition Meets Innovation

Your bike ride might also lead you to the Royal Smushi Cafe, where the world of 'Smushi' awaits. This place fuses traditional Danish cuisine with creative flair. Smushi, a brilliant blend of Smørrebrød and sushi, are little masterpieces that taste as good as they look. Nestled in a charming alley, the cafe features artful walls, lovely shelves, and a cosy vibe. Sit outside, breathe in the fresh air, and savour these delightful treats.

Gasoline Grill: The Burger Hotspot

Craving the best burger in town? Then head to Gasoline Grill. Choose from one of the seven locations that best fit your cycling route. Here, fresh meat is crafted into juicy patties and grilled to perfection with care. The original spot, in a vintage gas station near the Rose Garden, has a unique charm. Enjoy your burger in an authentic setting that harks back to yesteryears, and relishes the quality of mostly organic ingredients.
