Shore Excursions Group
Culinary Bike Adventure
Take in all of the sights that make Copenhagen such a distinctive European capital city on this bicycling and culinary day tour. Over the course of this three-hour adventure, you’ll bike around the city and visit some of the city’s historic sites and modern attractions.
Along the way, you’ll make a series of stops to sample some of Copenhagen’s most delectable delicacies. At the Boutique Fisk, you’ll be able to dig into a Fiskefrikadelle, which is a fish meatball popular in Denmark, with rye bread and remoulade. Next is a stop at Summerbird, where you’ll enjoy a Flødebolle, a chocolate-covered marshmallow treat.
There are also stops at Den Økologiske Pølsemand for a Copenhagen hot dog, Lagkagehuset for a traditional Danish pastry, Mikkeller for some locally brewed beer, and SKAAL for a Danish Smørrebrød (which are open-faced sandwiches).
While the scrumptious food you’ll sample is certainly the main fixture of this bicycle tour of Copenhagen, you’ll also enjoy traditional sightseeing, including stops at the Islands Brygge, Cykelslangen and The Meat Packing District.

Charming Copenhagen is the jewel of Denmark and a delightful stop for any traveler. Well-known as an eco-friendly haven for sustainable and green living, Copenhagen has embraced its status as the best “bike city” on earth and promoted the use of bicycles by locals and tourists. Hop on a bike, electric bus, or train to easily traverse and explore this colorful and historic city. Copenhagen has its share of iconic landmarks and visually stunning architecture. The oft-photographed Little Mermaid sculpture, whose pensive frame overlooks the harbor, is inspired by the work of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen and has come to symbolize the city. The Nyhavn canal is perhaps the most famous attraction in Copenhagen, where vibrant 18th-century townhomes in hues of red, yellow, pink, and blue line its waterfront. The splendid Tivoli Gardens are an absolute must-see; millions of visitors delight in thrilling amusement park rides and captivatingly lush gardens. Take a seat at the Tivoli Concert Hall or Glass Hall Theatre to watch operas, classical music and rock concerts, or stand-up comedy. Sightseeing, shopping, and dining opportunities abound in any of Copenhagen’s fourteen distinct neighborhoods! Vestebro, the city’s former red-light district, is now a trendy hub for designer boutiques, authentic and Michelin-star eats, and Copenhagen’s nightlife scene. Go for a swim in the harbor baths of Islands Brygge or venture a little further from the city center to the Amager neighborhood, where you’ll find Denmark’s National Aquarium and Amager Beach, a summertime favorite. There are plenty of historic and cultural sites to pique your interest, too. Breathtaking royal dwellings like Rosenborg Castle, a Renaissance gem that houses the country’s crown jewels, and Amalienborg Palace, the queen’s rococo-style abode and a vast royal museum, beckon you to revel in the enchanting world of vintage Copenhagen. The city’s Round Tower, a 17th-century observatory tower, provides spectacular views of the city and informative exhibitions on Danish art and science. There is so much to discover and savor in Copenhagen, Denmark! |
