1. Guided Bike Tour in Wonderful Copenhagen

If you’re looking to experience Copenhagen like a true local, you have to somehow incorporate bike-riding along the way. Take it a step further by going on a proper cycling tour that lets you glide through the city in all its charming, eco-friendly glory.

The Guided Bike Tour in Wonderful Copenhagen is a stylish and leisurely way to explore the Danish capital in just 2 hours! As it is a relatively short tour, there are plenty of start times to choose from, so you can select the one that works best with your existing schedule.

The start times range from 9 am to 3:30 pm, so you can count on being back in time for dinner, at the latest. In just 2 hours, you’ll ride past through the city’s most iconic neighborhoods, from the cozy streets of Vesterbro, to the historic Nyhavn district, with the wind in your hair and the sights and sounds surrounding you.

This bike tour offers the chance to experience Copenhagen’s blend of old-world charm with sleek modernity in an intimate and sustainable way. Your guide ensures everyone stays safe, providing radio receivers so you’ll always hear them clearly, no matter where you are.

The local guides are great at sharing historical anecdotes along with plenty of personal anecdotes, enriching the experience in a way no history book could provide.

We saw a nice blend of some of the most iconic tourist sites along with plenty of hidden gems, taking well-timed breaks along the way to take photos and rest our legs.

The small-group tour setting only added to the personal feel of the excursion, and I appreciated that when we were done, they welcomed us to stay in their lounge as long as we wanted to enjoy free hot coffee, hot chocolate, beer, water, and juice.

2. Copenhagen 3 Hour Private Bike Tour with Local Guide

Have you ever been on a big group tour that just felt like you were one in a herd of people, or like you couldn’t even hear what your guide was saying?

These kinds of experiences may work for some cities and places, but I’m going to go off of my own experiences and say that Copenhagen thrives more with smaller groups.

The Copenhagen 3-Hour Private Bike Tour with Local Guide experience is an intimate, tailored adventure where it feels more like a friend is showing you around.

That’s not to say that your guide will in anyway be unprofessional or unqualified – quite the opposite, actually! Traveling by bike is much easier on these city streets when the crowds are smaller, and you’ll hear your guide much easier, too.

Starting things off, you’ll get to select from many different start times, then head straight to the bike shop in order to be fitted with the right one, as well as your safety equipment.

The bikes were in excellent condition and were so smooth to ride, though it’s not as if I expected anything less from the cycling capital of the world! This is a great way to get the lay of the land and see all of the city’s iconic architecture laid out before you, with no obstructions.

Copenhagen has many different lanes for biking which made is a super convenient way to tour, and our guide was excellent in ensuring we all stuck together and could hear her.

We started out by seeing structures like the City Hall and the Christiansborg Slot before exploring the iconic 17th-century townhomes, learning how it served as a gateway from the sea to the old inner city.

We also got to see famous spots like the Amalienborg Museum (the Royal family’s current palace), and my personal favorite: The Little Mermaid statue which sits in front of the picturesque waterfront.

3. Copenhagen Highlights 3 Hour Bike Tour with Local Guide

This city was made for biking, and the Copenhagen Highlights 3-Hour Bike Tour with Local Guide takes full advantage of that fact, offering an unforgettable ride through its most iconic sights.

This tour is perfect for those who want to see it all – from the opulent royal palaces and bustling squares to hidden canals and lush parks. The balance of top-notch sightseeing combined with the laidback “hygge” Copenhagen spirit led by a local guide practically guarantees a good time.

There are plenty of different start times available over the morning and afternoon, and you’ll start out by meeting up with your guide and the rest of your small group at the bike shop.

Once there, they’ll get you matched with a bike that fits you well, along with your helmet, if you choose to wear one (always recommended but not necessary). Set out to the streets, navigating the city on its well-maintained, easy-to-ride bikes as you follow along and learn all about the culture and history of the area.

Our guide did a great job of highlighting not only the bigger history aspects but offered plenty of anecdotes with a focus on the quirky nuances that make Copenhagen so unique.

I recommend taking this tour either on the first or second day of your trip, as you’re going to learn so many helpful tips and recommendations you can apply later on. I felt like the 3-hour length was perfect for seeing a ton while going at a leisurely pace, even making a stop for some (incredible) coffee and cake.

I enjoyed the different neighborhoods covered, cycling past landmarks like the Nyhavn Harbor with its colorful buildings, and the majestic Rosenborg Castle, home to Denmark’s crown jewels.

The off-the-beaten path gems and personal touch from our friendly guide is really what sealed the deal for me, focusing more on alternative culture and bohemian vibes than anything else.

4. The Beauty of Copenhagen by Bike: Private Tour

I always try to get as close as I can to seeing a city I’m visiting for the first time from the perspective of a local – however, it’s not always easy to do.

On The Beauty of Copenhagen by Bike: Private Tour, you have a local by your side as you cycle through the city with a customized itinerary designed around your interests. It’s as if a longtime friend who just happens to be a local expert lead you around to all of the spots they know you’d find most interesting.

This 2.5-hour adventure is perfect for venturing beyond the typical sightseeing spots, though if you’ve never seen them before, you could certainly focus on them, as well.

With this tour, Copenhagen is there for the taking – whether you’d like to focus more on architecture and history, Vikings, royals, or just see the more local haunts. I started out by taking me and my family over to the bike shop, where we met up with our guide and were fitted with bikes that worked with our different heights.

We then set off on our ride, and I instantly noticed the bikes were smooth and easy to ride, with the wide Copenhagen bike lanes making the journey that much more convenient.

As it was just the few of us, it was very easy to hear our guide share interesting cultural and historical information as we cruised by different landmarks and neighborhoods.

I’d say this is a great tour to take if you’d like the guide all to yourself, and/or if you’re going with young children who may be harder to watch after in a non-private group tour.

I absolutely loved this tour, which was so much more relaxed and intimate than most, offering a deeper understanding of Denmark’s capital and what the “hygge” way of life really means.

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or you’ve been here many times before, you’re sure to discover new aspects to this fantastic metropolis.

The Copenhagen 3-Hour City Highlights Bike Tour is one of my top recommendations if it’s your first time here and would like to knock out the top landmarks and some hidden gems in an immersive, fun way.

You have plenty of time to stop and rest your legs, take some photos, and really immerse yourself in the stories behind the different landmarks. We learned all about Copenhagen’s sustainability efforts, its hygge culture, and the best places to grab some food or shop around!

From the relaxing Tivoli Gardens to the bustling Nyhavn, you’ll head through the lesser-known streets and serene green spaces that really make up Copenhagen.

With impeccably clean streets, kind locals, and plenty of interesting architecture to gawk at, you’re sure to fall even more in love with the city after this tour!

I mean, one of the parks we went to even had a casual elephant enclosure right in the middle of it – a perfect example of how Copenhagen pulls off “eccentric” quite effortlessly.
