Dive in and ride along on our Danish detour. - Author: Piotrek Bodera - Tags: #project Amsterdam is known for its bike culture. However, the capital of Denmark actually leads in the best bike infrastructure and more than half of the population cycles. That's why during the current Euro trip, we decided to sign up for a bike tour of Copenhagen. Walking is my primary mode of discovery, like [recently in Vienna](https://nerdontour.net/one-week-in-vienna-in-2025/). Yet seeing the city from a bike seat offers a unique perspective. Especially when cyclists have their separate lanes, traffic lights, crossings, highways, and even dedicated bridges! ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7832-1.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7836-1.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7837.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7843.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7845-1.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7846-1.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7848.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7853.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7855.jpeg) We went to Tropical Bikes, where we rented Hollanders, which are low top pipe type of bikea, allowing for an easy step-through. This was crucial for getting us around the city. [René from Tropical Bikes](https://www.tropicalbikes.dk/tours/copenhagen-highlights-bike-tour?ref=nerdontour.net) guided us through: - the city hall square, - royal palaces, - the Little Mermaid sculpture, - along the colorful canals, - and sunny parks. 🚲 If you'd like 10% off for Tropical Bikes tour, use the code: ****CopenhagenJungle25** ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7856.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7857.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7859.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7860.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7866.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7868.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7871.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7872.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7873.jpeg) Big open spaces and environmental focus are what I especially enjoyed in Copenhagen. A former major port city that prioritizes renewable energy solutions. In the past, the wind moved Danish yacht fleet, and today it generates electricity via their numerous wind mills. An efficient train network was another surprising thing about the city. They not only travel across Denmark but also to Sweden. The two countries were at war for centuries. Yet now they have a bridge that connects Copenhagen with Malmö, which allows Europeans to work in one place and live in the other. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7876.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7877.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7880.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7881.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7888.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7890.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7918.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7921.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7923.jpeg) We did that as well, staying over at friends' house in Eslöv, Sweden, and getting train tickets via the [‎Skånetrafiken](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sk%C3%A5netrafiken/id1180539331?ref=nerdontour.net) app. For the additional metro trips in Copenhagen we used the [Rejsebillet](https://apps.apple.com/dk/app/rejsebillet/id1664432486?l=da&ref=nerdontour.net). Both were really convenient since we could use Apple Pay to buy the tickets. To celebrate the great day in Copenhagen, we went to [Reffen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/x7qUymQgdxFU7QoZ9?ref=nerdontour.net) to taste the rich collection of food trucks. Technically, these are cargo containers repurposed and arranged into an art installation. Nevertheless, it's a hip place where you can taste treats from around the globe. Next stop, Rouen, France! ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7925.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7931.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7954.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7960.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7984.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/16/3e/163e6ae2-f4f9-4a47-9fd9-81c2af8159f2/content/images/2025/09/IMG_7962.jpeg)
