Copenhagen Highlights Bike Tour

Visit the Highlights of Copenhagen
Explore Copenhagen’s charm and lifestyle on our Highlights Bike Tour, guided by a local expert. Discover what makes this city so unique and attractive as you visit the most iconic landmarks and are introduced to the personal favourites of your guide. Join us for an unforgettable adventure through the heart of the world’s best cycling city!
Cycling in Copenhagen is not just a way of transportation but a way of life. More than half of all Copenhageners get around town on a bike, supported by an incredible cycling infrastructure. Our Copenhagen Highlights Bike Tour takes you on a 3 hour adventure into the city to experience this way of life for yourself and discover the best way of sightseeing. Our tours are available in German, Dutch, English, French, and Spanish.
Sightseeing with a Personal Touch
At Tropical Bikes, we believe that our tours are more than just hopping from one location to another. Our guides love this city and they have plenty of stories to tell. That’s why we encourage our guides to blend some of their personal favourites into the tour, offering you both the common highlights but also hidden gems and deeper tips and tricks into Copenhagen’s vibrant life. Do not hesitate to ask questions – our tours are meant to be a dialogue between you and our guides, between you and the city.
Before, During, and After the Tour
Your comfort and safety are important for us. Each tour will start with a thorough introduction to our bikes and cycling rules in Copenhagen. Please be there 15 minutes before the start of the tour so you can check-in, use the toilet, and be ready to leave. We have a comfortable lounge area where you can hang out before and after the tour.
The tour will take approximately 3 hours and cover roughly 8 km. Copenhagen is flat and cycling is usually very laid back. During the tour you will get to see what we consider the essential stops of Copenhagen. Those are marked with an asterisk (*) in the itinerary. All other stops are popular ones but the guides are free to choose alternative routes for a more personal take. If you are really keen on seeing one of the optional stops, let your guide know, and they will be happy to include it.
Back at the store, you can rest a bit in our lounge, visit the toilet again, and get some refreshments. Our guides are also available to give you further recommendations for your stay.
