We will observe Copenhagen through the architectural perspective, and elaborate on how the unique city planning has transformed life in this “most liveable city in the world”.
Architecture reflects all sides of life, even more so for Danish architecture, taking social issues and the community into account.
We will even take a personal and sometimes critical standpoint in addressing the bad decisions and consequences – unavoidable side effects of constantly experimenting and testing new paths. We will discuss the hidden point that makes good architecture and city planning create a framework for better urban prosperity.
On this tour, we will open the city to you and reveal the secrets to liveability beyond the obvious.

A perfect tour through the city to obvious and hidden gems. Our tour guide provided us with insights on all different levels of the historic, social and cultural past and future of the city. Apart from a great biking experience this tour was an excellent experience to understand the vibrant atmosphere of Copenhagen. We really appreciated our Guides knowledge and attitude.
I would highly recommend this bike tour. A must do while in Copenhagen! We went on the 3 hour bike tour with our two children ages 12 and 15. Wonderful for the whole family.
