While the world strives towards creating 15-minute neighborhoods, Nordhavn has successfully implemented the 5-minute district, where sustainable everyday life solutions are made easy with shared amenities, effortless carless living, rooftop outdoor activities and all-year swimming right next to great restaurants, shops and private houses.
On top of that, you will experience an urban density that promotes resource efficiency and community vitality.
We will show you the varied typologies and materials that make this new part of Copenhagen radiate a surprisingly cool and intimate vibe at the same time.
On this tour, we will both discuss some of the challenges and unexpected solutions that have been indispensable parts of the development of this urban testing ground.
We treasure the personal connection and the opportunity to exchange views and experiences along the way. For that our maximum group size on public tours is 12.
It’s not a fitness session, but all participants should be fairly experienced on a bike and fairly comfortable in traffic. The pace is easy and we make plenty of stops.
The tours are suitable from 12 years up, the route mainly follows bike routes and mostly avoids heavy car traffic.
You may consider our private or custom made tour options in order to get a personalized experience if you wish to influence the pace, group or itinerary.
Private pre-programmed tours can be booked here.

This tour will open your eyes to the architecture and history of Copenhagen and get you out of the congested city center and into a wide range of neighborhoods
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.
