South Harbour and Carlsberg
| 4 hours |
Available as Private Tour
This tour is a kaleidoscopic experience of many different inspirations.
We will take you to the southern part of the harbour, which was – until very recently – a hidden corner of the city with a sketchy reputation.
The new era of this neighbourhood started with a wish to create a new ‘urban suburbia’ by the water, now known as “Copenhagen’s Little Venice” where the water is an integral part of the district’s identity and design.

The tour will also cover some ground and go to Carlsberg city, a cultural heritage collage of clashes between new and old, creativity and commerce, science and culture, coming together in this multifaceted and multi-layered area that came to life when the world-famous brewery moved out.
Carlsberg City won the title of “the world’s best master plan” in 2009, and we will be pointing out the scars left by development made fast and praising the solutions that make this place worth visiting.
The South Harbour and Carlsberg have so much to offer in terms of inspiration and perception, towering high above the mandatory selfie by the Elephant Gate.
To the vast majority of visitors to Copenhagen, this is a hidden gem, never to be discovered.
Well… We can change that for you, and you are in for a treat.
Please note: The route is approximately 15 km long and best suited for fairly experienced bikers.

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.
