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.

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.

Customers
We took the Contemporary Architecture tour by bicycle with Alice and it was everything I was hoping for.
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
We took the Modern Architecture tour (more than four hours) and though there was only the two of us because another party had changed their booking, lovely Alice gave it her all.
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.
