Overview

Everyone who has cycled through Copenhagen once knows that this city loves to blend the New with the Old. But there is more to Copenhagen’s architecture than eye-catching design. Wherever you go, sustainable and humanistic ideas shape the way the city is planned and built – making it one of the greenest and friendliest cities in the world.

This tour will take you on a 3 hour bike ride through Copenhagen and introduce you to its architectural evolution and the principles that drive its sustainable city planning. You will be guided by our local guides who give you both an informative and personal account of the city's urban landscape.

Join us for an unforgettable exploration of Copenhagen's architectural landscape, and see for yourself how Copenhagen’s urban planning has inspired so many other cities around the world to follow its example.

The Tietgen Residence Hall

Amager Fælled

Used by the military as a training grounds and shooting range from the 1700s up until the 1950s, it became a garbage dump afterwards, an old tradition on Amager, which Copenhageners like to joke about (lorteøen - shit island). In spite of this history, today Amagerfælled presents as a rare example of relatively untouched nature in Copenhagen, ironically situated to a large part on artificially reclaimed land.

15 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Cykelslangen

Both bridges (Cykelslangen and Bryggebroen) together were the first of the new harbor crossings that are built exclusively for cyclists.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Enghave Park

Enghavepark was built in the late 1920s on the site of former allotment gardens. Laid out in the neoclassical style, it features a bandstand, a playground and fields for various sports. Between 2017 and 2019 it underwent a complete redesign, to play a main role in future control of torrential rains in CPH.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Folkehuset Absalon

Former church converted to a privately run community center.

5 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Meatpacking District, Copenhagen

The historic meatpacking district Kødbyen was planned by the city in order to create more sanitary and healthier conditions for the meat business in a rapidly growing city. It grew through a series of additions until it reached its impressive present size, showcasing the development of industrial architecture throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Israel's Plads

Israels Plads with the adjacent Torvehallerne is today a meeting point for CPH foodies. There has been a farmer’s market here since the strict no building policy of the walled city ended in the 1890s until the 1950s. Then the entire area became a huge parking lot.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Oerstedsparken

Ørsteds Park is an early example of reuse: Once part of the city’s defenses outside the walls, the area was transformed into a park after the city wall was demolished, retaining parts of the former moat as a lake inside the park with dramatic hills and crooked paths.
