Start in Copenhagen, spend 5 nights in excellent hotels and 4 days cycling an average of 30 miles per day. Your luggage is waiting for you each evening when you arrive at your new hotel.

A shorter version of the 7 night tour, but including all the highlights. The first and last nights are spent in Copenhagen. Extra nights at a reasonable price are available.

This tour is suitable for everyone who would like to combine bicycling with another type of holiday, for instance a city trip to Copenhagen or one of the other Scandinavian capitals.

Combine it with the Best of Funen Bike Tour and you have a great 10 night tour.

Itinerary

Arrival in Copenhagen. All major sights are within walking distance of the hotel. How about a stroll down Stroget, the long pedestrian street? Not forgetting the side streets of course. Here you will find the old medieval part of Copenhagen as well as many excellent restaurants.

30 miles

Ahead of you on the first day of bicycling lies a pleasant ride out of Copenhagen (on bicycle paths) towards Helsingør. Enjoy Dyrehaven, the royal hunting ground on your left, and the view over the sea - Sweden towering in the distance - on your right. You will be riding near the coast all day. At Rungsted you can visit the home of the Danish author, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen). Louisiana, the museum in Humlebæk, enjoying world acclaim for its exhibitions of modern art as well as for its picturesque location, is definitely worth a stop. The night is spent in Helsingør.

35 miles

A day of castles! When in Helsingør visit Hamlet's castle, Kronborg. After that, a lovely ride down to Fredensborg to visit the Queen's summer palace. On to Hillerød and Frederiksborg Castle, perhaps the most beautiful of them all. Spend the night in the village Skuldelev.

34 miles

Head south through forest land and undulating fields to Roskilde, the old Danish capital. In the large cathedral the kings and queens of Denmark are buried. The Vikings lived at Roskilde and their ships can still be seen here. You will spend the night in the centre of Roskilde.

28 miles

Back to Copenhagen. Through picturesque villages to the beaches south of the capital. A path takes you along the coast, away from the traffic, all the way into the center of Copenhagen.

Tour ends after breakfast.
