Your route, stop by stop
One of the great Copenhagen day rides: south from Christianshavn along Amager Strandpark, past Den Bla Planet and Kastrup's spiral sea bath, then on to the cobbled old town and working harbour of Dragor. The eastern coast route is about 16 km each way, so reckon on 32-40 km return - flat, breezy and full of swim stops and smokehouse lunches.
