Copenhagen Grand Tour - The Big Saturday Ride

The 50 km everything-ride: harbour, coast, wilderness, gardens and lakes.

Sights & culture Food & drink Your route, stop by stop

Block out a Saturday. The Grand Tour links the best of the other routes into one big day: out of the centre on Havneringen, down to Amager Strand and on toward Dragor or Kalvebod Faelled, back through Orestad to Frederiksberg, up into Norrebro and home along Soerne. Reckon on 45-60 km depending on the variant - pace it with a long lunch and plenty of coffee.

Surface: Mixed: harbour paths, coast roads and greenways Traffic: Medium Better without small kids
