Your route, stop by stop
The classic Copenhagen day ride: south along Amager Strandpark, past Den Blå Planet and the airport's sea edge to Dragør - a perfectly preserved fishing village of yellow cottages and cobbled lanes. Smoked fish on the harbour, ice cream from 1927, and the Øresund Bridge on the horizon all the way home.
