Your route, stop by stop
The genteel side of the city. Roll up the lime-tree avenue of Frederiksberg Alle, browse foodie Vaernedamsvej, then take in the romantic canals of Frederiksberg Have, the little Storm P. Museum, the woods and underground cisterns of Sondermarken, and the reborn brewery lanes of Carlsberg City under their granite elephants. Wine bars and bakeries the whole way.
