Your route, stop by stop
A sea-and-architecture ride up the northern coast: from Osterport past Langelinie, the Little Mermaid and Kastellet into Nordhavn's sharp new districts, then on along the water through Svanemollen and Hellerup harbours to the beach park at Charlottenlund Fort. Cardamom buns and coffee fuel the way out; a fort lunch rewards the turn-around.
