The easy-going family ride. Osterbro is leafy, low-traffic and proud of it: start at Trianglen, wander the protected 1850s terraces of Brumleby, let the kids loose in vast Faelledparken, browse pram-friendly Nordre Frihavnsgade, and finish out at the little Svanemollen beach. Cardamom buns, brunch squares and a relaxed pace throughout.
