Copenhagen is best explored on two wheels. It is the best bike city in the world after all. We'll tell you everything you need to know about why Copenhagen is such a great city for biking, bike routes, where to rent a bike, biking rules and much, much more! 

The practicalities

Getting on a bike in Copenhagen for the first time can seem a bit daunting for some.

Our best advice is to avoid the bigger streets during the early morning rush hour (7.00-9.00) and late afternoon rush hour (15.00-17.00), when the local Copenhageners are rushing to and from work and school. The Copenhagen bike lanes can be hectic in these time slots. Especially if you're a less experienced cyclist, you'll have a much better time exploring Copenhagen in the lesser crowded periods of the day.

With this guide on where to rent a bike and an article that'll teach you all you need to know before getting in the saddle, you'll be more than good to go.
