If you have much to see and little time to spend it can be an idea to go for a tour on bike. Hereby you see a broad a variety of Copenhagen through time and space. The whole cityscape is revolving around the bikelanes as the smoothest way of transporting yourself swiftly through town.

North Harbour

Nordhavn is currently the biggest Urban Development Project in the North. In 2040 80.000 people will be living and working a transformed harbour site. The area is defined by latest urban devlopment strategies that preserve the old warehouses, up-cycling old silos and adding on modern architecture to the old structures. The new synergi created by the contrast of new and old is stunning. This makes it the 2nd most expensive district in all of Denmark –even before it has been fully completed!

South Harbour

If you like dutch canals, you will surely fall for "Little Amsterdam" in Sydhavn. The area is inspired by Java island in Amsterdam. We invited the Dutch architect Sjoerd Soeters to give Copenhagen a dutch make-over in Sydhavn. With the newly designed canal city – the area celebrates the joy of being close to the sea. The area resembles diverse architecture and a lively mix of colors and materials.

Carlsberg

Carlsberg went from being a closed off factory land of the brewery, to Carlsberg City – an inviting and creative neighborhood. You feel the strong roots of the beer production of Carlsberg spiced up with elegant and modern architectural experiments such as the slim skyscrape-towers. Carlsberg is like Nordhavn representing a modern approach to urban planning. Making the most out of the traces of the past mixing it up with cosy townhouses, modern "sky-towers" and old warehouses transformed into cultural hubs. The transformation of the industrial area has successfully created a warm and welcoming mixed neighborhood.

The hip bridge quarters

The bridge quarters represents the inner Copenhagen developed throughout the 18 hundreds. The beloved working-class architecture with red brick and a Scandinavian sense for detail makes these areas the essence of the lives lived of an everyday Copenhagener.

Nørrebro is the multhiethnic vibrant core. Here you find all sorts of shops and many hipsters on retro bikes.
Vesterbro is more mundane and through gentrification the area's former population of less wealthy people, drug addicts and prostitutes have been replaced with the creative-class enjoying cold brew coffee and tattoo-shops.
Østerbro 's upperclass architecture features a new climate quarter among the many families with kids living in the area.

Culture

Around the Heart of the Copenhagen Harbour we find the grand cultural institutions of the city. As a revitalization of the harbour, it was decided in the late 1990'ies and early 2000's to built
The Royal Danish Opera,
The Royal Library,
BLOX, The Danish Architecture Center),
The Theater House (Skuespilhuset).
The harbour has gone from being the dominated by black industries to being the epicenter of modern culture.

Connections

The harbour is defined by its many connecting bridges – with even more to come. Nowadays new bridges not only include, but often is built ONLY for bikes and pedestrians.
Down the harbour we find beautiful bridges, such as
The Bike Snake (Cykelslangen)

Bryggebroen
The Little Long Bridge (Lille Langebro)
The Kissing Bridge (Inderhavsnbroen)
The Circle bridge and many more.

Transformation

Through the last 3 decades Copenhagen has undergone a fundamental transformation of its DNA. From being a polluted industrial city with a huge public debt, investments and carefull planning have made Copenhagen the most livable city world (Monocle, 2022). On the tours we dive into inspirering examples of areas and buildings that were defining for the green transition of Copenhagens into becoming the human friendly city it is today.
