Cykelslangen

Bike on Copenhagen's New Bridges

"Let’s start big picture. What’s the experience here?Copenhagen is a marvelous city to see by bike. Grab a coffee from Prolog before heading south along the Cykelslangen (bike snake), which leads to the other side of the harbor. Bike onto Olafur Eliasson’s Circle Bridge, then ride back over the harbor on the new Lille Langebro bridge. Continue along the water to Nyhavn before riding back over the harbor along the Inderhavnsbroen, AKA the Kissing Bridge. In Christianshavn, you'll bike past the old Noma space and Restaurant 108—grab a pastry on the way—and over the Butterfly Bridge. Continue along the bike path all the way to the island of Refshaleoen. Any standout features or must-sees?Don't forget to stop and look at all the old buildings in Nyhavn. You'll be cycling along the water for most of the time, so keep an eye out for house boats and old canal boats. Was it easy to get around?If you type your route into Google Maps, you should have no navigational trouble. All said and done, what—and who—is this best for?The amount of time you spend on this excursion is entirely up to you. In a rush? Don't stop for a pastry at 108. Have all the time in the world? Pause whenever something piques your interest." - Mary Holland
