Overview

Copenhagen isn't just beautiful to look at, it's one of the best places to eat while you explore it. This 3.5 hour private bike tour pairs easy cycling on Danish city bikes with six tastings tracing how food shapes city life.

Pedal from the historic center to Islands Brygge to build your own smørrebrød, Denmark's iconic open-faced sandwich, by the harbor baths. Continue past a hidden urban farm and green space, then stop for coffee and Danish pastry.

No food tour is complete without the Home of Carlsberg, where you'll sip a cold beer in its historic courtyard and hear how it shaped the city. The tour ends in Kødbyen, a former slaughterhouse district turned foodie neighborhood, for a final round of local snacks.

Your guide, who calls Copenhagen home, shares the story behind New Nordic food culture, Danish hygge, and how these neighborhoods transformed.

Dietary needs: we can adapt some stops. Contact us after booking to confirm.

What to expect

Lille Langebro
10m

Copenhagen’s modern waterfront reconversion history.
Islands Brygge
45m

Here we pause for a hands-on workshop: you will craft and eat your own traditional smørrebrød, layering fresh toppings on rye bread while we explore the history of the Danish lunch box and everyday food rituals.
10m

A sustainable urban farm. This frames our discussion of the New Nordic Food Manifesto and Denmark's shift toward local, seasonal, and low waste food culture
Katolsk Vestre Kirkegaard
45m

We step into the vast green landscape of the city's largest cemetery. Over a cup of lightly roasted fair trade coffee and a classic Danish pastry, we dive deep into the concept of Hygge. We explore the balance between Danish individualism and collective social support, and discuss how locals use this space for community reflection rather than treating it as a taboo area.
Home of Carlsberg
10m

Pausing in the courtyard for a cold Danish beer while we unpack the link between brewing, science, and society
Meatpacking District Copenhagen
15m

Where over a peculiar tasting of the most traditional Danish flavour, Liquorice, we examine controlled gentrification, industrial heritage, and how the city's gritty past coexists with its dynamic dining and nightlife scene.
