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 guided 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. Tours run in small groups, or privately, in English.

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