Day 1 Arrival in Copenhagen. All major sights are within walking distance of the hotel. How about a stroll down Strøget, the long pedestrian street? Not forgetting the side streets of course. Here you will find the old medieval part of Copenhagen as well as many excellent restaurants.
Day 2 - 48 km Ahead of you on the first day of bicycling lies a pleasant ride out of Copenhagen (on bicycle paths) towards Helsingør. Enjoy Dyrehaven, the royal hunting ground on your left, and the view over the sea - Sweden towering in the distance - on your right. You will be riding near the coast all day. At Rungsted you can visit the home of the Danish author, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen). Louisiana, the museum in Humlebæk, enjoying world acclaim for its exhibitions of modern art as well as for its picturesque location, is definitely worth a stop. The night is spent in Helsingør. Day 3 - 34 km A day of castles! When in Helsingør visit Hamlet's castle, Kronborg. After that, a lovely ride down to Fredensborg to visit the Queen's summer palace. On to Hillerød and Frederiksborg Castle, perhaps the most beautiful castle of them all. The interior is unique. Spend the night in Hillerød. Day 4 - 55 km Head south through forest land and undulating fields to Roskilde, the old Danish capital. In the large cathedral the kings and queens of Denmark are buried. The Vikings lived at Roskilde and their ships can still be seen here. You will spend the night in the centre of Roskilde. Day 5 - 46 km Back to Copenhagen. Through picturesque villages to the beaches south of the capital. A path takes you along the coast, away from the traffic, all the way into the centre of Copenhagen.
