Cycling day trip from Køge to Copenhagen

Starting your ride in Køge, you'll begin in a charming coastal town that marries history with a vibrant modern feel. This route to Copenhagen is a cyclist’s dream with nearly three-quarters of it being dedicated cycleways, ensuring a smooth and largely uninterrupted ride. In the early stages, pedal through the picturesque streets of Køge, known for its well-preserved medieval town center and Denmark's oldest dated half-timbered house.

As you move away from Køge, you'll enjoy the tranquility of quiet roads and paths, surrounded by the gentle lapping of the Danish countryside against your wheels. The majority of the journey is on asphalt, making for easy pedaling, with only a brief flirt with gravel, adding a touch of adventure to your ride.

Approaching Copenhagen, the air becomes alive with the anticipation of the bustling city. The final stretch is easy, descending gently towards the city, allowing you to roll into Denmark’s capital in style. Once in Copenhagen, reward yourself with a coffee from one of the many local spots, and enjoy the city's reputation as one of the world’s most bike-friendly capitals, where cyclists rule the roads.
