Quick ride by bicycle from Frederiksberg to Christianshavn

This relaxed city ride takes you from the leafy, elegant streets of Frederiksberg, known for its beautiful parks and classy cafés, straight to the lively canals of Christianshavn. The route is just over 6 km—easy-going and mostly flat, with hardly any hills to worry about (just a slight descent, so you might barely notice you’re rolling towards the water).

Most of your ride will be on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways—the hallmark of Copenhagen’s famously bike-friendly infrastructure. Nearly all the surface is smooth asphalt, though you’ll get a tiny taste of Copenhagen cobblestones (just 2% of the path—think character, not discomfort).

You'll pass through vibrant neighborhoods, watch the city shift from Frederiksberg’s calm to Christianshavn’s creative buzz (restaurants, bakeries, and even the iconic free town of Christiania nearby!). It’s a scenic ride, perfect for daily commuting or a lazy afternoon exploring with plenty of spots to stop for coffee or snaps.
