Itinerary
Day 1 (Sunday): Arrival in Copenhagen.
In Copenhagen do have a stroll on Strøget, the long pedestrian street. Here you will find the old medieval part of Copenhagen, as well as many excellent restaurants.
Day 2 (Monday): Copenhagen to Helsingør, 30 miles (48km).
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 of 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 famous Danish author Karen Blixen ( Out of Africa). 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 (tuesday): Helsingør to Hillerød, 21 miles (34km).
A day of castles! When in Helsingør visit Hamlet's castle Kronborg. After that, a lovely ride down to Fredensborg - Lots of time on your hands, fresh air and beautiful countryside all around you. Continue to Hillerød. The night is spent at a modern hotel near the famous castle Frederiksborg Castle.
Day 4 (wednesday): Hillerød to Roskilde, 34 miles (55km).
If you have saved the visit of Frederiksborg Castle until today, you will have enough time to explore the unique interior of the castle, located in the middle of a lake, surrounded by baroque gardens. Then on to Roskilde, the former 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 (thursday): Roskilde to Copenhagen, 28 miles (46km).
Back to Copenhagen through picturesque villages to the beaches south of the capital. A path takes you along the coast away from traffic, all the way into the centre of Copenhagen.
