Tips from the community

The exercise-minded cheapskates will love this one: a full-day bike trip due north from the city with priceless views for a price-free experience. Riding to Helsingør takes some stamina and leg strength, but introduces you to storybook-like towns and a handful of pristine beaches. It takes a full day and about 20 miles one way, but there’s always the train nearby if you get tired. Luckily, with such a bike friendly city, it’s completely normal to take your wheels on the metro. You can rent bikes for a reasonable price and return them whenever you finish your excursion. After all, this city runs on cycling!
