City Tour in Copenhagen

Copenhagen – the mecca of cycling! It can be a good idea to do sightseeing by bike, but some of our tours can also be done on foot. If you want quick transport into the city centre, you can take the Metro - Nordhavn station is a stone's throw away from the terminal.

Although Copenhagen is a small city, compared to other European cities, there is a LOT to experience and see! The city makes it possible to see more in less time - perhaps especially by bicycle. We have an agreement with 'Copenhagen E-bike tours', which rents out electric bicycles. The bike rental is only a few minutes from the DFDS terminal and all DFDS travelers get a 10% discount, CODE: DFDSCHP - helmet included!

We have put together some really nice suggestions for you with useful information and guidance. This is a great way to see and learn more about the city. You choose based on your interests and plan for the city visit.

Feel the explorer urge in you!

Get your feet wet in beautiful Copenhagen! Start the trip by shuttle bus from the terminal to Nørreport.
