Copenhagen
EUROPE · BIKES & HYGGE
A harbour clean enough to swim in, a bike for every citizen, and more Michelin stars than any city its size.
The plan
Rent a bike, immediately
It's the only correct way to see the city — flat, safe, and everyone does it.
Nyhavn at 8am
The painted harbour houses without the crowd; the coffee is better one street back.
Harbour bath at Islands Brygge
Swim in the middle of the city — the water is genuinely clean.
Reffen street food
Shipping-container kitchens on the harbour, with a beach bar attached.
Getting there

Copenhagen Kastrup (CPH) — Scandinavia's best-connected airport, 13 minutes from downtown.
