Journey through the bike-friendly countries of Sweden and Denmark, cycling along flat routes across breathtaking coastal vistas while experiencing the rich Scandinavian culture firsthand.
Discover Denmark
The Kingdom of Denmark is the southernmost country within Scandinavia, and one of the most cycle-friendly destinations in Europe (80% of Danish people own a bicycle). Perhaps this love of cycling contributes to the nation’s status as one of the happiest places on earth—find out for yourself when you embark on an immersive VBT bike trip in Denmark!
Founded as a Viking fishing settlement in the 10th century, today Copenhagen is one of Europe’s most modern and technologically advanced cities. Colorful homes line canals and skirt bustling harbors, and 350 km of cycling lanes transport stylish Danes around the sleek and eco-friendly urban center.
Out in the countryside, gentle hills give way to lonely beaches and quiet roads meander through peaceful heathland. Storybook palaces dot the landscape, including the Kronborg castle—a Renaissance-era castle and UNESCO World heritage site that served as the inspiration for Elsinore in Shakespeare’s play Hamlet.
A bike trip in Denmark promises to be the perfect combination of adventure and hygge, a uniquely Danish concept that roughly translates to contented coziness.
Country Highlights
- Cycle expertly designed rural and urban bike paths in one of Scandinavia’s most bike-friendly countries.
- Ferry across the Öresund – the Baltic strait between Denmark and Sweden overlooked by Hamlet’s castle.
- Sample traditional Smørrebrød, dark rye bread topped with smoked salmon or herring.
- Get your pulse racing at the world’s second-oldest amusement park, Tivoli, right in the center of Copenhagen.
Hans Christian Andersen
The father of fairy tales lived and wrote his famous stories in Denmark. Visit his childhood home in Odense, or take a stroll by the canals in Nyhavn, where he lived most of his life. Visit the famous Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen Harbor, or stop off at the Fairytale House, a museum devoted to his life and works, in Copenhagen.
Hygge
The Danish concept of coziness has taken the world by storm. At its core, this tricky-to-pronounce word (it’s hoo-gah) is about enjoying the good things in life with loved ones and the warm feeling that creates. Experience it firsthand by cozying up with a warm coffee in a candlelit café on a chilly night, or while walking hand-in-hand with your partner along Copenhagen’s canals at sunset in summertime.
Bike Culture
Cycling isn’t just a recreational activity in Denmark, it’s a way of life. Danes use bikes to commute to work, visit friends and family, and run errands. The country’s extensive network of bike lanes makes it safe and convenient to get around on two wheels. That’s not to say that Danes don’t also enjoy cycling for fun; in fact some would describe a leisurely afternoon bike ride with friends as the height of summertime hygge!

I have done 9 trips with VBT so far, all have been great, but I must say this went to #1. The 2 best guides, the entire 20 guests like instant friends, with our leaders Prunella and Philip. I wish we had more time everywhere. The post trip to Helsinki was truly amazing, so glad we did it, only 4 of us went, sorry to say the others missed out. Jean Vermeeren
