Copenhagen’s Best Biking and Best Airline Tickets

Although you’ll be traveling to Denmark by way of cheap flights to Copenhagen, this city is one of Europe’s best metropolitan areas for biking. Around 40 percent of locals cycle around the city every single day. Cycling is also one of the favorite modes of transportation for tourists as well. Copenhagen has countless bike lanes and bikers can also travel either way down one way streets.

While there are many city bike rental options usually found close to other centers of public transportation, the city also has free public bikes available. If you really want to extend the savings you’ve made on flights to Copenhagen and airline deals, pick up one of these bikes at stands around the city by depositing 20 Kroner (just under four dollars) which you’ll later receive back when you return the bike at another stand. These bikes, known under the name City Bike One, have become famous around Europe and the rest of the world. Former American president Bill Clinton was even presented with his own City Bike One as a gift from Copenhagen.

You can also arrange to see the city by bike with informative guides, as there are many bike tours available. Some of the most popular guided bike tours are the Bike Copenhagen with Mike tours. There are city day tours, evening tours, and contemporary Copenhagen tours. The daily tour covers 12 kilometers of history and beautiful city views in three hours of easy riding and fun lectures. These leave from a spot right near the central train station and cost 35 euros including the bike rental, definitely a feasible fee for most travelers after buying the best airline tickets deals from international airlines. You can also arrange private Bike Mike tours and Copenhagen Unplugged tours for alternative sightseeing. This is a good tour to do if your biking skills are a bit rusty, as the tours start with some safety info and usually avoid biking on the main roads.

Remember to be cautious if you’re a novice biker, as most Copenhagen locals have been biking all their lives and tend to zip around and change lanes without giving much notice. You can even bike right to the city after your flights to Copenhagen as there are bikes available at the main airport as well as a bicycle tire pump. Save on the best fares for cheap tickets to Copenhagen and see this beautiful city completely free of charge on a city bike, or splurge for a fascinating and informative bike tour.
