A shorter version of the 7 night
tour, but including all the highlights.
The first and last nights are spent in
Copenhagen. Extra nights at a reasonable price are available.
Day 1
COPENHAGEN
Arrival in Copenhagen. All major sights are within walking distance of
the hotel. How about a stroll down Stroget, the long pedestrian street?
Not forgetting the side streets of course. Here you will find the old
medieval part of Copenhagen as well as many excellent restaurants.
Day 2 COPENHAGEN-HELSINGØR
- 30 miles
Ahead of you on the first day of bicycling lies a pleasant ride out of
Copenhagen (on bicycle paths) towards Helsingør. Enjoy Dyrehaven, the
royal hunting ground on your left, and the view over the sea - Sweden
towering in the distance - on your right. You will be riding near the
coast all day. At Rungsted you can visit the home of the Danish author,
Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen). Louisiana, the museum in Humlebæk, enjoying
world acclaim for its exhibitions of modern art as well as for its
picturesque location, is definitely worth a stop. The night is spent in
Helsingør. Dinner.
Day 3
HELSINGOR-HILLEROD - 20 miles
A day of castles! When in Helsingør visit Hamlet's castle, Kronborg.
After that, a lovely ride down to Fredensborg to visit the Queen's
summer palace. On to Hillerød and Frederiksborg Castle, perhaps the most
beautiful of them all. Spend the night in Hillerod. Dinner.
Day 4
HILLEROD-ROSKILDE - 30 miles
Visit the beautifully restored manor house Selsø Slot. Continue through
forest land and undulating fields to the open-air museum Lejre where you

the old Danish capital. In the large cathedral the kings and queens of
Denmark are buried. The Vikings lived at Roskilde and their ships can
still be seen here. You will spend the night in the center of Roskilde.
Dinner.
