Copenhagen's harbour is ringed by cycle paths and bridges just for bikes and people on foot. The route starts at Nyhavn, crosses Inderhavnsbroen to Christianshavn and follows the water to Islands Brygge and its harbour bath, then crosses Bryggebroen and returns along Kalvebod Brygge past Christiansborg.
It's a flat, easy ride, but the bridges and quays are popular, so take it slowly among the pedestrians. On a summer day, stop for a swim at the harbour bath.
