With a Boat & Bike Ticket, you get the best of both worlds! Copenhagen is known as the bike capital of the world, with bike lanes everywhere. Many locals bike to school and work to save time, enjoy fresh air, and have the freedom to set their own schedule.
Surrounded by water, it’s only natural that locals love sailing or swimming at one of the city’s many harbor baths, making a boat tour a must on your things-to-do list.
Discover Must-See Sights by Boat

Tips & Tricks for Riding a Bike in Copenhagen
Riding a bike in Copenhagen might feel intimidating because locals ride quickly and know their routes well. We’ve gathered these helpful tips to ensure you fit right in:
- Don’t ride side by side if it takes up the entire bike path. Ride in a single file or in pairs if the path is wide enough
- Always stay on the right side of the bike path or road unless you’re passing a slower rider
- Look back before moving to the left side of the path or road
- At stoplights, cross only on green, and watch for pedestrians when turning
- Biking on sidewalks or pedestrian crossings isn’t permitted
- Always signal! There are three very important signals to remember:
1. Stop: Raise your hand (left hand is most visible, but either hand is okay)
2. Left turn: Extend your left arm out sideways
3. Right turn: Extend your right arm out sideways
