Royal Copenhagen

Looking for royal hot spots? Check out the bike lanes of Copenhagen! Crown Princess Mary is often seen peddling by on her cargo bike with one of her kids chilling in the front (perhaps more so when they were younger). So what better way to travel through town, talking about everything Royal in Copenhagen, than by bike?

From former home to office, to summer residence turned museum, we’ll zoom between palaces and royal must-sees on our bikes just like the Crown Princess. We’ll answer questions like: What’s the story behind the beloved Royal Family with high approval ratings?… How did the Crown Prince and Princess meet?… and, which king built half of the city? Get to know Danish royalty and the city of Copenhagen, cycling from one sight to another on our way to two of Copenhagen’s many palaces, Christiansborg Palace and Rosenborg Palace.

The Queen of Denmark and the Danish Parliament share a coffee machine and office space (well, they share the palace at least) at the island palace, Christiansborg. Marvel at the luxurious interior and sensational history of this place. Not to be missed: the Queen’s Tapestries! Back on our bikes, we set off in the direction of the old town. Though mostly destroyed in fires and war, there are still many old buildings and streets to enjoy. We’ll see the Copenhagen Cathedral, where the Crown Prince and Princess married in 2004, and Amalienborg Palace, where they live today.

If you’re not palaced out by now, we’ll hit the countryside (well, it was some time ago at least) and arrive at Rosenborg Palace, a previous summer residence and today, home to the Treasury. From fabulous crown jewels to cargo bikes, as we end the Royal Copenhagen Private Bike Tour, we’ll have biked in the wheel tracks of the Danish Royals of past and present.

Please note: We will be biking mostly on flat surfaces. We recommend bringing a bottle of water with you on the tour.

 Due to Her Majesty the Queen’s official functions, Christiansborg Palace and Rosenborg Palace may be partially or fully closed.

 Guests are not able to bring bags into the castle, all bags need to be stored in the lockers found at Rosenborg Castle.

 Vor Frue Kirke (Copenhagen Cathedral) may sometimes be closed due to religious ceremonies.
