You could start by riding south along the Cykelslangen(which literally means bike snake) and getting to the other side of the harbor. From Olafur Eliasson’s Circle Bridge to the harbor along the Inderhavnsbroen (the kissing bridge), many routes promise an unforgettable adventure.
Get a dose of the culture at the Rosenborg Castle
The Rosenborg Castle was originally built to be a royal summer house and dates back to 1606. Built by the famous Scandinavian king, Christian IV, the castle is a monument filled with artworks and other treasures.

You should visit the king’s living areas and private writing cabinet. The coronation thrones at the Knight’s Hall and the amazing Venetian glass collection will give you a glimpse of the life of past Danish royalty.
Explore the unconventional structure of Cisternerne
Cisternerne is one of the most famous destinations in the city. The cistern is an extension of the Frederiksberg Museums and serves as an exhibition location. However, the cistern itself is worth seeing.

The cryptic underground cave is the only dripstone cave in the whole of Denmark, which is a major highlight that you shouldn’t miss. Although a museum now fills the cistern, it used to be a reservoir containing 16 million liters of water.
A visit to Copenhagen is incomplete without this harbor
The most iconic landmark in the Danish capital, Nyhavn, is a harbor dating back to the 17th century. It offers a fusion of historical culture and mouth-watering food.
