Flat and small and with a comprehensive network of designated lanes, Copenhagen is a dream for cyclists, a fact not lost on city authorities who run a highly successful cycle lending scheme. For a small, refundable deposit, cycles can be borrowed from a number of prime locations across Copenhagen, ridden around and then returned for others to use. The fact that this scheme has succeeded where similar ventures in other European cities have fallen apart speaks volumes about Danish practicality.

Although Copenhagen is best seen on foot or from the seat of bicycle, if you're planning a more comprehensive exploration of the city, consider investing in a Copenhagen Card. Covering 24 to 72 hour periods, these offer unlimited public transports and free or discounted entry to dozens of attractions.
