Brief Itinerary

Hotel drop & bike prep — Hotel SP34

Drop bags, confirm secure bike storage and ask reception for local quiet-routes and a waterproof map or route note for the Havne (harbour) Circle.

30m

Pick up dockless bikes (Donkey Republic)

Grab your bikes from Donkey Republic app / pickup point and fit lights. Quick app check, test gears/brakes next to the hotel before heading out.

20m

Breakfast & bakery hop — Torvehallerne KBH

Warm up with coffee and pick a flaky item (smørrebrød or cinnamon swirl). Torvehallerne has several top bakeries and indoor seating to escape the wind.

40m

Harbour Circle ride: Nyhavn → Cirkelbroen → Christianshavn (easy-paced)

Cycle the quieter lanes by Nyhavn, cross the elegant Circle Bridge (Cirkelbroen) and loop through Christianshavn — plenty of photo stops and bike lanes throughout.

1h 20m

Lunch & explore — Reffen (Refshaleøen)

Ride the harbour promenade out to Refshaleøen for street food stalls and a relaxed lunch; November means fewer crowds and most covered stalls remain open.
