Are you visiting Copenhagen for the first time? Then get ready to be surrounded by bicycles or even to get on one!
BIKING IN COPENHAGEN
Copenhagen isn't the biggest city but is best experienced by bike. The city is bike-friendly and if you are comfortable on a bike, cycling in Copenhagen is a must. This way of transportation is the fastest, easiest, and most fun as you get to see most of the city. If you are visiting Copenhagen for a short period of time there are plenty of rental options.
If you are confident you will be around a lot, then it would be a better option to rent a bike for your whole stay. Baisikeli offers bikes to rent at all different price points and is a good option when you are looking for budget bike rental in Copenhagen. Their bikes are of good quality and their staff is great. You can reach their place easily as it is right by the Dybbelsbro train station.
If you don't want to be committed to a bike rental during your whole stay, then Donkey Republic is the way to go. This is an easy-to-use app with bikes all over the cities, you can't miss their orange exterior. You just need the app to unlock the bike, the price is depending on how long you use it.
On the other hand, if you are staying in Copenhagen for a couple of months, consider getting a Swapfiets. This company allows you to rent the bike for a monthly price, which includes any repairs you may need during the period of your rental. This service, especially if you are in Copenhagen for a shorter period of time, is definitely worth the money as bike repairs can be quite expensive.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN COPENHAGEN
Not comfortable yet enough to hop on a bike and wondering how to get around Copenhagen? Public transport is the answer. Even though the city has been optimizing for bikes, it also has a good metro, train, and bus system in place. And if you're on the bike but the weather is bad, you can bring them on for free on the regional trains. If you want to take it into the metro with you, you just pay a small fee. And with a Copenhagen Card all public transport is for free.
WALKING AROUND IN COPENHAGEN
Aside from the above-mentioned options, Copenhagen isn't the biggest city and if you are here for a couple of days, could easily be done on foot. Take your rain jacket with you, as you may never know, and walk around. Look into the houses and shops, explore little streets and soak up the city.
