Discover diverse and colourful Nørrebro – Copenhagen's old working-class district and today’s heart of alternative culture. Learn about its eventful history, its politically engaged and multicultural inhabitants, and why it was recently deemed one the “coolest neighbourhoods in the world”.
This 3 hour bike tour will take you through one of Copenhagen’s liveliest districts. Nørrebro is home to people from all over the world, and is brimming with art, food, youth culture, and political history.
Amongst many other things, you’ll learn why one particular housing ground has remained empty, visit a time traveler’s grave, hear the backstory of a heart made of guns, and cycle down the most frequented biking lane in town. If you want to get into the quirky part of Copenhagen, this tour is a good start.

5.00We hired two bikes here for 24 hours 9after reading some very poor reviews about other bike hire places in Copenhagen). We are so glad we did ..the booking process was very smooth (despite new ipads ) and the staff very welcoming and all seem to be bi or tri lingual and we had a good safety talk abot cycling rules in Denmark before we set out. Locks are integral plus there's an extra one and don't forget to add a basket if you have stuff to carry, as it's an extra charge. The bikes suited us perfectly, were well maintained and colourful. Returning them to the store was very easy even though it was after hours, you just lock your bikes up and drop keys into post box -would definitely recommend Tropical Bikes for bike hire or tours.
We saw and learned about the new and quickly developing Copenhagen off the beaten track .Exciting !

5.00Seven of us in a private group had the pleasure to be guided by Jöörn .We went off the beaten track and saw the unknown to us part of Copenhagen during 3 hours in the morning . Much of street-life ,social development areas ,reforming areas from shipyards to art centres ,architecture etc . Jöörn knew his history and communicated in a nice manner
