Cycle Copenhagen to Malmo

Whether you begin your tour strolling through town to the old harbour with its Little Mermaid, taking a canal boat trip, visiting design and antique shops or enjoying a drink and dinner at Nyhavn or at the well know amusement park Tivoli, the charm of Denmark’s capital will put you in the mood for the coming days. Most places of interest are easily accessible on foot, by bus or by bike in Copenhagen and it is definitely worth staying longer in this beautiful city, either before or returning after your cycle trip. Early in the evening you will have a welcome meeting and bike handover with our representative, an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about your upcoming cycle journey and to test your bike.

This morning you will leave Copenhagen and make your way north. Today’s stage leads you along the Öresund, the strait between Zealand in Denmark and Skåne, also known as Scania, in Sweden. With the Baltic Sea in view at all times, you will soon arrive at the well-known beach of Bellevue. A quick dip in the cool water is the perfect refreshment. It is also worth taking a short detour to Dyrehavsbakken, the oldest existing amusement park in the world. Overnight Vedbæk or surrounds.

Today’s ride follows the scenic coastline, offering sweeping views over the Baltic Sea. Along the way, you might like to stop at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, one of Denmark’s most renowned galleries for modern and contemporary works. In Helsingør, take time to visit the impressive Kronborg Castle, famously known as the setting for Shakespeare’s Hamlet. A short ferry journey then takes you across the water to Helsingborg on the Swedish coast and your overnight accommodation.

Take some time to explore the lively coastal city of Helsingborg, known for its rich culture and charming old town. Today’s ride follows the beautiful Swedish coastline, passing through a string of peaceful fishing villages and seaside landscapes. From Landskrona, you might like to take a short side trip to Ven Island in the Öresund Strait. This small island is a protected nature reserve, offering stunning views and quiet country roads that are perfect for exploring by bike.

In Landskrona, be sure to visit the historic Citadel, a beautifully preserved fortress in the heart of town. Beyond its cultural attractions, Landskrona also offers inviting beaches – perfect for a refreshing swim before continuing your ride. Back on the coastal cycle path, you’ll follow the shoreline through several picturesque nature reserves, where the scenery shifts from open sea views to peaceful countryside. The final stretch of today’s ride takes you inland to the lively university town of Lund, your destination for the day.

Returning to the coast, the long sandy beaches of Lomma invite you to pause and take in the sea views before continuing your ride. A little further along, you’ll arrive in Malmö, the final stop on your tour. As Sweden’s third-largest city, Malmö is full of character and charm – don’t miss exploring its atmospheric old town and the impressive Malmöhus Castle, one of Scandinavia’s oldest Renaissance fortresses.

After breakfast, your journey ends. We are happy to book extra nights for you to further explore Malmo, or we can assist with a transfer service back to Copenhagen on request. Please ask for our rates.
