Short answer

Since 2014 Copenhagen has built a row of new bridges for cyclists. Cykelslangen (2014) links Vesterbro with Amager, Trangravsbroen and Proviantbroen opened the same year, and Cirkelbroen followed in 2015. Inderhavnsbroen (2016) links Nyhavn and Indre By with Christianshavn, and Lille Langebro opened in 2019. A cycle and pedestrian bridge at Artillerivej opened in 2025.

Why

  1. The new bridges give cyclists short cuts across the harbour.
  2. Inderhavnsbroen is part of the Harbour Circle, opened in 2016.
  3. Cykelslangen links Vesterbro with Amager.

Details

Dronning Louises Bro is not bike-only, but with over 40,000 cyclists on weekdays it is the most cycled stretch in Denmark.

Tip

Ride the Harbour Circle, a route for cycling and walking along the harbour, to see the harbour bridges from the saddle.

What may differ

Bridges that open for ships stop bike traffic while they are open.

Common misconception

Many think you can only cross the harbour by bike on the old road bridges.

What actually happens

Since 2014 new bridges for cyclists such as Cykelslangen, Cirkelbroen and Inderhavnsbroen have opened.
