Are you a fan of the Nordic Noir atmosphere of melancholic and bleak landscapes, dark light and industrial buildings? Uncover the hidden parts of Copenhagen on two wheels with an urban planning professional.

It’s the urban geographer Francois ( himself an expat) who will take you to explore old industrial and abandoned buildings,tunnels, areas with masterpieces of graffiti, and other hidden parts of the city for a different vision of the Danish capital.  Francois has significant experience setting up and monitoring operations in planning, construction and renovation in Denmark and in France. and he spends his free time exploring Copenhagen and its surroundings in order to discover the city’s most unusual corners.

Be fit for it though – its a 20 kilometre ride – where you’ll also wind through the back trails of a more peaceful Christiania, and see some of the city’s most stunning street art.
