Experience Scandinavian cycling at its best with coastal routes, royal landmarks, and cultural highlights from North Zealand to Båstad.

Explore the coastal beauty and cultural richness of North Zealand, just a half hour north of Copenhagen. From seaside towns to forested parklands and quiet countryside, this cycling-friendly region showcases Denmark’s relaxed spirit—and its love of hygge, the cozy Danish way of enjoying simple comforts. You'll also experience fika, Sweden’s cherished coffee-and-pastry tradition, as you cross the Øresund into rolling farmland and rugged coastline. Highlights include Fredensborg Palace, a deep dive into royal history at Frederiksborg Castle, and the dramatic cliffs of Hovs Hallar near Båstad. With gentle cycling, a taste of Sweden’s cool-climate wines, and a blend of Scandinavian landscapes and culture, this tour offers a refreshing and unforgettable way to experience life in northern Europe.

Trip Wows
  • Experience Scandinavia's renowned cycling-focused culture, from Denmark's iconic bike lanes to Sweden's scenic coastal trails

  • Visit Frederiksborg Castle, a striking Renaissance landmark with storied royal collections and tranquil lakeside gardens

  • Sample Sweden’s emerging cool-climate wines on a guided visit to a family-run winery on the Bjäre Peninsula

  • Savor local delicacies in Denmark and Sweden, from traditional smørrebrød to fresh seafood and pastries

The iconic 17th century Danish castle

Denmark’s Renaissance Crown Jewel

Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød is Scandinavia’s largest Renaissance residence, built by King Christian IV and set across three small lake islands. Its grand halls, ornate chapel, and elegant Baroque gardens showcase centuries of Danish royal history and artistry.


What Guests are Saying

I loved the fact that Denmark and Sweden are truly biking cultures, and the majority of the routes took place on dedicated bike lanes. I felt much safer than when I bike in the United States and have to frequently share the road with cars.

Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

  • Currency and credit cards: Both Denmark and Sweden have their own currencies; however, payment by card is preferred everywhere, so there’s no need to worry about currency exchange.
  • Weather conditions: The weather in Scandinavia during the summer can be unpredictable, often changing from fall-like conditions to summer weather within a single day. Be prepared for wind, rain, and cold, but also remember to pack your bathing clothes and summer attire. It’s advisable to bring layers, along with rain gear and a wind shell, and consider bringing gloves for the rides. Also note that summer days are long, with late sunsets and early sunrises, providing up to 17 hours of daylight.
  • Riding conditions: Cycling close to the coast at times involves strong head- and sidewinds. Some routes take you through old villages where the center of town usually involves riding on cobblestones.
  • E-Bikes: E-bike speeds vary worldwide due to local regulations, which determine how fast you can ride with assistance. See the E-bike speed chart to see the maximum speeds allowed in each region.
  • Dining: Dinners in Denmark and Sweden can sometimes take longer than you might be accustomed to but don’t let that discourage you! This allows you time to enjoy the delicious and carefully-prepared cuisine at a leisurely pace.
