Proposed start

Town Hall (Radhuspldsen)
Like all urbirun routes, you can start wherever you like. Pay attention to the direction of the tour.

Ah Copenhagen ... Modern, historical, elected "Green Capital", ecological, flat and crisscrossed by canals, the Danish capital has everything to seduce the runner. Throughout this course, you will discover the old town and the Christiania neighborhood, its canals and its dutch style houses. You'll run along the waterfront to the iconic Little Mermaid, and learn how she lost her legs. You will run the citadel, historic neighborhoods, and discover castles, statues with original stories. Impossible not to be charmed by the serenity that can be felt in this unique city.

*Alternative route : you can shorten the route by 2.5km, not passing through Christiania neighborhood.

NB : if you are unsure, please feel free to check your position on the map and the track

Cool souvenir from our Copenhagen trip... What will be next destination? Who knows...  
And we want to mention urbirun who made us visit the city in a very original and fun way, even with some jokes on the way.
