Six days by bicycle and train, including a day in Sweden. The same route from a hostel in Norrebro, with a city card instead of individual entries.
More than half of Copenhagen commutes by bicycle and the infrastructure assumes it. The bike is issued on day one for that reason.

The harbour was industrial and filthy until the 1990s and is now clean enough for public swimming baths in the middle of the city.

Five Viking ships were sunk deliberately to block the fjord in about 1070 and raised in 1962. The museum builds working reconstructions beside them.

Louisiana is built into a garden above the Sound and is one of the best-sited museums anywhere. Kronborg is twenty minutes further and is Elsinore.

The Oresund crossing is half tunnel and half bridge, meeting on an artificial island because a full bridge would have obstructed the airport.

Hostel
Days 1–5
5 breakfasts and 1 dinner across 6 days, at camp. It opens with dinner on day 1 and closes with breakfast on day 6.
6 meal services named in the itinerary. Vegetarian and vegan covered; Jain, gluten-free and allergies on notice at booking
Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. No hesitation recommending them.
Copenhagen & Zealand done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Recommended.
Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
