GOOD TO KNOW

Crawl it like a local.

Go early

The good buns sell out — the famous places are often down to the plain ones by early afternoon. Start when the shutters come up.

The benchmark is the cardamom bun

Every bakery on these routes is judged on its kardemommesnurre. Try one at the first stop and you'll have a scale for the rest of the day.

Route two could be a bike day

Fourteen kilometres with a harbour crossing and a Refshaleøen finale — lovely by bike, a long one on foot. Route 1 is the easy walker.
