Fans can do this at the approx. 1.5-kilometer closed route through inner Copenhagen, where the teams pay tribute before riding onto the stage in Tivoli. This will be the start of the enormous celebration that will unfold in Copenhagen and all of Denmark. TV2 will be broadcasting the show to the whole world.
