Green Rewards: Eco-Friendly Tourists Get Perks in Copenhagen!
Encourages Ecofriendly Visitors in Copenhagen: Free Bicycle Usage and Discounts Offered - Encourages Eco-Friendly Travelers in Copenhagen with Complimentary Bicycling and Savings
Get ready to pedal your way through Copenhagen, since June 17, the city is rolling out a new program for eco-conscious tourists! Over 90 local institutions, including museums, ski slopes, and even urban gardens, are jumping on board this sustainable adventure.
Remember the successful trial in 2024, where tourists could boat for free and collect litter, sans the litter? Well, that evidently hit a chord, as 75,000 tourists hopped aboard the eco-friendly train that year. Now, it's time to gears up, Polar Express-style, and embark on a new journey in the Danish capital.
Sustainable choices like arriving by train, cycling, or driving electric cars can earn you some sweet rewards. Think discounts at museums, free yoga classes, and vegetarian feasts. Even the National Museum of Denmark, Kronborg Castle, and the unique CopenHill are part of the eco-bonanza! What about GoBoat rides, you ask? Participants can nab an hour of free boating while enriching the port waters by picking up litter.
This program, christened as CopenPay, aims to inspire a reduction in tourism's carbon footprint by promoting eco-friendly practices. The increased demand for bike rentals and the incentive for litter collection show that the city is transforming into a greener playground for eco-adventurers. Embrace the change, friends! Let's pedal our way to a cleaner, greener Copenhagen!
(Oh, and by the way, record-breaking bike rentals surged by 29% in 2024, and 98% of participants were all up for recommending the program!)
