This summer Copenhagen is rewarding visitors who support sustainable tourism with a wide range of free perks. Travelers can earn rewards at Copenhagen attractions ranging from a free lunch or a cup of coffee to a kayak tour or even a free entrance to a museum. All you need to do is, for instance, bike instead of drive, take the train ,help maintain the city, work in an urban garden, or pledge to sustainable behavior. It’s a win-win for tourists and the city.
For example, get a free cup of coffee when you purchase an entry ticket to the Museum of Copenhagen, if you arrive on foot, by bike or metro. Or, get a free vegetarian lunch by volunteering in the urban garden Øens Have. Help out in the urban garden at Northern Europe’s largest urban organic garden and enjoy a delicious meal.
Other freebees include a free drink at one of Copenhagen’s best rooftop bars. Zoku, a new type of business hotel in Ørestad, is supporting those who travel by bike or public transport with a free Nørrebro Bryghus beer. Their rooftop and greenhouse is a plant lover’s paradise. Just head up to the 5th floor whenever you like and show the team a picture of your bike or public transport card. They’ll be happy to get you settled in with your eco-friendly brew.

Everyone is complaining about over-tourism at their favorite destinations, but seem to overlook that they are themselves part of the problem. Not to mention that many travel bloggers have exacerbated the whole hype by posting about the few hidden gems that were still off the beaten path. Well, they’re not anymore. Thank you.
