Copenhagen attractions reward climate-friendly actions.
All our choices have an environmental impact, so why not make conscious decisions that benefit us all and be rewarded for them?
Get rewarded by Copenhagen attractions such as a free lunch, a free boat tour, free bike rental, excursions or museum discounts. All you need to do is, for instance, bike instead of drive, help maintain the city, work in an urban garden, or take the train to Copenhagen instead of flying, etc.
Find inspiration in all the Actions and Rewards by browsing or filtering, and get a full overview in map or list form.
When you choose to take the train to Copenhagen, we reward you with a range of fantastic experiences. Prove you have taken the train and get a free bag of food, free bike time, a free guided tour, a yoga session, etc.

One of tourism's biggest environmental impacts is the actual travelling. Flying less and staying longer at any given destination, is a step in the right direction.
Book four days or more at the hotels listed below, and you’ll be rewarded with a free bike rental, a vegetarian lunch, or other perks.
All over Copenhagen, you find rental bikes to ride the city emission-free like a local. Copenhagen tap water is clean and tasty, and compared to bottled water, it leaves a significantly smaller mark on the environment. Helping to clean up the harbour improves livability for thousands as you maintain it as a valuable recreational urban area.
The purpose of CopenPay is to inspire and nudge travellers and raise awareness about the choices we make when we travel. We want to reward visitors for making more conscious choices when travelling, such as cycling, using public transportation, eating plant-based food etc. The new thing this year is that we also reward people arriving by train to the destination and people who are staying longer (4 days or more).
In 2025, CopenPay runs 9 weeks from June 17 to August 17.
Participation in CopenPay is easy. Visit www.copenpay.com to see actions and rewards available at each participating attraction.
This year you can join and get rewarded in three ways:
*SAF is a liquid fuel currently used in commercial aviation, which reduces CO2 emissions by up to 80%.
In general, CopenPay operates on trust, in line with Denmark’s high-trust culture (as noted by PEW Research). For some of the rewards you might need to show proof of participation. Full details are listed on www.copenpay.com. Examples include train tickets, photos of biking, or confirmation of participation in a cleanup.
Examples of rewards:
The CopenPay Media Kit includes press releases, photos, videos, and quotes. www.wonderfulcopenhagen.com/press
We want to encourage travellers to stay longer but travel less. As a bonus, by staying longer, travellers get to know and engage more with our destination.
CopenPay rewards travellers who arrive by train because trains in general have significantly lower CO₂ emissions compared to airplanes.
CopenPay also rewards people who arrive in an electric car with discounted parking.
Wonderful Copenhagen, the official tourism organization in Copenhagen, organizes CopenPay in collaboration with a wide range of local partners, including attractions and the Municipality of Copenhagen.
