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?
Explore the wonders of Copenhagen, find out where and how you can contribute, and collect a wide range of rewards.
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.
Find the attractions and see how they reward your actions in the map above.
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.

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.
If you have questions about rewards and actions, you should contact the individual partner directly by finding their contact information on the map of attractions.
Participation is simple. Tourists and residents can redeem rewards by showing proof of green actions. The individual attractions validate your action, and mainly do so by a principle of trust.
Actions include cycling, participating in cleanup efforts, volunteering at urban farms, and more. Click the map on this site to find all participating attractions and which actions they reward. Some attractions have limited availability, so remember to check if you have to book in advance.
Participants can show proof, such as train tickets or photos of themselves biking or participating in cleanup efforts, but generally, CopenPay is built on trust, just as Danish society is the most trusting in the world, according to PEW Research.
According to the Global Destination Sustainability Index, Copenhagen is ranked the third most sustainable destination in the world. The list of the most sustainable destinations in the world can be found here: https://www.gds.earth/index/top-40-cities/

Yes, the CopenPay program is an initiative to move towards more sustainable tourism. Both visitors and locals are welcome to contribute to the movement.
The purpose of CopenPay is to encourage sustainable behaviour and enrich the cultural experience of visitors and residents in Copenhagen by transforming green actions into currency for cultural experiences.
The campaign about CopenPay only runs in Copenhagen and is not intended to increase tourism.
CopenPay encourages the use of bicycles, public transportation, and participation in environmental activities, which collectively reduce the city’s carbon emissions by promoting greener modes of transportation and waste reduction.
However, the environmental burden of transportation to and from Copenhagen is much greater than that of local transportation. Consequently, CopenPay is marketed only in Copenhagen to encourage both visitors and locals to make more sustainable choices regarding how long they stay at the destination and by which means they travel.
CopenPay is a pilot project launched on July 15 and runs until August 11. Based on the evaluation, we hope to reintroduce CopenPay as a year-round, green payment experience within the economy and broaden the concept to other parts of Denmark and the rest of the world.
