The New York Times, Ceylan Yeğinsu reports that the Danish capital is offering free museum tours, art workshops and more to visitors who take part in climate-friendly initiatives

Amidst growing restrictions and fees in overwhelmed European destinations like Venice, Barcelona, and Majorca, Copenhagen is taking a different approach to tourism. Starting July 15, visitors who engage in climate-friendly activities such as cycling and participating in clean-up efforts will be rewarded with free museum tours, kayak rentals, and meals. This initiative, called CopenPay, aims to turn tourism into a positive force for environmental change, encouraging sustainable behaviors to benefit both visitors and locals alike.
