CopenPay is Copenhagen's new green initiative, which encourages tourists to use public transport or bikes instead of cars or taxis. Tourists who participate are rewarded with perks like free coffee, museum admissions, and extra ski time. The initiative aims to promote sustainable tourism by transforming green actions into currency for cultural experiences, hoping to inspire visitors to adopt eco-friendly habits even after they leave Copenhagen.
