A combination that could well reinforce the already growing appeal of rail travel for Nordic city breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An XXL version for 2025<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Launched as a pilot in the summer of 2024, CopenPay is three times larger and twice as long: nine weeks (from June 17 to August 17, 2025) versus four previously, and 90 partners instead of 24, from the National Museum to the urban summit of CopenHill. The goal? &#8220;To change the way we travel rather than attracting ever more people,&#8221; explains S\u00f8ren Tegen Pedersen, director of Wonderful Copenhagen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The principle remains simple: green actions serve as currency. Arriving by train, cycling instead of taking a taxi, participating in a waste collection or choosing a 100% plant-based menu\u2026 and the tourist \u201ccashes in\u201d benefits. The notable new feature for 2025 is the specific reward for those who cross the border on rails: ticket registration at the central station and, hey presto, a \u201cgoodie bag\u201d of surplus food or a bicycle pass as a reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<DIV ALIGN=\"CENTER\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Explore Copenhagen sustainably with CopenPay!\ud83c\udf31 <br><br>From July 15 to August 11, tourists earn free lunches, coffee, kayak tours, or museum entries by making green choices.

Travellers can present their train ticket or a photo of their bike ride, if necessary; most of the time, a simple declaration is sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aside from the train, some of the most popular activities last year included cleaning the harbor by kayak, then exchanging the collected waste for homemade ice cream; or joining the \u00d8ens Have urban garden to harvest vegetables and share a &#8220;seed-to-plate&#8221; lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results of the 2024 pilot project speak for themselves: a 29% increase in bike rentals and 98% of participants willing to recommend the initiative. Enough to convince the municipality to make it a showcase for regenerative tourism on a European scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CopenPay: What do you really gain?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Free<\/strong>&nbsp;24-hour bike rental with Donkey Republic for anyone staying at least four nights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complete meal<\/strong>&nbsp;made from unsold items, offered upon arrival at the station for \u201crail only\u201d passengers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Yoga sessions<\/strong>&nbsp;in the Crowne Plaza&#8217;s green atrium.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Free guided tours<\/strong>&nbsp;of the Carlsberg Brewery, the Cisternerne Underground Museum or the Danish Architecture Center.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Free entry<\/strong>&nbsp;to Kronborg Castle after a seed collection and a mini-citizen planting on the harbor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These gifts, far from being symbolic, quickly add up to a weekend budget: a day of cycling costs 120 DKK (16 euros), a sustainable lunch around 150 DKK (20 euros) and entry to a national museum 110 DKK, or nearly \u20ac50 saved in a single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A model scrutinized closely<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/destinations-europe.com\/en\/tag\/visit-venice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-penci-link=\"internal\">Venice<\/a><\/strong>,<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/destinations-europe.com\/en\/barcelona-essential-things-to-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-penci-link=\"internal\">\u00a0Barcelona<\/a><\/strong>, \u200b\u200bAmsterdam\u2026 all are thinking about limiting the influx of tourists.
