Copenhagen attractions reward climate-friendly actions.
All our choices have an 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.
Get started, be inspired and take action! Find all the great CopenPay offerings on the map below.

The biggest climate impact from tourism comes from transportation. We encourage travellers to take the train to Copenhagen, fly less and stay longer. Research shows that seven out of ten travellers aim to leave a destination better than they found it.
All over Copenhagen, you can 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.
An invitation to participate, have fun, and help put focus on conscious tourism.
The purpose of CopenPay is to inspire and nudge travellers and raise awareness about responsible travel choices. We want to reward visitors for making more responsible 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:
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:
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.
We want to encourage travellers to stay longer but travel less, thereby minimising their CO₂ footprint. As a bonus, by staying longer, travellers get to know and engage more with our destination.
