Copenhagen highlights
Copenhill
Spectacular and innovative, Copenhill is an artificial ski slope and recreational hiking area, built on top of a new waste management centre in the centre of the city. We have a guided tour of the centre to learn about the project in general, the architecture, challenges and thoughts behind the project before spending free time to enjoy the activities.
Sustainability by bike
On this amazing bike tour, you will get inspiration on how to lower your climate footprint while experiencing green transformation in the city of the future. On this 3-hour bike ride we learn about what contributes most to CO2 emissions - food waste, the fashion industry, and the cities. The tour focuses on the connection between the individual’s climate footprint and how an entire city lowers its climate footprint. We cycle through Vesterbro, Islands brygge, past Christiania, out on Refshaleøen and back to Nørreport station.
Refshaleøen
The former industrial district has become one of Copenhagen’s hippest areas and a hub for creativity, alternative urban development, festivals and great foods of very different kinds. All of the stalls in the organic street food market have to follow the sustainable dogmas "Reduce and Reuse":
Øens Have Urban farm
Øens Have is located in the former industrial district of Refshaleøen and is a green, vibrant area of urban farming in the centre of the city, where local produce based on a diverse variety of plants, herbs and vegetables is grown. The motivating force behind Øens Have is to create urban farming that inspire and encourage more green and sustainable living and a place that increases the synergy between nature, agriculture, and the city.
