A Sustainable City
With the influx of people that fashion week brings to Copenhagen, understanding how best to navigate and make the most of one of Europe’s most sustainable cities is crucial in keeping the weeks environmental impact to its lowest. The Brøchner Hotels are the world’s first carbon neutral hotel group, with beautiful venues such as Hotel SP34 and Hotel Astoria focusing on organic food and energy saving initiatives.
Once in the city, making the most of cycle lanes wider than pavements is an excellent way to navigate around between fashion shows, avoiding unnecessary high polluting taxis. Though initially this sounds less than chic, many of the bike rental shops offer beautiful bicycles in the classic Danish style, in a range of high-fashion colours from duck egg blue to a royal red. If you want something a little less formal, city bike company Donkey Bikes offer a pick up, drop off app service, allowing daily rental of their neon-orange bikes. So however best suits, make like a local and navigate the bike lanes of the capital – just be sure to read up on the rules and procedures before heading out!
