    Choosing Greener Transport

    • For tourists and travelers, there are better ways to travel that benefit both themselves and the environment.
    • Walking is the greenest way to travel, but it's slower; it's also a rewarding way to see a city, but comfortable shoes are a must.

    Cycling as an Alternative

    • Many hotels and hostels offer bicycles for guests.
    • Some hotels provide electric bikes that assist with hills and longer journeys.
    • Bike stations are available in some cities, where you can pick up a bike and return it after 2 hours, at a relatively low cost.

    Public Transport

    • Taking public transport in a city is a good option.
    • Most cities offer clear information and detailed maps.
    • Visiting the city website before traveling can save time and provide detailed information.

    Traveling between Cities

    • Using buses, trains, or ferries for traveling between cities is a greener option compared to cars and airplanes.

    Renting Electric or Hybrid Cars

    • When traveling by car is necessary, consider renting a hybrid or electric car.
    • Many car rental companies offer this option, so it's always a good idea to ask.
    • Look for hotels with free electric vehicle charging stations, which are becoming increasingly common.
