Pick up rubbish and receive discounts at museums and restaurants: Germany launches new tourism initiative

Berlin wants to show its best side this summer and is calling on tourists to do their bit. That, at least, is the basic idea behind the “BerlinPay” scheme, Euronews writes.

Anyone who takes part, for example by collecting rubbish or supporting social projects, receives benefits in return at museums, participating restaurants or Berlin experiences.

The concept itself is not new; the original idea comes from Copenhagen.

BerlinPay is scheduled to launch in summer 2026.
