Ever forward-thinking, Amsterdam prides itself on being of the greenest cities in Europe. Living sustainably is a way of life here: locals prefer cycling over any other mode of transport, and shoppers are turning to more ethical, planet-friendly ways of consuming. For visitors, choosing greener alternatives gives a new perspective on the city. Hop on a rubbish-fishing tour with Plastic Whale, for example, and you could explore the canals while helping to keep the waters plastic-free. Why stop there? You could easily spend a whole weekend getaway in Amsterdam enjoying a more sustainable lifestyle. From carbon-neutral hotels to plant-to-plate restaurants and energy-sharing museums, here’s how to do it.
