Bavaria road trip<\/a> to explore more of the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\nResponsible Travel Tips<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Here are a few ways to travel sustainably or with a lower impact while in Munich:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stay in a hotel that uses renewable energy:<\/strong> Look for a hotel that uses renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, to reduce its carbon footprint. This is currently difficult to find in Munich, but hopefully, there will be more options in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMinimise food waste:<\/strong> When eating out or shopping for a picnic, try only to buy what you need and can consume. This can help reduce waste and the associated greenhouse gas emissions from food production and transportation. Trying all the wonderful Bavarian food can be tempting, but it helps to keep food waste in mind when ordering. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTake public transportation: <\/strong>Munich has an extensive network of public transportation options, including the metro, bus and tram. These options are often more sustainable than driving or taking a taxi because they use less energy and produce fewer emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRent a bike:<\/strong> Munich is a bike-friendly city with dedicated bike lanes and plenty of places to rent a bike. Your hotel might have a bike available for free. Biking is a great way to get around the city, and it’s also good for the environment. If the weather permits, consider travelling by bike. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSupport local businesses:<\/strong> Choose to eat at locally-owned restaurants and shop at local stores to support the local economy and reduce the environmental impact of transportation. This is fairly easy to do in Munich as they have so many incredible independent restaurants and shops. Try some places that I’ve mentioned here. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSupport the arts:<\/strong> If you’re looking for indoor activities to stay warm in Munich’s harsh winter, go to a music concert, see an art exhibition or see a show at a small theatre. <\/p>\n\n\n\nUse local guides:<\/strong> Consider using local guides and tour companies for tours and activities. Local guides often have in-depth knowledge of the area and can provide unique insights into the culture and history of the region. Supporting local guides supports the local economy. I’ve mentioned several excellent tours here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n
