Sustainable Tourism - Tips for visitors
Welcome to Vitoria-Gasteiz, European Green Capital 2012 and sustainable tourist destination. Do you want to be a responsible visitor? We know the answer to that: Yes! And we would like to make a few suggestions:
Before your visit
- Search for information about us: history, traditions, culture, nature, heritage, customs, gastronomy, etc. to make the most of your trip!
- Prioritize the most sustainable means of transport to come.
- Whenever you can, choose tour operators, transport companies, accommodation, guides, etc. that are committed to the environment.
During your visit
- Use local resources, that way you contribute to the continuity of small businesses such as shops, restaurants, etc., and, of course, local guides, for the best experience possible.
- Have a walk around the city, take a bicycle or use our public transport network. You will reduce the carbon footprint of your trip, and gain comfort and peace of mind!.
- In Vitoria-Gasteiz, and anywhere else on the planet, think when using natural resources such as water and electricity.
- While you are here, this will be your home. Try to reduce waste to a minimum, and, when you have to throw something away, use the resources that the city provides for recycling.
- Just 2 km from the centre there are ecosystems that need a special attitude of respect toward plant and animal life. Make sure the only traces you leave are your footprints.
After your visit
