An old hippie town, autonomous. Mostly known for selling weed in public. Go for a walk, have lunch there and maybe a .... beer, or whatever you bump into:) No phographs and never run in there (running is a sign that the police is near)

Christiania is a unique area near the beautiful canals of Christianshavn that was taken over by hippies and artists in the 70's and still stands today.

Probably the most recommended place to visit when in Copenhagen. It's is an old military base that was squatted by hippies back in 1971. It is a place with a lot of culture, nice restaurants, cafees, theaters and venues, but is most known for it's open hash market. Weed can be bought on the street from permanent stands, and it has been like that since the beginning. At first the hippies ran it themselves, insisting that weed was not a hard drug (also why no hard drugs are sold on Christiania), but now it has been taken over by gangs (skinheads), which makes the vibe a little less welcomming. Overall the area is still amazing and if the bald blokes makes you uneasy, move away from "green light district" as they call it, and venture into the deeper parts of the area, where you will see a ton of home made houses that looks like they've been taken out of an old fairytail.
