Interesting, but certainly wouldn't bother going back. Most of the people I saw except for the group of men who were drunk, which you can find on the street corner in my neighborhood in Paris, looked like middle class to upper middle class beautiful kids who "wanna be" hippies with some old originals mixed in. I could be wrong, but... more

I fear that some people convey Christiania as a sort of quirky, art fair, renaissance fair type of a place. Take care, this place is not safe, there are drug dealers, people who are high and drunk wandering around ready to verbally accost anyone who is wide-eyed and wandering around, and I would not, under any circumstances, recommend women go... more

26th of Sep. , I was wandering around Copenhagen, one of my backpacking stops, untill I found such an amazingly special 'free town'-Christiania. I was attracted by a colourful fairy-like 'dream-house' while strolling in Pusher street. Through this fully painted house, I entered a different world of dreams, art, imagination and freedom. The day I went, everywhere was specially decorated,... more

Definitely make a detour to Christiania - was one of the highlights of the visit to Copenhagen. Go on BIKE so that you can explore the whole thing. It's kind of like a big hippie village, though certainly has been kind of developed. But cool to walk around, explore, lots of water and pastoral settings, funked out houses, dogs, kids,... more

A really special place. The houses are fantastic all different, some tree houses, little boat type houses all the types of homes you could imagine. There was an excellent christmas market selling jewellery, woolens, cards, crystals, food and loads more. I was supprised to see so many families children with grandparents, not all where residents of Christiania, just there for... more

In 1971 this area was loaned to the people as a social experiment and declaired a "free state". It was a "semi-utopian" community that was self-governing and ecology oriented. I had always heard about this contriversial community and while in Copenhagen I decided to visit Christiania, provoked mostly out of curiousity. Walking through the archway from Prinsessegade (the street entrance)... more

This is a hippy community with a street set up with booths that sell pot as well as the resin. Smoking it in public is allowed so if you have ever dreamed of sitting at a picnic table at an outdoor bar smoking a joint, this place can fulfill that. If you are an uptight, right wing type you may... more

If you are off visitng Europe, stop by beutiful Copenhagen and visit Christiana. It is an island off of copenhagen that the government was "testing." I guess the Hell's Angels take over as presiding goverment to allow the people to have their own culture. Marijuana and Hasih are prevalant everywhere and there are a few selections of Mushrooms, if that's... more

I found Christiana on the Internet and after having visited Holland so many times decided it would make a great change. Christiana - is so fantastic! The people are wonderful, the hash and bud was lovely, and the atmosphere was the best. The only downfalls were that it is expensive (everything) and that you cannot stay anywhere in Christiana -... more
