Simply Mental ! Great for people watching, prepare yourself for some sights ! Not sure how it is allowed to remain like this but very interesting.

this place is awesome! they are selling weed everywhere, but also antiques, such as Danish mugs, and vintage clothes and bags (I got an awesome horse hair leather purse for the equivalent of $4 Canadian!). cute handmade items, like finger puppets. we sat in an old barn converted into a bar, listening to live jazz and chatting with the owner,...

As soon as you approach Chrisiania, you will begin to feel that you are approaching another sort of place. Once inside, as some other reviewers mentioned, it's a sort of hippie haven. That much is true. Yes, there is pot and hash. Yes, that can bug some people out (and not only because they're stoned!). Admittedly, I was a bit... More

A very special ambience is found here which is appealing to many people both old and young. Just go for a walk, have a break and a beer - or enjoy one of the free concerts on Sundays!

I was told about Christiania by 2 Sweden girls I met in a bar. Their main goal seemed to be to buy drugs. But, upon visiting there is so much more to Christiania than that.

Once a Danish Military Compound and later (the 70's) an area with a high rate of heroin addiction, it has since evolved into a kind of Utopian Society that tolerates the use of marijuana and other cannabis products. Christiania is a community consisting of dwellings, shops, restaurants, bars located pretty... More

When we visited Copenhagen in April, Christiania was a priority on our list of sights. Despite knowing quite a few friends who'd already been to Copenhagen, only one had ever heard of Christiania - most looking at me quite blankly when asking if they'd been. Christiania is easy to find if you're in Christianshavn - along the same road as... More

If visiting CPH, as a 25 year ex-pat, there is no better place to remind you that you're not in Kansas anymore than theiconic village of Christiania. To imagine that an abandon area, lakefront property in the center of a major metropolitan city was allowed to be squatted for so long that not only an open cannibus market could remain,... More
