Create an itinerary including Christiania
Breathe in some fresh air at Christiania, a car-free neighborhood of free-spirited Copenhagen. Home to about 800 permanent residents, this district covers approximately 35 hectares (84 acres) and functions as a self-governing community. Famous for its relaxed atmosphere and brightly colored houses, the area attracts nonconformists from around the world with its collective workshops and communal living. Venture farther away from the neighborhood's famous main street to discover a world of green gardens, beer halls, music venues, and gift shops. Although you cannot drive into the neighborhood itself, you can leave your car just outside it and join a guided walking tour at the main entrance.

  • This is one of my favourite places in Copenhagen. Whenever I visit this city as a tourist or in business I take a walk there. Different world, city and atmosphere. Especially during nice weather...

  • On a weekend in Copenhagen, we had to go to Christiania. Main place is cool with activity and animation but streets are more full of dealers than authentic people. I would still recommend to go there just to see if you have time.
  • Well, the less I say about this place, the better. An utterly poor place to visit and far from the true reflection of a 'free society' that I would expect. The contrast is interesting too, went down a road filled with Copenhagen's finest urban drug dealers selling unregulated rubbish, with young tourist girls who could be no older than 12 being offered drugs. To top it all off, drunk men all over the place at 1pm on a Saturday, and the rundown nature of this park meant that I high tailed it out of there very, very quickly after getting pictures. Don't bother visiting, it's just a rundown slum at this point. A shame really after all of the amazing stories that I heard about this place over the years.
