Christiania
A community born in 1971 in a former barracks: self-built houses, workshops, a lake and car-free paths.
Independent, unofficial guide, not affiliated with the places featured.
Christiania is first and foremost a place where people live. In 2023 the community decided to end the open hash trade, and residents began removing the paving from Pusher Street on 6 April 2024. Buying cannabis remains illegal, VisitCopenhagen points out. Residents offer guided tours: Visit Christiania leaves from the lawn in front of Grå Hal, Rundvisergruppen from the Prinsessegade entrance. Expect to pay 100 DKK and check times with them.
