Our band was visiting from the UK to play a show in Copenhagen, and we had a day free before soundcheck so wandered up here. As you can imagine a band coming through an airport we got a LOT of attention from security, and had EVERYWHERE swabbed for drugs, so we weren't here to indulge before our flight back! It was fun to be in a totally different world to the sensible Copenhagen outside. We felt pretty safe. Cool art. Had a kind of 'all year round festival' vibe. Glad to have seen it.

A neighborhood filled with crack sellers and buyers. If you want to visit it, come during day time since in the night it could be unsafe. Though, there are some shops selling some nice art stuff.

Felt like we should visit the free neighbourhood of Christiania whilst in Copenhagen. Didn’t feel at all threatened like some of the other reviewers. There are a couple of cafes and an indoor market which we hadn’t expected. If you are short of time I wouldn’t rush to go!

We came here on a Danish friend’s recommendation and absolutely loved it. Yes pusher street is grim and I’d say avoid that end totally if you’re not there to get stoned. But the rest is like an alternative world - we walked the loop of Christiania - over the bridge, round the other island which was stunning and had lots of gorgeous unique homes and back round past the famous restaurant Nomo. Make sure you stop off at the lovely shop The Essence if you can as the owner makes fab unique clothing. Honestly loved every second in Christiania - we spent hours there and felt completely safe as 2 young females. You need to go with an open mind and know where you can and can’t take photos!!

Wandered around Christania, it is filled with cool street art. In May 2024 there was a lot of construction going on. You can visit some gallerys, shops and cafes, the gallerys we found were free! Fun place to check out, but other than that, not much to do.

All recommendations if you want to relax, enjoy and eat good food. Restaurant Balkan kitchen serves real, traditional Balkan food made by a lady from Serbia. Be sure to visit it

Quirky little place to wander around, it’s very different to the rest of Copenhagen but I quite enjoyed the contrast. However my husband and daughter weren’t so sure! The opening sign we stumbled across regarding Pusher street being closed due to drugs and criminal activity put them on edge the whole time we were there, but I never once felt threatened or in danger! It’s definitely something different to see, but not loads to do. I enjoyed the vibe of the place overall.

It will not be what you are expecting. It is no longer like its history. Now more of a tourist trap than alternative lifestyle. Some stalls, some shops, some workshops (probably not allowed in), cafes and lots of graffiti. I think they need a new cause to fight for.

Freetown Christiana, located just outside Copenhagen, is a community that operates independently. This place stands out for its own rules and hippie vibe. Felt safe at all times while exploring this interesting neighborhood. Its vibrant colors, street art, great sense of freedom and creativity make it unique. The people of the community are nice and friendly as long as you are respectful and follow their rules. It was an enjoyable experience and definitely worth the visit!

Free in It has lost its edgy days of drug dealers etc Now a place to smoke weed and a few bars Close to centre Well worth a look Free parking along main road nearby
