Locals' guide to Christiania in Copenhagen

Christiania was founded in 1971 when a group of hippies took over an area of abandoned military barracks and developed their own set of rules, completely independent of the Danish government. The freetown in the heart of Copenhagen has always been known for its art, free spirit, and human diversity. Read more about Christiania at http://www.visitcopenhagen.com/See-and-do/Christiania/382

Keep fighting, Christiania will survive! :)

It is not about the weed, it is about the freedom to live your life the way you want.

I'd love to go there!

@JoshTHigley agree!

[JoshTHigley]

I do not agree with them physically assaulting you. It is highly possible these people were not residents of Christiania.  It is a shame to let one incident form a negative opinion of a place.@bellaandrocky

[JoshTHigley]

I am not Danish but I know how to respect places, people, and animals! @crhistiania

[JoshTHigley]

Yes they did not take the time to read the rules. It's just like a materialistic and greedy person to assume they are exempt from the rules of Christiania which are clearly stated. @crhistiania

[JoshTHigley]

Do you live there? You were a guest in Christiania. Cell phones and camera's are not permitted in Christiania. It's just like a materialistic and greedy person to assume they are exempt from the rules of Christiania which are clearly stated. Consumerist people driven by money are a threat to Christiania @bellaandrocky

[JoshTHigley]

Yes I agree!!@leopold135
