Christiania

Christiania makes up almost half of Copenhagen's preserved ramparts, giving it a unique location on Christianshavn. Christiania, or 'The City' as it is also known, was established in 1971 and is always worth a visit when the sun shines. Experience the alternative way of life, the fun houses, the many sculptures, small shops, or visit one of Christiania's many cafés and eateries. There are often concerts and other cultural events, and if you've brought your skateboard, don't miss the city's very own skate park. At Christmas time, there is always a very atmospheric Christmas market in the 'Grey Hall', with fun features and lots of stalls and small food outlets.
