This is such a unique and controversial place. 

Christiania was created back in the 70s when a group of free-spirited people started taking over abandoned military barracks with the aim to create a self-governing car-free society. 

Around 1000 citizens live here and it has its own rules and regulations.

Besides that, Christiania is known for selling Cannabis openly on the main street of Christiania known as Pusher Street. Contrary to what many people think, this does not make Christiania a dangerous place to visit. Quite the opposite actually. People go there to relax and have a good time - you can buy handmade art, get something to eat and listen to music. You just need to follow the few rules – for example don’t take photos on Pusher Street and don’t run in Christiania (it can create panic). 

Please remember that weed is NOT legal in Denmark. It’s not legal to sell or smoke and from time to time, pusher street will get raided by the Police.
