Some reviewers here seem to be writing about the free-town "Christiania" in this section, but Christiania must be considered a separate area, it is only a small part of Christianshavn, and it is not identical to Christianshavn.

A wonderful part of Copenhagen - especially on a sunny day. Take a troll along the canal on your way to the Opera or Christiania. Maybe have a bite to eat at the smoerrebroed restaurant on the corner of Strandgade and Torvegade, Christian IV, named after the king who founded Christianshavn. More

It feels nice to walk along the canal in Christiania, is a very quite place and it feels you are far away from the noise of the city life. Definitely a place to go when you want to have some quite time. More

Worth exploring and if you're en route to Christiania you will pass through this part of town. The area by the water is very scenic and lovely. More
