Christiania is best by the lakes where the small, DIY houses line the shoreside. The hash market is what it is - once a bastion for leftist ideals, today the sale of drugs is in the hands of a mob of chavs. All the more reasons for government-regulated Cannabis sale but this is an argument for another day. Check out Månefiskeren ( The Moon Fisher) cafe and Nemoland - where you'll find many live bands playing on summer evenings.

Christiania is a little amsterdam in Copenaghen. It's full of graffiti and there are many drug dealers. You can smoke only there..and it's particular, and it is a must see

One of the highlights of my trip to Copenhagen, I was completely overawed by the town of Christiana. We visited at Xmas time and the indoor market, although expensive (hey, this is Denmark!) was wonderful. When we left, the queue to get inside snaked around the block. The sights and smells of Christiania are like nothing I've seen before - you must visit the little antique shop which sold various oddities which would never be on sale in England! I had read that people had felt intimidated and I can see why but if you can look past the graffitied corrugated iron fencing which surrounds the community and be brave enough to venture in, it is a really very interesting place. I'm not so sure I would like to visit at night time though...
