Freetown Christiania
Freetown Christiania is a partially self-governing neighbourhood
in the borough of Christianshavn, Copenhagen, dominated largely by
a freethinking 'hippy' culture. Local rules forbid stealing,
violence, guns, knives, bulletproof vests and hard drugs. Aside
from its cannabis smoking affinity, Christiana is also well known
for its inhabitants' love of meditation and yoga, and abroad it is
celebrated as a showcase of the progressive and liberated Danish
lifestyle. Christiania is considered a
Losers' Paradisefor the creative and recreational values
widely practised in the area. However, visitors can enjoy the
neighbourhood's peaceful green environment and its magical
combination of village and metropolitan life.
