Christiania - Copenhagen - TravBuddy

Christiania is really neat. The roads are dirt and no cars are allowed inside the wall of this self-goverened community. Drugs are sold on Pusher Street so cameras are not allowed in this area. All of the buildings are spray painted. It is well worth the walk to the area. I love the sign as you leave that states "You are now entering the EU." I highly recommend a walk around and the best part is that it's free in a city as expensive as Copenhagen.

I was in Copenhagen in summer 2003.My mom,when she was young,has always listened to this "free town" situated in the middle of Copenhagen,full of hippies and good music.Mom wanted to return young for 2 hours maybe!!:P
When we were there we decided to go.Some people said to us that we have to stop at the entrance(don't know why,it so so amazing,and no dangerous at all!)but for me is worth to go into!!
Well,beyond hashish and marjuana stalls,the main thing that hit our attention is the smell(of nargilè,of different flavours).Another wonderful thing is the enormous quantity of green(plants,grass)spaced out by water canals.This occupied place exists since 'bout 37 years,official sing is composed by 3 red circles,flushed in the whole area.People are so friendly,many blonde children and many dogs.There are also a bakery(yumm..i tried a sort of sandwich,just cooked ,with sesam),equo solidal and bio shops,and the famous bicycle factory.Almost every night they do some concert,of all kinds of music(unfotuntely i was there in afternoon!).Another quality of this place is the absolute assence of car,smog,there is also a little lake...a peaceful place in a big town!
I've just read in news paper that the new governator want to close this experience!!argh!!(oh well..probably is changed,i know that now is more controlled,but a friend of mine said that also now is magic!)
