Christiania Denmark

Contrary to what many folks would have you believe. Copenhagen is not like its merry neighbor, Amsterdam, to the south. Meaning, marijuana use and sale is not permitted. There is, however, a small self-governing community affectionately called Christiania that was founded by hippies in the 1970’s where such behavior is accepted. There has been an ongoing battle between city officials regarding Christiania. The debate between allowing Christiania to exist or to reclaim the land has been ongoing. The area known as Christiania is quite small, only 800 yards. Here you’ll find small vendors selling marijuana and hash along side the community’s walkways. Pre-rolled joints are also available for purchase. There are a number of establishments where locals and tourist gather to smoke marijuana and enjoy a beverage. Christiania does have a four star restaurant called Spiseloppen that draws folks from all over Copenhagen.
