Your secret place in Copenhagen is...

Freetown Christiania

In case you're not familiar with Christiania, it's
essentially an alternative autonomous car-free hippie district in Copenhagen.

Located in the Christianshavn neighborhood, Christiania is visited by many tourists, so it's not exactly a hidden gem of Copenhagen. However, I wanted to include it on this list because it is a unique and controversial place
. You either love it or hate it. I belong to the first category.

In addition, the area contains many pleasant secret places that most tourists do not include in their agendas.

Christiania was created in the 1970s when a group of free-spirited people began taking over abandoned military barracks with the goal of creating an autonomous society. Today, it is a community with approximately 1,000 residents and has its own rules and regulations.

Don't miss this charming cafe...

Café Månefiskeren

Housed in a former heating plant and run by
local volunteers, it is a place with a varied history that exudes the essence of rebellious, multicultural Christiania.

The large outdoor area is a great place to mingle with locals and visitors while eating brunch or just stopping by for a cup of coffee and homemade cake. All dishes on the short menu
use ingredients that are sustainably sourced with an eco-friendly approach, and the café is alcohol-free.

Outdoor seating is available year-round and, in summer, live music and concerts add to the atmosphere.
