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.
