The Christianities live in specially designed houses, in others word they built their own houses with their creativity, colours and weird crazy shapes. There are a variety of interesting stores in Christiania built from scratch with recycled materials selling food, hippy clothes, manufacture bicycles, make small furnaces, souvenirs etc. Dogs are everywhere amongst these colourful houses and cottages. There are lots of bushes and a river in this area. Soft drugs are allowed in Christiania and sold openly (mostly marijuana and Hash). No cars, no hard-drugs, no violence and no photograph (in Pusher Street of Christiania coz they don’t want to feel like animals in the zoo. We took some photos for buildings and the surrounding areas, not of disrespect but in a way to support what they stand for, the ‘freedom’). We were there for around half an hours, walked through to see how the buildings look like, how people living with frugal resources then left. We admitted that Christiania is an odd place for sure but we didn’t feel unsafe when we walked around. Visit to Christiania is definitely a unique and different experience for us. Nearby, in Christianshavn we climbed up a gold spiral tower (at a church called The Church of Our Saviour) to view the beautiful scenery of Copenhagen.
