Embracing the Alternative Lifestyle of Christiania in Copenhagen
‘You are now entering the EU’ warns a large sign above Christiania’s exit, playing on the enclave’s separatist ideals. Occupying a large area south of Copenhagen’s river, this partially self-governing community and has spent over thirty years establishing its alternative approach, and those who prefer free love to free trade will be fascinated. A walk around the dusty laneways of this communal neighbourhood reveals stalls, murals, sculptures, shrines, haphazard exhibitions, and a fair number of slumbering Danes, but whether it’s hope, cynicism or mere bafflement, Christiania is sure to inspire a reaction.
