Freetown Christiania Photo Tour

When asked to describe a truly authentic Copenhagen experience, most locals will mention Freetown Christiania. Located in the Christianshavn district, this unique area was founded in the early 1970s when a group of free-spirited individuals occupied an abandoned military base. Since then, it has grown into a self-governed community known for its creativity, independence, and alternative way of life. Christiania is filled with colorful murals, handmade houses, and an artistic atmosphere that reflects the free-thinking nature of its residents. It remains one of Copenhagen’s most fascinating and culturally rich neighborhoods, offering visitors an inspiring glimpse into a different side of the city.

This guided photo tour takes you through the heart of Christiania, led by a local photographer who knows the best spots to capture its charm and character. You’ll explore narrow paths lined with graffiti art, creatively built homes, and lively communal spaces that tell stories of history and expression. Along the way, there will be a stop at one of the local cafés to relax and experience the welcoming, laid-back atmosphere of the community. With endless opportunities for photography and authentic encounters, this tour provides a deeper understanding of Copenhagen’s artistic soul and one of its most iconic neighborhoods.
