Freetown Christiania
Self-governing anarchist commune in the heart of Copenhagen

About
Christiania was founded in 1971 when squatters occupied an abandoned military base in Copenhagen. Now home to about 1,000 residents across 34 hectares, it operates as a self-governing community with its own flag, consensus-driven governance, and is Copenhagen's fourth largest tourist attraction.
