Freetown Christiania (Danish: Fristaden Christiania), also known as Christiania or simply Staden, is an intentional community and anarchist commune in the Christianshavn neighbourhood of the Danish capital city of Copenhagen. It began in 1971 as a squatted military base. Its main selling street, Pusher Street, was famous for its open illegal trade of cannabis until 2024, when it was shut down in a collaborative effort between police and the majority of the inhabitants,[2] with the street being physically dug up.[3]
