Christiania

Alternative Copenhagen

Prinsessegade
Copenhagen
Denmark
+45 32 95 6507
http://www.christiania.org

Founded in 1971, Christiania is an anarchic part of Denmark. It was set up as a direct result of the student uprisings of the 1960s. Today, Christiania is home to some 750 outsiders and is a free city, which means that it is not part of the city, the country, or the European Union. It is a lively place and there are always lots of activities happening. One of the original ideas was to have a 'no car town', but nowadays the inhabitants have trouble finding parking spaces outside the district because of the multitude of tourist buses. Visitors should be aware that the sale of drugs is legal here, and that dogs run around the streets freely. Guided tours can be arranged.

Copenhagen Design Market

Young Danish Design Sturlasgade 14
Copenhagen 2300
Denmark
+45 3296 5098 You will find Copenhagen Design Market on Islands Brygge, south of the centre. You won't notice the market from the street, but if you know the address and can get there on a Friday or a Saturday, don't miss it. You will have to pass a backyard and walk up some stairs before you enter the big, bright room where it all happens. At Copenhagen Design Market you will find clothes, jewellery and furniture, all made and sold by young Danish designers. You might be lucky and find some really good offers.

Grønttorvet

Largest Open Market in Town Israel Plads
Copenhagen 2500
Denmark
Now hidden behind the construction site of the new metro station by Nørreport Station, Grønttorvet is still the city's largest open market for fruits, vegetables and flowers. Open from early morning to late afternoon, this is the place to buy large quantities at a good price. Remember to watch carefully what actually ends up in your bag. Pointing out the specific item you wish to purchase can help. This place is run by professionals, who are friendly and helpful.

Israel Plads

Copenhagen's Flea Market Israels Plads
Copenhagen 2300
Denmark
On Saturdays between May and September, the parking lot on Israel Plads makes way for several little shop owners and private citizens, who set up shop and sell everything from teddy bears to shoe stands (as long as it is old and about to break).

Nørrebro

Buy And Sell Nørrebrogade
Copenhagen 2200
Denmark
Along the walls of Assistens Kirkegaard (the Nørrebro cemetery that also functions as a lively park), the locals set up tiny stands and sell whatever belongings they might not need. Or they try to resell items they bought last week, at a profit! The area is nice for a walk, and definitely a very authentic Copenhagen experience.
