Freetown Christiania (Danish: Fristaden Christiania), also known as Christiania or simply Staden, is an intentional community and commune in the Christianshavn neighbourhood of the Danish capital city of Copenhagen. It began in 1971 as a squatted military base. Its Pusher Street is famous for its open trade of cannabis, which is illegal in Denmark.
The open trade of cannabis was shut down in April 2024 as a collaborative effort with police and the majority of the inhabitants of Christania.[2] Pusher Street's cobblestone road was physically removed, and a new apartment complex is expected to be built there.[3]
