Copenhagen- Christianhavn District

Thanks go to Anna in Customer Care for sharing Copenhagen with us...

The capital city of Denmark is atracting tourist from every corner of the world. Around 30% of the Danish citizens live in Copenhagen or around this metropolitan city. Copenhagen is known from its longest pedestrian street with great shopping places and many tourist atractions. Everybody has heard about Little Mermaid or about Hamlet Castle I would like to recommend soemthing different about Copenhagen: two attractions located in Christianshavn District namely Christiania and Church of our Saviour. Christinia is knows as Freetown Christinia an is very special place. Christiania was established in 1971 when a group of hippies have decided to set their own community in the abandoned military barracks. The community became completely independent from the danish governments. The community is situated in the heart of the city and is mostly known from its art whch is present everywhere in this small district. The distict ic coloreful and lively place and creates great diversity from the other attractions in Copenhagen. When you are going out from Christinia you can see interesting sign above your head which is stating that ‘You are now entering the EU’ Next to the Christinaia there is Church of Our saviour located. The construction of the church was completed in 1696 and it lasted around 14 years. The church was constructed in baroque style which is rather rare style to admire in Denmark. Of course the church presents uniqe altar and magnificent organ from 1968 however the most recommended place to visit is the Tower of Our saviour’s Church. The tower gives great opportunity to admire panoramic view of the Copenhagen.

The spire was constructed in 1752 however it was renovated many times during the centuries. The lenght of the tower is 90 metres and to get to the top you have to climb 400 hundred stairs. Climbing up the tower is a bit of experience and adventure. It can also be a little frightenning. The whole spire is built from oak which during windy water can shake a little. If you manage to survive this adventure and appears on the top you will be rewarded by possibility to admire breathtaking views of Copenhagen and shores od Sweden.
