Enjoy watching the birds and see the enormous elephants in the neighboring Copenhagen Zoo, whose habitat is right next to the garden.

Freetown Christiania

Discover charming cafes, galleries, music venues, and workshops in this fascinating community, but keep in mind that it's a unique and unconventional place that requires an open mind. Take a leisurely stroll along the ramparts and canals for a one-of-a-kind experience.
