Personal highlights

  1. Christiania: district of Copenhagen with basically no laws
  2. Freetown: people living in anarchy and a tourist attraction at the same time
  3. Streetart: colorful walls and houses all along the streets of the district
  4. Drugs: open sale of different kind of drugs with nearly no police control
  5. Canals: the entire district is built on former defense fortifications
