The Last City in Europe with No Laws (Christiania)

When I heard there was a city in Demark that had gained independence from Copenhagen, and was anarchist, I knew I needed to visit. My trip did not disappoint. This was an eye opening experience to say the least

As a dane who has been to Christiania many times, being a foreign tourist and allowed to film a stand is quite impressive.

[@AceHighAlbion]

Yes same... I seen som terrible things against tourist for filming

[@HotHenrik-eu4nu]

​@@AceHighAlbion What happened?

[@ThePlayList2510]

@@HotHenrik-eu4nuNothing happens, they just get yelled at, and made delete the photos/vids… understandble

This is such good content, nice video and filming - i have never seen so graphic photos of the pusher street on video

[@81phoebe]

Beautiful art work... Glad you are okay while filming

Invest in a pair of Rayban camera glasses so when you're not supposed to be recording you can still record🤣 Great content keep it coming.

[@MrJackystewart]

Thank you!

[@dema8468]

Indeed impressive.. I had my daily life there for years.. Gotta say, U DONT BLEND IN :) u look like a gdamn cop walking around. :) woopz, i forgot to say, awesome video.

[@MaineUSA]

Great video!!! One part made me feel yucky,tho. When you was eating at the vegetarian restaurant and your wife says," I like it because it's all locally grown vegetables here. It just sounded cliche. Sorry it just felt pretentious.

[@Gert-DK]

There has been a development in Christiania. First, a little background info. It is actually not the citizens of Christiania, that sells the Hashis, it is controlled by outside violent gangs. A couple of months ago there was a shooting in Christiania and one person got killed. Christianias citizens have officially asked the Police for help, they want the weed sale out of Christiania. So now Christiania is a temporarily a zone, where the police can frisk you without any course. Patrolling from the Police will be intensified, and I guess there will be civilian dressed police too. Frisk zones have been tried before, in areas with high crime. It gave good results. If you are in Christiania and police want to frisk you, let them do it. They will not beat you up. To that, I will say weapons are not allowed in DK without a permit. Getting caught with a weapon is 1 year in prison, no discussion. NOTE: Knifes, with a blade over a certain size, are considered as a weapon. So let your Magnum and machete stay at home. Tip: Sometimes the citizens make guided tours, I really can recommend that. EDIT: If stopped by the police, you have to inform them about your name, birthday, your current address. If indited for something, you are allowed to lie as much as you want (not a good idea). Cooperate and you will have a good chance to just get a warning, if it is a minor offense.

[@mariewoodward9713]

Omg Jordan you are bats**t crazy. Your lucky you didn't get beat up or killed. Hi Chloe and Lennon. Although the little so-called city was really cute I definitely would not visit. The food looked so delicious. Where are you guys off to next? I'm sure I will enjoy it. As always thank you for sharing

[@Basseman]

This just show how little you know 😂, the change of him getting beaten up or killed is very very small. I work there and have seen people filming places were they shouldn’t (like this guy👆🏽) And they just smashed there cameras, and that was because the lady insisted on filming even though she was told 10 times to out the camera away So no he couldn’t have been killed🤯🤣

[@AceHighAlbion]

@@Basseman To be fair in 2010s (cant remember precise) a tourist got dragged out beaten up fully naked, and dropped off at the back entrance for the ambulance to pick him up! Because he was filming in pusherstreet! But yes its rare, but still i seen it personally so yeh it do happen. I dunno now days, but i would think its even worse now days.

[@traver1965]

Great video again. You should not worry being in Christiania. I think only 150 tourists a year gets mortally wounded. Some time less. During the pandemic it was way less. Just kidding. I have never heard of a tourist being killed in Christiania

[@pulemothapo8685]

Yay

[@luciaadan5647]

I want to visit Christiania too🙃🙃

[@johnsinger1887]

Drug trade is the most common crime committed in Christiania, it happens every day. Sometimes also killings of gang members who sell drugs by other gangs.

[@D_C-rm4fq]

are they still selling drugs there like before or not ? Do you know?

[@justbasic314]

They just stopped drug selling 3 weeks ago (the locals living there are not the ones in control of the drug selling) it is gang member from other parts of copenhagen doing the drug selling - but the local “christianians” picked up the road blocks to stop the drug selling indefinetly

[@TheJurgys]

green farma haha

[@AceHighAlbion]

Last big RULE, no filming! but tourist never get it even though it stands at ALL entrances and all over with signs etc! But im suprised you were even got allowed to film a shop! You properly meet one of the real Christianits, if its been one of the real gang members who control it, they for sure had beat you up for filming there! I seen back some 10-15 years ago a tourist who didnt respect it, he got stripped down naked, beat up a bit, and then dragged out on the public street for ambulance to pick him up! Its not for fun that it says no filming, please if you come again, respect it! Else everyone is super friendly also the gangs. Only thing just respect no filming its the biggest no no!

[@Gert-DK]

There are trolls located in the US too.

[@sscc587]

Nooooo!!! You're too pretty to go in there!

[@CountingCountries]

😂😂😂

[@garyjeffries1041]

I question myself this place if they have rights why do the police get heavily involved for example in Canada weed now legal why can't they make it legal?? Makes you wonder I'm Canadian why I am wondering why Denmark 🇩🇰 can't leave that community alone

[@christiansebastianlauritse2404]

They are not an independent nation, at all. They like to think they are, but really they are just a neighbour in Copenhagen. They're danish citizens, and get all the benefits that any other citizens does and therefore also have to live by the same laws. This guy has been wildly misinformed. I personally support the community's right to live as they please, and the sale of marijuana shouldn't be a big deal; but they are just a homeowner's association, essentially. The government chose to let them take over the old naval base as a social experiment (what happens if the hippies get their way) but the community only exists because the Danish government lets them.

[@Mike-zx1kx]

It is an artist making the wooden trolls. You can buy your own troll if you got the room and the urge. I think they are cool too. There are NO hard drugs at Christiania but they have to prevent photos since you in Denmark are not allowed to buy or sell Hash. But you are allowed to have 5 grams on you without any action but potential confiscation. If you film those selling, they risk police see your photos and thus can use it in court. It are not an unreasonable demand. Keep it and you, and they, will have no problems. Denmark simply have a pragmatic official attitude towards this soft drug. That you got to film there are a first, never seen that before. I urge anyone to not try to replicate. As you were eating just 100 m from where the police action were also shows that the police are going after the trade, not rest of Christania. There are many good places to eat there and often fine concerts. Danes like to come by and have a cold beer in the green surroundings, there are many reasons to visit Christania.

[@DavidLindes]

4:55 - you know, it's kinda fucked up that you knowingly were filming where you clearly knew the locals didn't want you to, AND lied to them about it. Just sayin'.

[@REG448]

Please dont never EVER disrespect Christiania like he did in this video.

Christiania is not a city and Christiania has laws so everything u wrote in the title is wrong

[@shivamazon]

a very misleading film. apparently positive guy, but why should we see him himself, talking to himself and his camera. nobody today anywhere in the world lives outside the law. why are the police there then? then he films himself, with his children, after he tells his wife he has almost been beaten up? and she seems like that, a little sweet, and - good soup? it seems like passivity bullies. if we look at the USA, the Americans dare not have their children out in their private gardens, security is great. so I have to give thumbs down for this misleading video. A bit disgusting actually. Because it's okay to be so naive today. who are the children his own? is it the couple's child? how do you do that? say, "there are no laws here" and take their children in there? Imagine if something were to happen to those children? Are those children then lawless? I don't understand what the point is? the soup? his wife? his talk about being assaulted? I don't think I want to follow him here. I wouldn't recommend that here. To be a positive person, is to be a pious American?

If there being the police are busting people that means there are laws lololol that makes no sence people need to stop saying it has no laws
