THERE IS SOMETHING ROTTEN IN THE STATE OF DENMARK!

The above statement is unfortunatly just as true as i was when shakespeare wrote them many years ago!
When it comes to safety, Copenhagen is safer than most places, apart from the odd pick pocket in the tourist season you are not likely to witness any crime, But Denmark is unfortunately not the place it was 20-30 years ago and it is necessary to give you some advice.

CHRISTIANIA: Welcome to gangland! The former army barracks are one of the most visited tourist attractions, popular if you want to rub shoulders with local drug lords, Hells Angel and gangsters of the worst sort.
This is the place to visit if you want to buy contraband of every kind, drugs, guns, stolen goods, and witness gangwars closehand!

If you visit Christiania remember to wear a bullet-proof west, in case of trouble. Christiania is a no-go area for the police, and if you need help be patient, it will probably take three or four hours to gather 30-150 combat ready police officers to rescue you. And remember ambulance drivers will only drive to christiania if they are under police protection.
Local pushers dont allow photography in certain areas due to the drug trade. You will either be attacked, or have your camera taken by force if you insist.

Stay away and ignore the illegal drug market that does nothing for the desperate local population, but keeps pushers and gangsters in a very lucrative business that has made individuals rich from selling drugs to children.

Do you support the sale of drugs to kids? If not, Please stay away!
