Christiania

Christiania offers some truly unique shopping, apart from it's infamous major export item; Cannabis. If you want to bring home a really unique souvenir from Copenhagen, there are a bunch of interesting options here. In addition to stores listed below, there is also a Bazaar at the entrance to Pusher street where you can buy everything from Cannabis posters, to bongs and Jamaican clothing.

Despite the best efforts by the police to shut down the Cannabis trade here, the selling is still going on - relatively openly. The Cannabis market in Copenhagen is estimated to around 1 billion kroner €134 mio annually, and with Christiania still being the epicentre, neither is there much chance of the trade disappearing any time soon. But potential buyers should be aware that police occasionally patrol the area, and you could potentially be fined if you are caught possessing hashish. Visitors should also take note that harder drugs are frowned upon on Christiania, and no attempts should be made to buy, or even ask for, harder drugs.
