Lille Mølle
A small gem worth 45 minutes of your time. It is the base of an 1783 windmill on the inside of the old defense lines. In 1916 it was bought by a young engineer who made it a home for him and his wife, who lived there until 1974. Now it is a museum, nothing is changed since 1974.

Also on display is P 547 Sehested, the last fast attack boat in the Royal Danish Navy. Apart of the summer opening, the ships are open during most school breaks, and for larger groups at any time of year.
Christianshavn's main attraction, is actually Christianshavn itself. It bears some resemblance to Amsterdam, with its quiet streets branching out from the main canal, flanked by old houses, in bright colours, some dating back to 18th century - one of the photogenic ones is Amagergade on the right side of the the main street, at the end nearest the dam to Amager. And of course the green oasis of the free town Christiania, with its creative home build houses, covered in its own guide.
Christiania has since its establishment in a former military area in 1971 been a partially self governed and semi legal community of 85 acres, today with more than 1,000 inhabitants and more than a million people visiting every year. Christiania contains bars, cafes, restaurants and concert venues. Christinia is car free with small paths and a lot of green and water areas. Staden has throughout the years been a subject for controversy. The political pressure for legalisation and normalisation has increased over recent years and negotiations on the future of the area are ongoing. Do not take photos on the central "Pusher Street", drug dealers will not tolerate it.
