Christiania omfatter et område på ca. 34 ha på Christianshavn i København. Størsteparten er den tidligere Bådsmandsstræde Kaserne og hele det tidligere ammunitionsareal. Christiania udgør mellem en tredjedel og halvdelen af Københavns bevarede voldanlæg, der strækker sig fra Langebro i syd til Kvinti Lynette i nord og afgrænser Christianshavn mod øst.

English:
Freetown Christiania, also known as Christiania (Danish: Fristaden Christiania or Staden), is an intentional community and communeof about 850 to 1,000 residents, covering 7.7 hectares (19 acres) in the borough of Christianshavn in the Danish capital city of Copenhagen.

Christiania has been a source of controversy since its creation in a squatted military area in 1971. Its cannabis trade was tolerated by authorities until 2004. Since then, relations between Christiania and Danish authorities have been strained. Since the beginning of the 2010s, the situation has been somewhat normalized and Danish law is now enforced in Christiania.
