Guidebook for Frederiksberg
Sightseeing
Christianians have quite a relaxed "rasta" attitude towards life. They don't pay taxes (which is illegal) etc., even have a street named (and functioning as) “pusher street” - note the big rocks at the entrance... that's literally to keep police cars out - but this IS a really nice, alternative place, where locals often come to enjoy the atmosphere. In the summer, there are free concerts on Sundays. Take a walk down to the lake behind (maybe ask for guidance), where the houses (and kindergarten) are built literally by colorful garbage.

Beautiful old scenery, though often crowded in tourist season. Take a ride with "kanal rundfarten" and see Cph from the channels. Cheaps boats (netto bådene) are at the end of Nyhavn. Also, go to the end of NYhavn to see the new bike bridge, walk passed, and you get to a really nice, new, trendy area.

Walking down Istedgade, you will experience a different and exciting side of Copenhagen where all kinds of people hang out - students, hipsters, families with children, etc. For many years, Istedgade was dominated by drugs, porn and prostitutes, but today the street has cleaned somewhat up, but luckily not too much, and is booming with shops, cafées, restaurants and bars.
