Sun (26 Aug 07) - We went to Christianshavn, a self-governing "free town" established in 1971 on the site of a military barracks as an alternative to mainstream culture. The government has recently cracked down on long-standing activities such as the open use of drugs. We were told not to take photos of the central "Pusher Street" (where the drug trades used to operate).
Vor Frelsers Kirke / Church of our Saviour. We climbed the 400 steps to the top of the spire of the church for panoramic views of Copenhagen. The last steps are on the outside of the spire.
Start of our climb
At the top of the church
Holding on for dear life - it was pretty scary outside the spire especially with the winds blowing.
Found a famous Danish patisserie on our way back from Christianshavn
Our reward after climbing 400 flights of stairs!
