====Christianshavn==== [[File:Christianshavns Kanal boats.jpg|thumb|Christianshavn Canal]] [[Christianshavn]] lies to the southeast of [[Indre By]] on the other side of the harbour. The area was developed by [[Christian IV of Denmark|Christian IV]] in the early 17th century. Impressed by the city of [[Amsterdam]], he employed Dutch architects to create canals within its [[Christianshavns Vold|ramparts]] which are still well preserved today.<ref name=kher/> The canals themselves, branching off the central [[Christianshavns Kanal|Christianshavn Canal]] and lined with house boats and pleasure craft are one of the area's attractions.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.travtasy.com/2018/04/copenhagen-itinerary-5-days-denmark.html|title=5 Days in Copenhagen Itinerary & What To Do|access-date=15 September 2019|archive-date=9 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191209055805/https://www.travtasy.com/2018/04/copenhagen-itinerary-5-days-denmark.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Another interesting feature is [[Freetown Christiania]], a fairly large area which was initially occupied by squatters during student unrest in 1971. Today it still maintains a measure of autonomy. The inhabitants openly sell drugs on "Pusher Street" as well as their arts and crafts. Other buildings of interest in Christianshavn include the [[Church of Our Saviour, Copenhagen|Church of Our Saviour]] with its spiralling steeple and the magnificent Rococo [[Christian's Church, Copenhagen|Christian's Church]]. Once a warehouse, the [[North Atlantic House]] now displays culture from Iceland and Greenland and houses the [[Noma (restaurant)|Noma]] restaurant, known for its Nordic cuisine.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/maritime-christianshavn-holmen|title=Maritime Christianshavn & Holmen|publisher=Visit Copenhagen|access-date=27 November 2013|archive-date=3 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203000655/http://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/maritime-christianshavn-holmen|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aok.dk/byliv/guide-to-christianshavn|title=Guide to Christianshavn|publisher=AOK|access-date=27 November 2013|archive-date=3 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203050531/http://www.aok.dk/byliv/guide-to-christianshavn|url-status=live}}</ref>
