Late night walking or public transit in Copenhagen?

I%26#39;ll be in Copenhagen for a couple days and am interested in a concert in the Christiana area. If my lodging is back more in central Copenhagen or near the train station will if be safe to walk back to my lodging from Christiana at 1 or 2 AM? Does the public transit run that late?



Or would I be better off to find lodging in Christiana and walk or take transit to central Copenhagen, airport, or train station?

I%26#39;ve done that, and while it can feel a bit dodgy in/around Christiania after dark, just use common sense and head for the Christianshavn metro station. They%26#39;ve recently extended metro to 24 hour service. Be aware that late night rates are double the normal rate.

Hi there Matt.





I%26#39;m often going to concerts/arrangement/happenings at Christiania, in places like Månefiskeren, Den Grå Hal, Nemoland, Bastionen aso.



It%26#39;s perfectly safe out there, but You know, crazy poeple can be found everywhere if one is unlucky, but it%26#39;s just as safe as any other part of the City that time a night.



Maybe there%26#39;s a chance I will attend the same concert as You?! If so, You%26#39;re more than Welcome to hang out with us, who is a nice bunch of happy guys:o)



In relation to Your question, it will offcourse be more save to be in a group than alone....



You are welcome to write me a PM with Your details and what concert/date Your%26#39;e doing. We might be able to arrange something if Your up for it?





Best Regards





Kim





N.B I will not be in CPH from 23/7 - 6/8. I%26#39;m going to stay in Cairo and Sharm-El-Sheikh for 2 weeks then....YYYYYYIIIIIHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...LOL..

the concert is at %26quot;Loppen%26quot;, i know nothing about that place or copenhagen or christiana. Do you know anything about Loppen, or what its like? Is it a club or a concert hall or theatre?

Somebody has made an %26quot;Inside page%26quot; on Christiania.



You can find it by clicking My name, then click %26quot;Contributions%26quot; on My profile(menu in top left corner). Click %26quot;Inside pages%26quot;.



It%26#39;s not Me who wrote it - the reason why it%26#39;s in My %26quot;inside pages%26quot; is because I made a little edition to it.



Poeple have been writing big books about Christiania over the years. Offcourse, Christiania are much more than one can describe in such a short text.



But I think it gives You a good basic introduction to what it%26#39;s all about out there.

I%26#39;ve been to Loppen. It%26#39;s a bar with a stage.

This is from the Inside Page on Christiania:





Loppen





www.loppen.dk, the site can be set to english, check out what%26#39;s happening on the day you visit.





Loppen is a venue located in the free city of Christiania. Since 1973 they have been serving alternative, agressive, provocative and dansable music. Build upon the principles of Consensus, they have managed to uphold the fine principles of freedom and tollerance in spite of changing gouverments and rightwings attempt to bring them down.



Loppen is, and has always been a collective. Decissions are made on their weekly monday meeting and the work they do is mainly voluntary.

Well, I just discovered that if You click on the word %26quot;Christiania%26quot; in one of the posts, it takes You directly to thr inside page mentioned above.



When a word is highlighted with red in a post, it works like a link to an Inside Page.
