Christiania is a place you most likely read about, with its obvious and semi-legalized marijuana trade, but it's much more than that. Cozy little cafés, picturesque scenery by old military foirtifications and small interesting little shops and local crafts. The area around Christiania is rapidly being developed these years, I highly recommend a walk along the house boats on Holmen and the buzzing activity on Refshaleøen (Copenhagen Street Food etc)

Karens Minde is a natural area in Copenhagen's South Harbor near the Valbypark, with free-ranging sheep, goats and llamas and many cultural events. Very few people know of this local gem, only 15 minutes from Vesterbro by bicycle. Karens Minde Kulturhus was built as an asylum institution in 1879 and the vast nature reserve behind it was actually created as a landfill from Copenhagens expansion in the 1940s.
