Den Gamle By

Anyone devoted to history won’t want to miss this open air museum in the city of Aarhus. Established in 1909, the museum features nearly 100 historical structures collected from all corners of Denmark. Much of the museum is constructed to resemble what a village might have looked like during the lifetime of Hans Christian Andersen. Adults and children delight in the toy museum, and few can resist the allure of costumed re-enactors demonstrating the lifestyle of a bygone era. This attraction is particularly festive during the holiday season with numerous special events occurring.
