The oldest part of Den Gamle By resembles a small Danish market town with houses, gardens, residences, shops, and workshops. The buildings originate from towns all over Denmark and have been reconstructed at the museum. You can encounter people dressed, working, and behaving as they did in days gone by. They cook, chop wood, do handicrafts, or serve customers in the shop. You can stop and have a chat with them.
Take a ride in the horse-drawn carriage or make a good deal in the historic shops. Enjoy a draft beer in the cellar and savor the coffee and delicious pastry at Traktørstedet.
At the Festpladsen, you can participate in stilt walking, skittle games, and try the swings and carousel. Throughout the year, there are theme days, concerts, activities for children, and several special exhibitions. In Den Gamle By, you will also find several smaller museums.
