The Old Town

It was a delight! It is an immersion into Aarhus and Danish history. A way to see for real how life was back then. The Old Town reacreates history in a vivix way. You can buy bakeries from an 18th century dressed lady from an 18th century bakery. Same goes with books or groceries. You can even sit down in the special room designed to mingle next to the shopping room and taste special spirits, like back in the 17th-18th centuries.

A wonderful step back in times past, representing many eras, cultures and historic events. Great for the family and history buffs. This spacious recreation is thoughtfully laid out walking through the Vikings to 1970s in the form of Main Street, museum of artifacts, village recreations and country estate with authentic trade shops. Historic coffee and bakery from the 1800s was inviting and delicious. Preteens may not appreciate the historical context of Aarhus, said to be the first civilized port of the Viking era. Well maintained and mostly accessible. Loved our visit

If I could give this experience 10 stars I would. We went between Christmas and New Years and got to all the Christmas decorations, taste all the foods and even play Christmas games with the elves. One of the best museums we have ever been to (and we go to a lot)

Very interesting collection of older buildings from Copenhagen's past. It is amazing how they were able to dismantle and then reassemble these old buildings to tell a story of the city's history

Amazing replica town of old town Århus taking places from everywhere in denmark and going back in time all from 10 years ago to 1600s. You can even go into the apartments/shops which is super fun.

First time visitor. Did the Christmas after hours 18:00-21:00 visit. Found the history of Århus interesting but due to the general lack of lighting outside ( authenticity?) could not see so much of the architecture/buildings. Liked the modern section, probably because we could see it ( see photo:-). General lack of Christmas atmosphere , the 3 carol singers and organ grinder needed some back up.

Absolutely amazing place! It really is like you are back in time. It was so interesting walking around fully immersed in the past. You could maybe spend all day here if you really took your time. My favourite thing in Aarhus and possibly the best musuem I’ve been to!

What a fun experience. See housing, shops and vocational skills from several different time periods. Well maintained, picturesque area, and friendly hosts. Cute gift shop, too, that offers a variety of options from candy and toys, to kitchen gadgets, books, and ornaments.
