Ribe
Compact, postcard-perfect
Ribe
is Denmark's oldest town, and it encapsulates the
country's golden past in exquisite style, complete with imposing 12th-century
cathedral, cobblestone streets, skewed half-timbered houses and lush water
meadows. Stay overnight in atmospheric lodgings that exude history (low-beamed
rooms in a wonky 1600s inn, or in converted jail cells), and take a free walking
tour narrated by the town's nightwatchman - the perfect way to soak up the
streetscapes as well as tall tales of local characters.
