To better come to grips with Ribe's Viking and medieval history, visit the informative dis-
plays of the Museum of Ribe's Vikings. Two rooms provide snapshots of the town in 800
and during medieval times in 1500. These portrayals are complemented by rare archaeolo-
gical finds and good explanations, which add real substance to the tales.

Embrace your inner Viking (ignore any pillaging tendencies, ok?) at this hands-on, open-
air museum. It attempts to re-create a slice of life in Viking-era Ribe using various recon-
structions, including a 34m longhouse. The staff, dressed in period clothing, bake bread
over open fires, demonstrate archery and Viking-era crafts such as pottery and leather-
work, and offer falconry shows and 'warrior training' (for kids, using a sword and shield).
You'll undoubtedly learn more about Viking life than you could from a textbook.
The centre is 3km south of town; bus 417 runs out here.
