Den Gamle By

Country: Denmark
City: Århus
Day 4 - Wednesday 23 July

Den Gamle By ("The Old Town") is an open-air museum consisting of old buildings from all over Denmark. It is just a short walk from the centre of Århus, alongside the Botanical Gardens.

It is quite extensive - 75 buildings (including a rather nice windmill), most of which are open. It is a fascinating place, very cleverly laid-out so that it really feels like you are in an old town, with cobbled streets, a town square, river and millpond etc. but we found the realisation just a little bit twee.

Unfortunately, we can't give you much more detail about the buildings as we lost the guide book.
