Why Den Gamle By matters
Den Gamle By means The Old Town, and that is exactly what it is: a whole town of historic buildings moved here from across Denmark and arranged along cobbled streets. Walk into a baker's shop, a merchant's house or a toy store and see how life looked in different eras. Costumed staff add atmosphere, and the town feels especially magical around Christmas.
Talking points
- Historic buildings were moved here from towns across Denmark.
- You can step inside shops, workshops and homes from different eras.
- It is especially atmospheric at Christmas.
