History lovers will get a kick out of Ribe, which is not only the oldest town in Denmark, but also one that played a key role in the rise and fall of the Vikings. Excavations unearthed artifacts that gave people a better idea of how the town came to be one of the centers of trade and commerce during the Viking Age. Many of these archeological discoveries are housed in the Ribe Viking Museum, while the Ribe Viking Center features a recreation of a Viking village.
Ribe is also one of the most well-preserved medieval towns today and still features the cobblestone streets and half-timber homes that marked the era. It also serves as the home of the oldest cathedral in Denmark - Vor Frue Kirke (The Church of Our Lady). One of the best times to visit Ribe is from May 1 to September 15, when the Night Watchman sings his fantastic tales, as he tells people that bedtime is approaching. With all of these sights and activities in town, what are you waiting for? Book an Airbnb vacation rental in Ribe to learn more about these stories, yourself!
