Winter activities in Den Gamle By - The Old Town Museum

All schools in Denmark are closed in week 7. This means that many families are on their winter holidays, and every year there are many activities for children during this week.

The winter holidays in Den Gamle By are a celebration for the whole family. Make lanterns, bake sweets, try carnival buns, take a look inside the merchant's house, visit people's homes and experience your own history. The fun activities take place on the Renaissance farm.

Time travel from the Viking Age to the present day
