Den Gamle By

Reviewed By Sidaraf - Turku, Finland

Its a remaining of old city that is 200-300 years old. Its partly reconstructed. Its a really nice place to spend time with family and friends. Its suitable for toddler and disable people. However, people with wheelchair won't be able to climb the wooden staircase of the old buildings. At some point its similar to a open air museum. There is a bakery that sells cookies, cakes, cinnamon breads and biscuits, which are based on 17th century old recipes,I highly recommend. It took 1.5 hours for us to explore. Its 135 DKK per adult.

Aros Aarhus Kunstmuseum

Welcome to ARoS Aarhus Art Museum - one of Europe's largest art museums situated in the heart of Aarhus, and the only one with a rainbow on top, Your rainbow panorama. ARoS is a house of art where our guests can be pleased, enlightened and challenged. The architecture is of international class. The same is the art. And both offer experiences of high carat: from light to thrill, from attitude to entertainment, from joy to challenge.

First time visit to AROS. Very surprised by the Popularity of this new classic Aarhus attraction. - but well deserved. The museum is big, but stretching over 10 levels there is plenty to experience. There is all kinds of art with focus on modern art - and with many different artists- and different styles we were all (including the kids) entertained, thrilled and dazzled for 4 hours. Must see’s; the installation art on the 1+2 level, FAR FOR HOME - including the famous ‘BOY’ and the extraordinary sign mark of AROS - Olafur Eliasson round rooftop circle walk. So in short - AROS is a unique experience and a ‘Must-see’ in Aarhus - also for those only moderately art interested.

Fregatten Jylland

The wooden frigate ‘Jylland’ is one of the longest and most significant historic wooden ships in the world. Built in 1857-1860, it was both the first and last warship in the Danish navy with an originally inbuilt steam driven engine and sails – a cutting edge hybrid of its time, superior in speed with its long and slender hull. It survived 18 hits during the battle of Heligoland 1864 and worked as a royal ship, sailing King Christian IX to the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Saint Petersburg in 1874 and 1876. Since then, the old warship has functioned as lodging for soldiers and children of the rural districts of Denmark, as exhibition facilities of the National Exhibition of 1909 and others. Many times, it has faced the destruction of slow decay and being sold for scraps. Thanks to ardent people, skilled craftsmen and generous foundations, the proud ship survived and now resides in its dry dock in Ebeltoft. WELCOME ABOARD!

A really great experience,but there was not enough information about the daily working of this wonderful vessel of war.One example was the artillery-deck crew's individual function when manning the piece The children wanted to know how they loaded and who fired the canon.We could find no information on this subject.The level of technical information needs radicle improvement.Otherwise a great and adventurous-day of the kids that included rope making and sextant reading.The very fragrance of the shipyard and its functions were enjoyed by all.Thank Jyiiand.

Randers Regnskov

Reviewed By MrsJHH

Fantastic experience, it is a bit like walking through a jungle (on a stroler-friendly path), the animals are really close, for the most part not in enclosures (predators are), and not afraid of the at times many visitors, which makes the experience even more amazing. The outside space is especially fun for kids and adults young at heart (and body) as there is a big jungle-playground and enough space to enjoy a picnic. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. Enough parking spaces. Good cafeteria and gift shop.

Originally I wanted to see Den Gamle By. It might be a nice place but I had that kind of feeling it was a tourist trap. So I went to the botanical garden instead which turned out to be a great decision. Not only is the entrance to the greenhouse free, there are even lots of beautiful butterflies, fish and even more exotic plants of course. I probably enjoyed this place much more than I would have enjoyed the old town.

Faengslet

FAENGSLET i Horsens er en Kulturinstitution med mange facetter. I centrum star de gamle bygninger, som siden 1853 har vaeret hjemsteddet for nogle af de mest hardkogte kriminelle hjerner. Horsens Statsfaengsel satte frem til 2006 sit praeg pa stedet. I den store hovedbygning finder man i dag Faengselsmuseet, hvor Nordeuropas storste og mest unikke faengselsamling er udstillet over 4 etager. Turistinformationen i Horsens er ligeledes at finde herpa FAENGSLET. Leder I efter et sted at holde jeres naeste store firmafest, konference eller helt specielle teambuildingoplevelser, kan FAENGSLET ogsa levere. De unikke lokaler, som den gamle Arrestafdeling, Snedkeriet eller Gl. Celle, hvor fire abne celleetager abner sig op, er ideelle til at skabe en anderledes modeoplevelse. FAENGSLET danner rammen om mange store koncerter. Bl.A. Kan Faengselsgarden bryste sig af at have lagt hus til Rasmus Seebach, Runrig, Tom Petty m.Fl., Og sommeren 2014 byder ogsa pa L.O.C. Pa det store faengselsareal vest for bygningerne har Metallica optradt, og denne plads kan ligeledes i 2014 byde pa store navne som Aerosmith og Volbeat samt "revisit" af Metallica. FAENGSLET er ogsa udlejer for mange af Horsens' interessenter. Horsens and Friends holder til i Forbygningen, og flere kunstnergrupper har ogsa vaerksted i bygningerne. Vi ser frem til at tage godt imod jer som gaester pa FAENGSLET.
