The visit to Ribe Viking Center was very exciting. I was able to put my hand on various attractions and try archery, woodwork, knitting with needle. The vikings who were in the houses were happy to answer the questions and I gained a lot of new knowledge. The Center also has a farm with many animals: cows, sheep’s, pig with piglets and some friendly cats. In the middle of the day there was an exciting bird show and in addition you could see a cool performance where viking played with fire and did some juggling.

VisitRibe is a modern Visitor information centre, where you can personally search for information about Ribe, Esbjerg, The Wadden Sea Nationalpark and a number of other exiting sights and attractions in the Wadden Sea coastal area. The visitor information centre contains the very latest information technology, brochures and maps of the area, and naturally Wi-Fi is available for free of charge. When the staff have gone home after normal office hours, you can still search for information at the visitor's centre.
Had a fantastic day in Ribe. What a charming old city with so much history and beautiful areas. Nature is never far away in this city. Go though an open gate facing the street and you will most likely find a little garden, a cafe or maybe a B&B. Experience the narrow streets or the cozy paths behind Nederdammen and Sct Nicolas Gade. If you have any doubts about visiting Ribe, just go there. You will not regret it.

The Museum Ribe's Vikings is beautifully situated in central Ribe overlooking the river Ribe A. Experience the Viking era and the Middle Ages. Thousands of artefacts found during archaeological excavations in the area tell the interesting history of Ribe from the year 700 to the year 1700. Step aboard a reconstructed Viking ship like a true Viking setting out to explore the world. Then, after just a few steps, you can stand on a street corner of Ribe in the year 1500. Watch a film about Ribe's Vikings, excavate in the archaeological sandpit, explore the large museum shop or visit the activity room "Dagmar and Valdemar", where you can dress up in costumes, joust like a medieval knight or step into a medieval home. Children under 18 years free admission.
Museum is small but really interesting and covers viking and medieval time periods. All kind of handcrafts represented and also story how people lived in that time. They also show movie about archeological work mixed with historical reenactment. In second floor there is also denmark flag exhibition but sadly it was only in dansk.
