Founded in 1909, the Aarhus Open Air Museum is the world's first open-air museum about the city's history and folklore. There are 75 ancient Danish buildings built between 1597 and 1909, and the original appearance of the buildings has been maintained. In addition to this, there are also shops and restaurants, some of which are completely modelled on ancient architecture and lifestyle. Staff in folk costumes show people the life of the people at that time, which is an excellent place to know the lifestyle of the Nordic people in the past.Aarhus · 854m from downtown

A wild open-air park that is well worth visiting. It feels like being in a primeval forest. It is recommended to bring carrots to feed the deer, and you will be very popular. There is a small pond in the forest, where various water birds live. Feel the nature quietly.
