Aarhus’s beloved open-air museum transforms into a living Christmas timeline from 15th November to 31st December 2025.
At Den Gamle By you’ll stroll through centuries of Danish Yuletide, from 19th‑century parlours to 1970s design, each quarter trimmed with era-appropriate decorations. Meet costumed townsfolk, peep into historic shops and sample traditional treats such as æbleskiver. It’s a rich, immersive experience that blends heritage with festive cheer, ideal for families and culture lovers. Set just west of the city centre, the museum is easy to reach and rewards a slow wander—plan time for hot drinks, craft browsing and candlelit photos in the cobbled streets.
