Hidden treasures and time for reflection – at a reduced price

In Den Gamle By, the streets and houses are quieter during the first months of the year, which means discounted tickets. It also means there’s plenty of space for reflection and exploration at your own pace. With indoor exhibitions covering nearly twice the size of the City Hall Square, there’s no shortage of discoveries to make. 

Tickets are just 145 DKK per person (normally 205 DKK).

If you’d like to save even more, purchase your tickets online and save an additional 10 DKK per ticket. As always, admission is free for children and young people under 18.

Below is just a small selection of all the things you can explore.
