Located in the center of the city, it is a must to visit. Beautifully preserved. Free entrance to the cathedral, though you need to pay to visit the museum and the tower.

Ribe Art Museum was establishedin 1891 in one of the town’s most impressive buildings, the cotton fabric manufacturer Balthazar Giørtz’s luxury villa, built in 1864. It is one of the oldest art museums in Denmark. And with a fascinating collection of Danish art from 1750 to 1950, it flourishes with masterpieces from the great groundbreaking periods of Danish art history. Ribe Art Museum reopened in 2010 after a thorough restoration of theinterior and exterior. Today it distinguishes itself as a modern museum – a unique space where art, architecture and landscape combine in a beautiful, atmospheric environment.

This is a gem for anyone with art interests. It has recently been refurbished and the displays and facilities are very 21st century. The art is mostly Danish for the collection but they have regular visiting exhibitions. The coffee shop is brilliant and there are outside tables and chairs with a great view down to the river.

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.

Typical wadden sea invironment. Lovely place to watch the boats go between river and sea. Parking and toilets available next to the sluis. From the dike you have a good view point out over the marsh land towards the sea. A small road runs along the dike and makes for great walking, cycling and drive. Plenty of stopping places which offers good views of the bird life in the area.
