About an hour drive from Aarhus, this is a great way to spend an afternoon feeling a real sense of place, with rune stones (carved memorials) burial mounds, remnants of a palisade and a sense of the conversion to Christianity. The museum is interesting and well designed, using high tech interactive exhibits to tell the Viking story, and gives a real sense of context to the historical site.

In addition to seeing the renowned Jelling Runes across the street, you have to fully experience the Kongernes Museum which not only chronicles Viking history, but also describes their daily lives and customs (Viking helmets did not have horns). A real highlight was learning Bluetooth technology was named in honor of King Harold Bluetooth who brought various tribes together through his communication skills. The Bluetooth logo consists of the Viking letters B and H.
