- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Den Gamle By is absolutely worth visiting - especially around Christmas. Very convenient with transportation from Copenhagen directly to the beautiful open air museum in Århus in mainland Denmark. The Danish term "hygge" is perfectly exhibited here. The driver Kenneth was witty, informative and pleasant
