Take a journey through time at Frilandsmuseet (The Open Air Museum), a unique outdoor museum located just outside Copenhagen. This remarkable cultural treasure transports visitors back to traditional Danish village life as it looked across the centuries. Here, historic farmhouses, village buildings and original interiors have been recreated with great care, offering a vivid and authentic sense of everyday life in rural Denmark. It is a living tribute to Danish cultural heritage — history here is not just displayed, but experienced. Wander through the old buildings, meet the animals, and explore the open landscape to discover how people lived, worked and celebrated in the past. There are always fun events and activities for both children and adults, with extra family-friendly programs during school holidays, making it an ideal destination for a day out together.
