Frilandsmuseet

Frilandsmuseet, Lyngby Denmark's countryside in one walk: more than 50 farms, mills and houses from 1650 to 1940, drawn from virtually every region of Denmark and the Faroe Islands, plus the former Danish provinces of southern Sweden and northern Germany. That spread lets you compare regional ways of farming and furnishing a home without leaving the site north of Copenhagen. Livestock and a petting zoo give younger visitors a reason to keep walking, and children under 18 get in free. Opening hours vary through the year, so check before planning a winter trip.
