The Viking Age fascinates me, so I was thrilled to visit Ribe Viking Center. As soon as I arrived, I was whisked away to a world of colorful tents, historical workshops, and animatronic displays. The sounds of clanging metal and the smell of wood smoke filled the air as I explored the center. I watched craftspeople skillfully shaping metal and carving wood, and even got to try my hand at archery! But what fascinated me the most was the reconstructed longhouse, where I learned about the Vikings' way of life, from their weapons to their rituals. Overall, Ribe Viking Center truly transports you to another time and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history.
