Less than 3.5 kilometers from the city center is the charming Funen Open-Air Village, a great day trip and ideal way to explore the rural Denmark of the past.

 Billed as "a village from the time of Hans Christian Andersen," buildings such as workers cottages, farmhouses, and shops have been brought here to create a historic "living village."

During summer months, guides in period costume take visitors through the grounds and demonstrate artisan skills, crafts, and 19th-century cooking.
