Den Gamle By

Freya, Dean, Rus and I met Liam in Århus yesterday morning and went to Den Gamle By ("The Old Town") for the day. It was only the second day of reopening and there were barely any people. A few of the buildings weren't open because they were not able to follow the maximum guest allowance and distancing rules in some of the smaller spaces but there was still a lot to see. The oldest part contains buildings from 1550-1900 and the rest represent the 1920's and the 1970's. I loved all of the life-like statues and was caught off guard by them every time.
