There are many sights in Ribe, some of them are listed
unerneath, and also how far they are from Alberts Bed and Breakfast.
With its outstanding status as Denmark's oldest and best preserved town,
Ribe offers its guests a unique atmosphere. There are very few places in
Denmark where it is possible to see an entire medieval town centre
with old half-timbered houses and cobblestone streets. The eye is
continually caught by new impressions; the cathedral rises at the end of
the street at one moment, and at the next there is an unexpected glimpse
of flat salt meadows with grazing cattle. Its details also make Ribe quite
special: half-timbered houses with finely carved wood-work, doors with
artistic adornments, street lamps that great-grandmother knew, and so on.
The town is full of relics from bygone days, but in no way is it a museum.
Energetic young people make sure that there is life under the redtiled
roofs and in summer the atmosphere in the town square is almost
Mediterranean. Ribe is a hive of activity all year round. Visit the many
museums and churches, take an excursion to the Tidal Flats or Mandø where
nature shows her strength. Visit a multitude of inviting shops - and
perhaps work up an appetite for a delicious meal in one of the many
restaurants and cafés. Ribe has a great deal to offer and Have a good
holiday in Denmark's oldest town |
