Full description

Frilandsmuseet, the Open Air Museum in Kongens Lyngby, spreads historic buildings from 1650 to 1940 across a large parkland site, showing how Danes lived in farmhouses and rural settings of the 18th and 19th centuries. Old breeds of livestock graze nearby, gardens surround the houses, and some staff wear traditional costume.

Reviewers praise the space and the freedom to wander fields at your own pace, noting there is a lot of walking and limited catering. Plan around two hours at minimum, with sturdy shoes, and expect a relaxed, family-friendly outing.
