Viking Museum Haithabu

One of the Best Places To Visits in Busdorf A must-visit for Viking and history enthusiasts, despite language barriers and some design flaws. Plan for at least half a day to explore the museum and village. Check for peak season to avoid crowds. Allow ample time (at least half a day), start at the museum for context, consider bringing food/drinks, and note limited English signage. Public transport is available but remember it's a rural area. Absolutely fascinating place with an importance during Viking times that can hardly be exaggerated. Highly recommended! The quiet, the smell, the absolutely immense size of the site... you must go and experience it. Very interesting museum and exhibits rather spoilt by poor building design and poor exhibition design. It is a really beautiful place all around full of history. Unfortunately, I do not speak German and inside the museum there really is very little that can be found with information in English. A great place for all who like history and especially the period of Viking culture.

A great selection of archaeological artefacts on display. All the written around is German. They have a audio guide system that I did not try, hopefully it comes in different languages. Absolutely fascinating place with an importance during Viking times that can hardly be exaggerated. Highly recommended! Good of the Viking Age. For English speakers there is a complete book of reading for the exhibits and you can use your phone for audio and text information. The outdoor recreation of buildings is good but under developed - there is little explanation. A lot more could be done here. It really is hard to represent this place via pictures. The quiet, the smell, the absolutely immense size of the site... you must go and experience it. The village was built with impressive attention to detail. The animals surrounding the area add to the atmosphere of a time were food was produced close to where it was consumed. The sheep you can actually get close too and approach. staff is adorable! =) Super helpful in setting up the voice guides. Definitely a bucket list item for viking and nature fans. Notes I wish I had before going: 1) It's a huge place! Go with time. At least half a day. The closes at 17h, that can complicate an afternoon visit. 2) Start at the museum, it will give you context on the landscape where the village sits. 3) Take food with you. There is a coffee shop there, but limited meal choices. Only one restaurant close by. Decent food, but bit pricey. Not very friendly to foreigners, no English menu. 4) If you are into woods, you can take some extra time to explore the area around. 5) If you go by public transport, remember it's a rural area. Flashier clothes / left leaning symbols may get you an occasional intrigued and not so friendly pair of eyes.. or comments. It is a really beautiful place all around full of history Unfortunately, I do not speak German and inside the there really is very little that can be found with in English I expected to have more knowledge about what am so passionate about, but that was not the case Still, I recommend the place A great place for all who like history and especially the period of Viking culture. A modern facility friendly to visitors. The ticket price is very attractive in relation to the quality of the museum. A place worth visiting Very interesting and informative of the Viking city of Hedeby. That was a power Center of Denmark in the Viking age. Very interesting and exhibits rather spoilt by poor building design and poor exhibition design. When we visited we had to wait for about 20 minutes outside the entrance before we could buy tickets. What happens when it rains? The entrance building should have been much larger in order to accommodate the large numbers of people who visit. Once we had tickets we had to go outside again to access the exhibition crossing the line of people waiting to buy tickets. Large numbers of the exhibits are badly lit so that it is not possible to read the cards. Some exhibits are on shelves above eye level so it is not possible to see them! There is very little in English. At the housing site there is a short leaflet available describing the houses but at the main exhibition there is virtually no available in English. I am sure that English-speaking visitors would be willing to buy an booklet in English; it would make the visit so much more enjoyable and informative! So many opportunities have been missed!
