The Viking Museum  in Ribe  (Museet Ribes Vikinger) is beautifully situated in central Ribe overlooking the river of Ribe A. At the very location of the first Scandinavian town founded approximately in the year 700, the history of Ribe from the Viking Age through the Middle Ages down to the year 1700 is told. Approximately in the year 700, a market place is established along the banks of the river Ribe A. Thousands of archeoiogical finds from the excavations show how the vikings lived and traded with Europe.
