Vikingemarked - Ribe VikingeCenter

International Viking Market

Reopens on April 28, 2025

1300 years ago, in Viking Age Ribe, the market place by the River was an exciting and tremendously important place. Vikings and other good people came from far and wide to trade and exchange goods right here. The market was known throughout the world, and as it attracted very skilled craftsmen the place buzzed with life. And that was the beginning of Ribe.

April 28 - May 4, 2025

Visit the International Viking Market in Ribe VikingeCenter. Experience some amazing spring days alongside merchants, craftspeople, warriors, archers, riders, entertainers, musicians and many others. The atmosphere is unrivalled and relaxed. There's a smell of bonfires and horses, and the wind carries the sound of foreign languages and hammer blows from the forge across the marketplace. You can meet traders from all over Europe, and there is ample opportunity to strike a bargain at the many stalls. Get up close to the beautiful Icelandic horses, try your hand at archery and watch the wild warrior shows from the first row.

The tradespeople will be arriving during the first days of the week. The event reaches a high on Saturday and Sunday.

IMPORTANT!
The merchants only accept cash payment (DKK or EUR). It is not possible to pay by card in the marketplace, and there is no ATM in Ribe VikingeCenter, so please remember to bring cash.
In our museum shop and in the café, you can pay by card, but you cannot withdraw cash money.
