Built in 1070, this is Scandinavia’s largest medieval building. Not just big, it’s quite beautiful too with a particularly impressive exterior west wall which features ground to roof statues of kings and religious characters. Not surprisingly, it’s a prominent landmark and if you approach the city by boat it stands out amidst the modern surroundings.

Inside you’ll see very formally dressed resident guides giving solemn and reverential talks to the usual tourist groups, but it’s good just to wander around the large, atmospheric space and watch the locals trying to ignore them.
