Lonely Planet review

There's more than the expected vaults in the basement of Nordea Bank, a stone's throw from the cathedral. In the mid-1960s this site was excavated and impressive artefacts from the Viking era were unearthed. The musty Vikingemuseum is not nearly as slick as others in town, but is charming for its old-school ways.

Exhibits include a skeleton, a reconstructed house, 1000-year-old carpentry tools and pottery, and photos of the excavation. It's accessible only during the bank's opening hours - enter the bank and take the staircase to the left.
