Things to do in Viborg

  1. Brygger Bauers Grotter

    Follow the candlelit passageway for a fine-dining experience inside ‘cave rooms’ that date back more than 100 years. Service is polished and the menu is nicely upmarket, with traditional touches – we’re talking venison with redcurrant sauce and mushroom roulade, or maybe fried plaice. There’s an excellent beer and wine selection, including local boutique brews. Lunch is considerably more casual. You can also enter from Domkirkestræde, behind the cathedral.

  2. Viborg Domkirke

    The striking, twin-towered Viborg Domkirke is equally impressive inside and out, with exquisite frescoes by Joakim Skovgaard evocatively portraying the story of the Protestant bible. In 1876 the cathedral was almost entirely rebuilt, becoming the largest granite church in Scandinavia, an enduring claim to fame. The crypt is all that survives from its birth date, 1100.

  3. Margrethe I

    Jump on board a one-hour cruise on the Margrethe I in summer and soak up the sun – and Viborg – from out on the lake. There are additional tours from late June; the boat departs from outside Golf Salonen on Randersvej. From mid-May to late September, you can also rent canoes and rowboats here for lake exploration (45/70r for 30/60 minutes).

  4. Café Morville

    One of those chic all-day cafés that seem compulsory in Danish towns. You can park yourself on the leather banquettes for a mid-morning coffee or late-night drink and everything in between, from brunch plates to burgers.

  5. Skovgaard Museet

    Skovgaard Museet is just outside the cathedral and highlights further work of cathedral-artist Joakim Skovgaard, among other artists and changing exhibitions.
