War, bloodshed and power are just a few of the words that come to mind when we think of the Viking Age. The Vikings were a group of seafaring warriors from Scandinavia (modern Norway, Sweden and Denmark) who left their homeland from around AD 793 to 1000. The voyagers sailed across the seas to parts of Europe and beyond, taking control through conquests, raids and trade. The Vikings truly left their mark and traces of this turbulent time are dotted all over the world. From ancient settlements and ships to themed museums and festivals, here we take a look at the most incredible Viking attractions around the world.
