In the olden days, Halmstad had four town gates and today only the North Gate remains. Once this narrow passage was a through route to one of our largest main roads. The Norre Port was completed in 1601 under the Danish king Christian IV. These days the gate leads you to the cosy Norre katts park.

The Wall Museum is located in the basement of the "Casa del Paso" building, on the Salesas Campus of the Miguel Hernández University. It also houses an interesting and well organised archaeological site, set up after various stages of excavation between 1998 and 2000. Significant architectural heritage sites are well conserved: The town wall, four watchtowers dating back to the Almohad era (Designated Cultural sites since 14/12/1998), Arab baths, Islamic and early medieval streets and homes, a Gothic palace and architectural remains of the Casa del Paso (17th Century). Furthermore, remains dating back from the second half of the 12th Century to the 20th Century have been recovered. During the visit, around the perimeter path and glazed walkways, there is also a variety of complementary resources to help interpret the findings, such as display panels, scale models, signposts, display cases and a video.

To bring some of the Vietnamese culture with you home, a cooking class could be a good idea. At Hanoi Cooking Centre you can participate in one of their classes where you first make a visit to the market to buy your groceries and the get back to the kitchen to prepare your own mouth-watering meal.
