Aarhus

When to go

Late spring and summer are particularly good for walks and coastal excursions. In autumn and winter, museums and indoor attractions are more suitable.

Things to see and do

Visit ARoS and the Den Gamle By open-air museum, and walk through the Latin Quarter, the modern harbour and the coastal areas.

Practical tips

The city is compact and easy to explore by bicycle or on foot. Check opening hours in advance for major museums and events.

Getting there and getting around

Aarhus has good rail connections with Copenhagen and other Danish cities. The region has an airport, and buses and light rail operate within the city.

Where to stay

The centre is convenient for a first visit. The Latin Quarter is a good choice for cafés and old streets, while Aarhus Ø offers modern architecture by the water.

What to try

Try smørrebrød, Danish pastries, fish dishes and modern Nordic cuisine.
