Welcome to The City of Aarhus

Aarhus, with its 300,000 inhabitants, is situated beautifully in a green valley surrounded by forests and beaches. A thousand years ago, Viking ships were unloaded at the harbour by the stream. Nowadays you will see visitors, inhabitants and some of the nearly 40,000 university students crowding at  “Vadestedet” along the stream in central Aarhus.

Aarhus, nominated Denmark’s shopping city number one, has a throbbing outdoor life, which cha-racterizes the old city centre with its narrow shopping streets, cafés and restaurants. But Aarhus also takes pride in magnificent parks and unspoilt natural scenery. From Memorial Park you may enjoy the view over Aarhus Bay and have a stroll in the park around Marselisborg Castle, the Queen’s summer residence.

ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum is an architectural pearl and a world-famous museum, and The Old Town with its 75 historic buildings is the living experience of a market town at the time of Hans Christian Andersen.

Aarhus has it all within walking distance.
