Aarhus is Denmark’s second city and the cultural capital of Jutland. It’s a lively university town with a young population and a vibrant arts and nightlife scene.
The old town is centred on the pedestrian-only shopping street, Frederiksgade, and the leafy Tivoli Gardens. The city’s top attraction is the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, with its iconic rainbow-coloured walkway. Other museums include the Moesgaard Museum, devoted to archaeology and ethnography, and the Aarhus City Museum, tracing the city’s history from its Viking origins to the present day. Aarhus is also a great place to enjoy the outdoors, with a network of cycle paths and a lively harbour where you can swim, paddle or sail.
