Aarhus is the second largest city of Denmark and the capital of Jutland, the mainland. It has a well-preserved historic centre, a few good museums and nice old churches. Close to the city are some good beaches, as well as opportunities for hiking and biking.

The main attraction is Den Gamle By (The Old Town). This fascinating open-air museum features 75 restored buildings from all around Denmark dating from the 17th- and 18th centuries. Full of things to see and do, it really is a must for any visitor.

Other things to do include the AROS Kunstmuseum, which presents a wide-ranging collection of Danish art from the 19th and 20th centuries, and a visit to the modern Town Hall, which is a good example of Modern Danish archtiecture. It was completed in 1942 and designed by Arne Jacobsen, the pioneer of Danish design.

Take a trip to the Tivoli Friheden, a fun-packed amusement park located just outside the city centre offering rides, clown shows, spectacular flower gardens and many cafés in which to sit and watch the crowds go by. Spend an engrossing hour or two at the Forhistorisk Museum Moesgard, a museum presenting amazing prehistoric artefacts, including the 2,000-year-old Grauballe Man, found preserved in a nearby bog in 1952.

Aarhus is also a very lively city. There are many good restaurants, many places to have a drink and wide range of clubs. Vadestedet, the newly opened meeting place by the river Arhus offers international and local cuisine at the many and varied restaurants and eateries you will find here. Various cafés or clubs tucked away in intimate sidestreets can be visited at night.

The city core is quite small and most things are "just around the corner" so walking is a natural option to get around.

_______Beaches
Edit This
Great beaches all around, where you can swim, relax, take sun, do sports, etc., and in the evenings in summer make with your family or friends a real "dansk bål", a grill fire, and enjoy grilled diner and the sunset.

______Nightlife and Entertainment
Edit This
It may be "the world's smallest big city", but, nevertheless, visitors will find excitement here that is hardly found anywhere else. Aarhus is the location where you can luxuriate in magnificent and sublime performances of the internationally renowned Wagner operas. And within short reach, both literally and figuratively, you can experience the more "alternative" entertainment venues which are rich in atmosphere and excitement.
