City experiences in trendy and historic Aarhus

Aarhus delivers real city magic at a high level and is definitely one of the cities you should put on the radar. Here you will find trendy restaurants, cozy shopping, street art, art galleries, a large selection of cultural experiences, and you get a good mix of city life, nature and relaxation along the harbor. In the evening, good restaurant experiences and a vibrant nightlife add the finishing touch to a modern city break.

In Aarhus, you are guaranteed an eventful holiday, whether you want to enjoy good food and nightlife, shop, go on a historical visit to the Old Town or see world-famous art on ARoS.

If you travel with children, both Djurs Sommerland and Legoland are a drive away from Aarhus.

Shopping in Aarhus

Aarhus is one of the Nordic region's best shopping cities. In the main street you will find one of Denmark's largest shopping centers, Bruun's Gallery, the department store Magasin du Nord, together with the city's oldest department store, Salling, and more than 150 shops. And once you are in the main street, you must remember to set aside time to visit the surrounding alleys Frederiksgade and Sct. Clemens Strait.

In Aarhus' oldest district, the Latin Quarter, you have the opportunity to make good bargains. Along cobbled streets you will find small, cute shops and the well-known designer brands. This is also where you will find several of the city's unique second-hand and vintage shops.

ARoS

ARoS is one of Northern Europe's largest art museums and at the same time one of the most visited in Scandinavia. ARoS has also been awarded two stars in Michelin's tourist guide.

The Art Museum has an impressive, permanent collection of Danish art through 300 years and modern international art, in addition to several changing exhibitions throughout the year.

ARoS is perhaps best known for the iconic work of art by the Danish / Icelandic artist Olafur Eliassen, namely ‘Your Rainbow panorama’. The spectacular work of art stands on the roof of the museum and is a circular circle of 150 meters with glass in all the colors of the rainbow.

Moesgard

At Moesgaard Museum, the past is brought to life through groundbreaking interactive and digital exhibitions in magnificent architecture. Dramatic storytelling and first-class research means that the museum receives visits from both home and abroad. The museum has also been awarded three stars in Michelin's tourist guide.

Mosesgaard is a recognized, international attraction, not only because of the exhibitions and the museum's unique design, but also because of the magical nature that surrounds the museum. You can combine the museum visit with a walk in the beautiful forest landscape or along the beach.

Den Gamle By

I Den Gamle By kan du bli med på en fascinerende reise tilbake i tiden. Bygningene i byen er originale, og de er flyttet fra flere byer over hele Danmark, for så å gjenoppstå i Den Gamle By.

Ta en spasertur i gatene og se hus, butikker, hager, biler og arbeidsplasser akkurat slik de var på 1900-tallet. Byens skuespillere gir deg et unikt innblikk i hvordan folk levde, kledde seg, bodde og jobbet.
