Things to Do in Aarhus

Things to do in Aarhus include soaking up waterfront views along the Jutland coast, visiting glasshouses, art galleries and open-air museums, and exploring Viking history and towering Medieval spires. This is a city where you can visit a world of quirky museums during the day, then hit upscale or casual restaurants with fantastic food in the evening.

You can head for the Tivoli Friheden amusement park for thrill rides, games and traditional amusement park food or walk serene English gardens in the Marselisborg Slot royal palace and gardens. Visit the Aarhus Cathedral and wonder at its towering Gothic architecture and 14th-century frescoes. It's a small city with a local heart but distinct and exciting districts with their own unique cultures, and it all starts with the city's iconic harbour area.
