Aarhus Denmark

Aarhus is the cultural and student hub of Jutland and the second largest city in Denmark. It's often referred to as Denmark's youngest city due to the fact that one in every five residents is a student at one of the city's 25 educational and research institutions. The city boasts a vast waterfront, resulting in a large and picturesque harbor. Aarhus presents a sophisticated blend of urban city and charming small town, complete with inviting pubs, restaurants, and romantic spots. The charming Gamle By, or old town, is a unique cultural history museum featuring over 60 original buildings from the 16th to the 19th centuries, arranged to resemble a realistic village. Want to gaze into eternity? Don't miss the expression on the face of Grauballe Man, who was sacrificed and thrown into a tar pit two thousand years ago; he now resides in the Moesgard Museum. After your museum visit, make your way to the Prehistoric Trackway, an open-air museum of recreated prehistoric environments that extends from the Moesgard Museum all the way down to the pristine sandy beach. The Aarhus Cathedral dominates the city's skyline, with its tower standing at 96 meters, the tallest in Denmark. The Aarhus Theater is the city's architectural gem. Built in the art nouveau style, it opened in 1900 and has hosted numerous critically acclaimed productions. Aarhus is teeming with student bars and cafes. Music, art, and cafes thrive in this city. Aarhus is a well-planned city where you can experience a bit of beach, forest, or village life and meet some charming and intriguing individuals.
