Description

Aarhus was European Capital of Culture in 2017.Denmark’s second city and the largest on the Jutland peninsula, Aarhus encapsulates many of the things people love about this country. It’s a clean, forward-thinking place filled with arresting pieces of modern architecture. A small, compact city, with a population of just 330,000, Aarhus’s attractions are easily explored on foot or bicycle. They include: ARoS, the contemporary art museum whose rainbow-coloured roof installation can be seen from all over town; the cutting-edge architecture of the revitalised harbour area; the gobsmacking redevelopment of Godsbanen, a goods station turned cultural centre; and the medieval streets of the Latin Quarter. A bike also comes in handy for making the most of the city’s location on the Jutland peninsula. On two wheels, you’re barely 15 minutes from a forest or beach.Despite its size and provincial mien, Aarhus is a lively place. Students comprise more than 10% of the population, making it Denmark’s youngest city.
