Aarhus

Few cities in the Central Denmark Region have a history as closely tied to Viking-age trade as Aarhus. Set on Aarhus Bay, Denmark’s second-largest city has grown from a medieval settlement into an important university and cultural centre. The cobbled streets and period buildings of Den Gamle By, an open-air museum, trace Danish urban life across several eras, while the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum is known for its circular rooftop installation, Your rainbow panorama, by Olafur Eliasson. Near the centre, Aarhus Cathedral anchors the old quarter, and the harbour has been reshaped with contemporary waterfront districts.
