Holiday in Aarhus

If you're looking for a cosy vacation rental or a centrally located apartment in Denmark's second largest city, you'll be spoilt for choice because there's a wide range to choose from in all price ranges. The choice is particularly rich in the city centre, where you pitch your tents in the districts Latinervarteret, Midtbyen and Frederiksbjerg. The modern accommodations are well connected to the city's bus and train networks and are within walking distance of the numerous sights, so that you can easily reach attractions such as the Cathedral of Aarhus or the open-air museum "Den Gamle By" on foot. You will be particularly idyllic in a multi-storey apartment building near the harbour, where you can enjoy the view of the hustle and bustle. Alternatively, you and your family can move into a quiet vacation rental on the outskirts of town.

Travelers and Activities

Family holidays in Midtjylland

Aarhus is not considered a playground for young and old for nothing, because the range of family attractions is large. If you like it particularly action-packed, you can visit the Tivoli Friheden amusement park. Thanks to the freefall tower "Sky Tower" and the roller coaster "Cobra", which presses you into the seat with 4.5 G, fun is guaranteed. A visit to the Botanical Garden, a detour to the local toy museum and a tour of the Natural History Museum are also highly recommended. The family fun is rounded off by a flying visit to the observatory south of Aarhus and to the Steno Museum, where you can experience science for yourself through numerous interactive stations.

Aarhus for culture lovers

Those who are looking for cultural highlights will not know where to start in Aarhus, as the number of galleries and museums alone is not exactly small. In addition to the "Musikhuset Aarhaus" with its artistically illuminated glass façade, the "ARoS Aarhus" Art Museum is particularly recommended. In addition to its art collection with masterpieces from the last three centuries, it also has a roof terrace with a panoramic view. If, on the other hand, you prefer history, you will feel at home in the open-air museum "Den Gamle By", because time seems to have stood still more than 200 years ago in the museum complex located in the middle of the city. A trip to the Prehistoric Museum Moesgaard, the Museum of Antiquity and the Viking Museum is also very worthwhile.
