Introducing Århus & Around
The cultural and commercial heart of Jutland, Århus has one of Denmark’s best music and entertainment scenes, a well-preserved historic quarter and plenty to see and do, ranging from fantastic museums (don’t miss Moesgård) and period churches in the centre, to picturesque woodland trails and beaches along the city’s outskirts.
The second-largest city in Denmark, it lies midway along Jutland’s eastern coastline and has been an important trading centre and seaport since Viking times when it was known as Aros, the ‘place at the river’s mouth’.
