Explore a mix of attractions, depending on your interests. Beyond the fascinating stories and engaging commentary, your tour includes these memorable highlights:✦ Dokk1 sits right on the harbor — a modern library and community space where locals meet, kids play, and the city shows off its creative side. We’ll take a moment to explore why it’s become a favorite stop for both visitors and residents.✦ Aarhus River Walk is a laid-back stretch lined with cafés, street life, and bits of local history. It’s where the city feels most alive and authentic.✦ Aros Viking Settlement which lies beneath the city. We’ll visit the spot where Aarhus began — a quiet but powerful reminder of its 1,200-year-old roots.✦ Aarhus Cathedral is Denmark’s oldest and tallest church, right in the city center. If it’s open, we’ll step inside to see its medieval murals, grand organ, and the peaceful atmosphere that’s filled this space for over 800 years.✦ Aarhus Theatre is a beautiful old building with golden details and stained glass — it’s still the city’s main stage today. We’ll stop outside to admire its Art Nouveau style and hear a bit about its role in local culture.✦ Hotel Royal has been hosting royals, rock stars, and politicians for over 180 years. We’ll stop to admire its grand facade, peek at the mosaic floor inside if we can, and share a few stories from its glamorous — and sometimes surprising — past.✦ KØN – Gender Museum sits in a former city hall and explores how gender roles have shaped Danish society. If time allows, we’ll stop by to talk about its unique focus — from women’s history to modern conversations about identity.✦ The Occupation Museum is housed in the old police station used by the Gestapo during WWII. It’s a powerful and sobering place where you’ll see how the Nazi occupation affected everyday life in Aarhus — right where it happened.✦ Oluf's Gate is one of the oldest streets in Aarhus, with crooked timbered houses and a quiet charm. It feels like stepping back in time — a hidden corner that shows what the city once looked like.✦ The Latin Quarter is Aarhus’s oldest neighborhood — full of cobblestone streets, small boutiques, and cozy cafés. It’s a great place to soak up local life and see how history and modern city life blend together.✦ Our Lady Church is one of the oldest churches in Aarhus, with a quiet crypt hidden beneath it that dates back to Viking times. If it’s open, we’ll take a look inside — it’s a peaceful spot with layers of history beneath the surface.✦ Aarhus Is Full Of Colorful Street Art if you know where to look. We’ll pass by a few striking murals painted on building walls — bold, creative works that give the city a modern edge and tell local stories in unexpected places.✦ Møllestien is one of the most photographed streets in Aarhus — a narrow lane with cobblestones, roses, and colorful old houses. It’s a quiet little escape that feels like stepping into a storybook.✦ The Old Library is a grand, yellow-brick building that once held the city’s main book collection. Today, most people walk past without noticing its past — but we’ll stop and take a moment to appreciate its quiet history and striking architecture.✦ ARoS is Aarhus’s major art museum — known as much for its rainbow rooftop walkway as for its bold, modern exhibits inside. We’ll stop for a look at the building and talk about why it’s one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.✦ Aarhus City Hall was designed by famous Danish architects and is known for its marble facade and striking clock tower. We’ll stop outside to take in its clean, modern lines and hear how it stirred up debate when it was first built.✦ One of the highlights of the tour is the Salling Rooftop, where you’ll get sweeping views over Aarhus from above. With its glass skywalk and open-air terrace, it’s the perfect spot to pause, take photos, and see the city from a whole new angle.✦ We’ll wrap up the tour at the Aarhus Street Food Market — a lively indoor space with dozens of food stalls from around the world. It’s the perfect spot to grab a bite, soak up the local vibe, and reflect on the day’s discoveries.
