Sights in Aarhus

At one time, the Vikings built a settlement here. However, human presence existed more than 2000 years ago.

Impressive evidence of this is on display at Moesgård Prehistoric Museum, including the world’s best-preserved bog body, the Grey Bale Man.

The small-town museum Den gamle byn (the old village) is dedicated to more recent history, bringing to life everyday life in the town over the past centuries. Visitors can travel back in time with all their senses.

The Aarhus Art Museum, on the other hand, is dedicated to the present. Art since the 19th century as well as international installation art are exhibited here.

An insider tip is the rooftop restaurant, which offers a wonderful panoramic view of the city.

The Tivoli of Aarhus provides fun and enjoyment. There’s everything from roller coasters and more leisurely rides to traditional fun on the open-air stage.

Simply strolling through the manicured grounds with their many flowers a treat in hand, watching the jugglers and enjoying the merriment – that’s a trip to Tivoli.
