Such a safe city in my experience. The city is small, and easy to navigate by foot. I personally go home alone at night without any worry, and have never experienced any uncomfortable situations.

Calm and easy city. Danes may appear a bit reserved at first but studies show it’s most likely due to the fact there is no need for them to prove they can be trusted. If something goes wrong, people help each other. Blending in, keeping a relaxed attitude will take you far

Aarhus is a very cute city with something for everyone. It’s a very cultural city where you get a good insight into the danish everyday life. I was there during the AARHUS FESTUGE which is a week of cultural activity such as concerts and events
