Like any other place, maintaining personal safety norms like not venturing into isolated areas at late hours or keeping personal belongings secure is advisable.

Transport:Easy

Aarhus is fairly convenient to navigate. The city is compact and most attractions are within walking distance from each other. There is also an efficient public transportation system consisting of buses and a light rail. For farther destinations, bicycles are readily available for rent.

As a destination, Aarhus offers a rich blend of modern city life and historic charm. From fashionable boutiques and contemporary Danish design stores to fascinating museums such as ARoS Aarhus Art Museum with its famous rainbow panorama, there is always something to see and do. The city's dining scene should not be overlooked either, with Michelin-starred restaurants offering local Nordic cuisine as well as global culinary experiences. For nature lovers, a walk in the beautiful Botanical Garden and Deer Park is a must and for cultural experience, you should definitely visit the old town Den Gamle By.

Food:Above average

Aarhus presents a diverse culinary scene that caters to a variety of palates.

About me

Danish girl, I like to talk about everything. I also like to travel and learn languages. I would like to learn about another person but if you don’t have time it’s okay I am very flexible. I would love to do what you think is fun so I can try new things or go with the flow. I want to be better at solo traveling.
