In my opinion, the best times of year to visit Aarhus are the months of June-August and December. The summertime in Denmark is quite pleasant-you can usually expect high temperatures in the low 70°s F occasionally dipping into the 60°s F and topping out in the 80°s F. That being said, Denmark is also known for cloudy, rainy days that can appear at ...
You can get a great feel for Aarhus (and see most of the top sights) with only one day in Aarhus. However, to really see everything, you’ll want to spend 2-3 days in Aarhus. That being said, Aarhus also makes a great day trip if you are visiting Billund, Denmark for The LEGO House or Legoland. Or the city is also a great stop on a Denmark road trip...
The Latin Quarter is definitely the best area to stay in Aarhus. You’ll be centrally located and able to walk to almost everything in the city and just a short bus ride away from anything further out. Two hotels in Aarhus that are great options are Hotel Oasia Aarhus and Scandic The Mayor. Hotel Oasia Aarhusis a beautiful, central hotel with free b...

However, the Aarhus airport does have services to multiple European cities so you may be able to catch a flight right into Aarhus. Billund Airport:The next closest option is the Billund Airport which is just one hour away via car from Aarhus. The Billund Airport has services ...

We love to visit Aarhus to find some better and more diverse food options than what we can get in our small town of Billund. And one of my favorite things about the food in Aarhus is the various food halls you’ll find and the Danish bakeries. We tend to always be on the lookout for quick, cheap and yummy food. However, if you’re a Michelin-star res...
1. Billund
I may be a little biased since my husband is a Lego Model Designer at the LEGO headquarters in Billund- but Billund has some of the most unique things you can experience in Denmark. If you are a LEGO super fan- you need to head to Billund. Billund is most commonly known as the home to the first Legoland in the world, but another cool experience (possibly cooler than Legoland) is The LEGO House. It’s the only place like it in the world and is sort of like The Lego Group’s love letter to their...
2. Ebeltoft
Ebeltoft is a super, super cute old town just a 45-minute drive or 1.5-hour bus ride from Aarhus. It feels like you are walking the streets of the outdoor museum, Den Gamle By in Aarhus, but instead, the homes and buildings are all in their original locations. Besides loads of super quaint and colorful timbered homes, Ebeltoft also is home to theEbeltoft Glass Blowing Museum, a lovely playground on the harbor, and a hugeship you can tourwhich was built in the 1800s and is one of the longest a...
3. Søndervig Strand
You can’t visit Jylland (the island of Denmark that Aarhus is on) without visiting any of the beaches on the west coast. The beaches on the west coast of Denmark are some of my favorite beaches ever with beautiful rolling sand dunes lined with tall grass and rosehips. I chose Søndervig Strand as a day trip from Aarhus because it’s a straight shot from Aarhus and takes just under two hours by car to get there. And usually, not too far away from the beach, you’ll find loads of Danish summer hom...
