Public library
Sights & Landmarks
Dokk1 is a cultural center and the main branch of the Aarhus Library, located in a striking waterfront building. It offers a modern public space perfect for nocturnal exploration and cultural events, with ambient lighting and architectural grandeur by the harbor.
Dokk1 in Aarhus is a wonderful destination for anyone, whether you’re with family, a partner, or exploring on your own. Nestled right by the harbor, this library offers stunning views through its expansive floor-to-ceiling glass walls, creating a serene and inspiring space to read, work, or simply relax. Inside, the library is designed to be both modern and inviting, with plenty of cozy nooks for quiet reading and workspaces that feel open and filled with natural light. The outdoor playground is fantastic for kids, with interactive installations and plenty of space for them to explore. The coffee shop is another highlight, serving up rich, quality coffee alongside a nice selection of pastries, making it easy to stay and enjoy the space for hours. Dokk1 isn’t just a library—it’s a community space that feels vibrant yet calming, with the perfect mix of bustling areas and quiet corners. We loved the place so much that we went twice during our 3-day visit to Aarhus!

When it comes to the space where you can feel the best local feeling, I choose the library. I always visit the city's library wherever I go, but this place felt very family-friendly. Rather than borrowing a book, I felt like I was spending time with my family here and spending the day. The library itself was not a big one. However, to be in a place where you can see the beautiful sea, you will feel good.

Totally awesome place to study and also relax with the view. I always come here and going forward for reviewing my notes in lib. Removed one star because it closed on Saturday 😭
Tangellapalli R — Google review
A pretty nice and large library with many options for entertainment. A lot of college students like to go down there to review their work or just relax with a book or their multitude of games. There’s both consoles (Which you need to ask to be opened) and other options for games. Back in the days it used to have more classic consoles, which unfortunately don’t seem to be there anymore, at least to my knowledge. As a local I’d recommend going if you have nothing to do in town.

Apart from the fact that there is access to a wonderful library, study room, high-tech exhibitions, spaces where you can have a coffee with friends, underground parking, etc... for me, it is the most beautiful view of the sea.

Very beautiful architecture with several reading areas and Cafés. You have amazing views of the city and waterfront from the library. I can't comment the books as I don't speak Danish but I felt the foreign language books could have been a little more.

The ARoS Aarhus Art Museum is a prominent art museum located in Aarhus, Denmark. It houses an extensive collection of Danish art from the 18th century to contemporary works, as well as a diverse foreign collection featuring renowned artists from various countries. The museum's striking exterior resembles a floating red-brick box and spans ten storeys.
Lovely Art Museum with a lot of modern art. They have a significant collection of Danish artists. Currently there is a Picasso and others on the display. You can also see Andy Warhol’s art there. On the top of the building there is a Rainbow Panorama which is very interesting. Art is spread over 10 floors in the building. Parking is not a problem around the museum. Inside you can have a coffee and a light meal.
Rafal K — Google review
The building itself is pretty cool. Some of the exhibitions are nice. They have headphones but only in Danish. The roof top sky walk is fun to take photos of.
Irene K — Google review
suppose I hate modern art as most of this was dreadful to my eyes. I did like the landscape paintings and a few others but most of it was weird, bad or just utter nonsense. The two women cutting onions was the biggest joke they called art. I don’t get the rainbow roof either, so what? It’s tinted glass, for kids or Instagram/TikTokers it may be good but not for adults.
Rob — Google review
♿ Entrance = Yes ♿ Parking = Yes ♿ Building = Yes ♿ Elevator = small / medium sized The aarhus art museum is what I was looking forward to see for awhile now and I got the chance to do it today. I was a bit disappointed from the expectations as they do have 10 floors but in reality only 7-8. The highest floor has the rainbow colored glass and This is definitely the best part of the museum in my opinion. 2 levels below it as the human art which was decent. The floor below it was okay. And all the other floors wasn't worth checking out. 2 floors were for a younger audience. So if you're going as a family it may be worth visiting all the floors. If you're all adults. You may not stay there for super long. They have a cafeteria and toilets as well as Free WiF, they have a button that slows down the rotating door which is good for bad walkers or wheelchair usersi. It's not a bad place but not a super interesting one either in my opinion.
Crafo — Google review
Beautiful museum. A lot of stairs, but there are elevators available for people with difficulty to walk. We loved the interactive art area. We appreciated that the front desk employee warned us for a scarier exposition on the third floor, since we brought our child. That way we could avoid it. What could have made the experience so much better would be if they’d implement a play area for young children. Young kids can get bored or overwhelmed and it would be nice if they could de-stimulate in a play area/child friendly area. That way someone can watch the kids in the play area while the other can enjoy art in peace. The rainbow panorama is very noisy. This could trigger you if you’re sound sensitive. Best is to bring some kind of noise cancelling for a better experience. There was so much amazing art in this museum. It’s definitely worth a visit. Parking is a bit difficult. We went on a workday and there were very few parking spots available.

Walking into ARoS feels like entering a soul. Not a building. A soul. There’s this weight in the air — not heavy like sadness, but like meaning. Like emotion stretched out over canvas and sculpture. Like a mirror you didn’t ask for, but couldn’t look away from. 🪞💔 You walk past massive human forms, surreal tunnels, and sometimes... just emptiness. But the kind that makes you want to cry and laugh and fall in love all at once. Every room feels like an emotion you once had — or tried to forget. 😭💗🖤 And then… then there’s the rainbow panorama. The city is below you, silent, distant, still... and you’re walking through color. Through emotion. Through perspective. Through the prism of your own heart. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Every step changes how you see the world. How you see yourself. You start yellow, full of joy. Then blue… melancholic. Red… passionate. Green… calm. It's like mood rings for the soul. I walked that circle three times. Once with wonder. Once with longing. Once just to cry. 🌈🔁🫂 This isn’t just art. It’s emotional warfare. It rips you open and stitches you back up with neon thread. 🧵✨
Oliver — Google review
This museum is a hidden gem. There are 9 floors full of different kinds of art, and the collections never felt too repetitive like the large world-class art museums sometimes do. Floor 0 and all the installments must be checked out; our favorite was the Storm Room haha! I think total I spent 4 hours here, but I went back later in the day before it closed so luckily you can break it up a bit if you need to.
Blake W — Google review
A great museum for a wide range of art, from paintings to 3D sculptures and the rainbow circle of glass on top. The building itself was super cool, especially the internal «courtyard» in the middle with its bridges spanning across the ravine. Enjoyed my visit and will def revisit if I get back to Århus!

The city of Aarhus offers a plethora of attractions including ARoS - Aarhus Museum of Art, The Old Town open-air museum, Botanical Garden, Marselisborg Palace, Moesgaard Museum, Tivoli Friheden Theme Park and more.
Denmark’s longest church is definitely worth a visit! It’s just middle of Aarhus . Remember to climb to tower which is around 150 steps to top and its cost like 10 dkk. Than you will see the gergouse view of the city ,unfortunately my short time I could only make it to see inside of church . It’s like 525 years old . Such a beautiful details inside . I can say that u can easly spend an hour for the see all church. Highly recommended…

We visited Aarhus for the day while on a cruise, and Aarhus Cathedral (Skt. Clemens Kirke) was one of the most impressive sights of our short stop! Located right in the city center, it’s impossible to miss—its towering spire dominates the skyline and draws you in from blocks away. Dating back to the 14th century, this is Denmark’s largest church and an important historical landmark. The exterior is beautiful, but stepping inside truly took our breath away. The architecture is stunning, with high vaulted ceilings, intricate woodwork, and centuries-old frescoes that have been beautifully preserved. You can really feel the history in every detail. Even with limited time in the city, this cathedral was well worth the visit. It’s peaceful, awe-inspiring, and gives you a real sense of Aarhus’s heritage. Whether you’re into history, architecture, or simply want to take in a quiet moment while exploring, Aarhus Cathedral is a must-see. Highly recommended if you're visiting the city—even just for the day!
Celine L — Google review
If you come to Aarhus, you should come here. You can feel the grandeur of the cathedral. You can get in there for free and it was 5kr to go up to the tower. You can see the view of Orhus. But I didn't go up.

Beautiful cathedral that had organ music playing when we came. Lots of amazing frescoes to pore over. Free entry and free toilet. Read their brochure for information on why there is a ship hanging in "the ship" part of the cathedral or why the patron saint is holding an upside down anchor. The entry to the clock tower was unfortunately closed when we visited.
T.N. — Google review
Fantastic cathedral , free to enter although I believe there is a fee for climbing the tower. Lots of frescos, tombs and art. If you are there when the organ plays it will blow your mind. If worth a visit and there are toilets too

Fascinating cathedral with many frescoes from the 15th and 16th centuries (also one from the 1300s!) and a unique altarpiece created in the mid-1400s. Take your time in here, there is a lot more to see than first appears. Buy one of ylthe pamphlets at the entrance in order to really appreciate this well-preserved cathedral.

The Old Town, also known as Den Gamle By, is a captivating open-air museum in Aarhus, Denmark. It features over 75 historic buildings dating from the 16th to the early 20th century, meticulously collected and preserved to recreate an authentic market town from the time of Hans Christian Andersen. The museum offers a glimpse into Denmark's past with its well-preserved houses, shops, workshops, and windmills that still function as they did in bygone eras.
This place is amazing for kids and adults. It was the highlight of our 3 day trip to Aarhus. We especially loved the 1922 cafe (where we bought coffee and pastries prepared, baked, and served like in the original time) and the historic bakery (where we bought actual bread and pastries that would have been available on the original time). The other buildings and exhibits are great too. The festival grounds were especially loved by our 4 year old. Overall, one of the best open air museums we've been to.

Absolutely amazing place! It really is like you are back in time. It was so interesting walking around fully immersed in the past. You could maybe spend all day here if you really took your time. My favourite thing in Aarhus and possibly the best musuem I’ve been to!

A wonderful step back in times past, representing many eras, cultures and historic events. Great for the family and history buffs. This spacious recreation is thoughtfully laid out walking through the Vikings to 1970s in the form of Main Street, museum of artifacts, village recreations and country estate with authentic trade shops. Historic coffee and bakery from the 1800s was inviting and delicious. Preteens may not appreciate the historical context of Aarhus, said to be the first civilized port of the Viking era. Well maintained and mostly accessible. Loved our visit

Our first stop this morning was to The Old Town Museum (known as Den Gamle By). It is a museum that allows visitors to have a feel of the architecture and culture of the different eras – particularly the years 2014, 1974, 1927 and 1864. Even the streets have been remodelled accordingly with the cobbled streets belonging to an older era and smoother streets to the more modern era. You will see that the entire Old Town museum in Aarhus is immersive in that you can enter different buildings and learn about the history of that particular building. There are also period actors that would perhaps be a blacksmith, a backer and even a brewer – whom you can interact with to learn more about what they are doing... For the full review of Den Gamble By and details of our 5 Months Round The World Trip, visit 2bearbear today!

Den Gamle By is a very cool experience. We spent over 6 hours exploring all of the homes, businesses and gardens that have been recreated/ reconstructed. Good variety of food and drink options as you make your way through. Quite a lot of interactions set up in many of the exhibits, and the rotary phones you can use to call businesses in the town are such a fun idea.

Stepping into Aarhus Old Town is like time travel! You'll love wandering its charming cobblestone streets, admiring the beautifully preserved old buildings.

The Greenhouses in the Botanical Garden of Aarhus offer a unique experience, featuring plants from around the world within four distinct climate zones. Visitors can take a break from city exploration and immerse themselves in the artificial rainforest, gaining insight into diverse plant life. The garden also provides outdoor areas such as heath and beach landscapes for relaxation.
The wife and I visited when we went to Denmark recently. It was great. Free of charge, a lot to see, a lovely cafe and a good souvenir shop.

We visited Aarhus for the day while on a cruise, and the Botanical Gardens and Tropical Houses quickly became one of my absolute favourite stops. Nestled right in the city, this beautiful green space offers a peaceful escape and a surprising amount to explore—all for free, which I really appreciated! The gardens themselves are lovely to stroll through, showcasing native Danish plants and thoughtfully designed landscapes. But the real highlight for me was the Tropical Houses. The glass domes are like stepping into a different world—lush, warm, and full of life. Inside, you’re surrounded by towering palms, vibrant flowers, waterfalls, and even butterflies fluttering freely through the air. As a houseplant lover, I was blown away by the size and health of many familiar plants I grow at home—jade plants, umbrella plants, bird of paradise, banana plants, philodendrons, and so many more. They looked like they were on steroids compared to my little potted versions! It was amazing to see them in this thriving, naturalistic environment. Whether you’re into plants, photography, or just want a relaxing place to explore, this spot is a must-visit in Aarhus. It’s a perfect mix of nature, education, and tranquility, right in the middle of the city. Don’t miss this gem—especially if you’re visiting Aarhus on a short stop like we were. I’d go back in a heartbeat!

AQUA Aquarium & Wildlife Park is a small yet charming establishment that showcases Danish habitats through its interactive aquarium and park, featuring various native animals and nature exhibitions. The environment is cozy and geared towards children with an excellent playground that includes educational water machines. In addition to the fish, visitors can also see otters, beavers, and other cute animals in the mini zoo area. The premises also offer food options at their cafe.
A fun place with nice exhibits and many interesting and cool animals to observe. Information is also displayed nicely and in an easy-to-learn format. A couple of hours at minimum, even half a day can be spent here with ease.
Máté S — Google review
♿ Entrance = Yes ♿ Parking = Yes ♿ Building = Yes ♿ Elevator = medium size There are many parking lots in front of the building where you can park and the entrance is big enough for wheelchair users. The main building has a souvenir area, AQUA and outside there are several animals and a massive playground. The Aqua building is a bit of a let down if you don't speak danish. Most of the floors are only in the danish language. The outside has like 19 different animals and every hour some of the animals are fed by the zookeeper's. They are also telling more about the backstory of the animal. The entire park is accessible by a wheelchair but the only thing you may want to keep in mind that the sand walking path can be soft at times beEventually you will come across a big water playground for the kids and I'm talking around the size of one animal place, which makes This place amazing for kids if they have swimming clothes. One thing I don't understand is why the snacks and the ice cream shop is only open on the weekend. They are missing out on a lot of money by having the shops closed because of the kids and the big playground. Most families have 2+ kids. They have free WIFI. I have seen everything in 3 hours but it may be possible for you to do less making it debatable if the entry price seems fair or a bit too expensive (especially if you don't understand the danish language in the AQUA)
Crafo — Google review
It is not that big but the water play is very amazing. They called it a aquarium zoo but not much fish nor not much animal Instead the design for water plan is very nice, based on the environment of the beaver, which is the animal you see. Their website can improve on more info on English and also let parents know to bring bathing suits
Hector W — Google review
Go on a sunny day if you have children — then it’s probably a 5-star place to be. Most of the park is outdoors, and they have a big playground, which is fantastic for kids. Everything is based around water mechanics, so bring some swimwear! Why it was a 3-star place for us: we don’t have children (yet), so we came for the animals and to learn something. In the aquarium, as a foreigner, you’ll need a good internet connection for Google Translate because everything is in Danish… The upper floor looked educational, but I had no idea what it was trying to tell me. I found one monitor that could switch to English, but it failed to load. Outside, there is some English on the signs, which helped a bit. The otter exhibit is so overgrown with vegetation that, with a bit of luck, we saw one — but it ran away immediately. The beaver exhibit was the best part! One of the beavers was swimming while the others, including a few babies, were sleeping — it looked really cozy! All the animals are native to Denmark, so don’t expect any fancy, bright-colored fish. There’s a small parking lot in front of the aquarium. You’ll need some luck to find a spot there.

Nice local fauna, animals, and fish display. Many places for children to play, places to eat, and picnic areas.
Alise P — Google review
This place is a hidden gem, especially for anyone interested in local Danish nature. The focus on fauna from the Gudenåen area is both educational and fascinating, and the otters, racoons and beavers are so cute. You can watch the otters being fed and hear how they get there. They also do rescue work and take care of otters needing help. The staff are friendly and welcoming. While the aquarium seems to cater mainly to families with young children, it’s just as enjoyable for adults visiting solo. The eel exhibit, in particular, is both intriguing and a little eerie, making it a standout experience. The location itself is stunning, set in a beautiful area perfect for a peaceful walk by the lakes and river afterward. It's well worth a visit!
Alpár I — Google review
Exhibit for the fish is a bit limited but combined with garden outside makes it worth coming here with children. Also there is a good walking trail along side the lake. Café Dråben is where its extremely disappointing. I dont think the fault is with the teenage girls doing the cooking but rather the ingredients and how the girls were taught to prepare food. One of the worst salads i ate in my life.
F S — Google review
Amazing experience! Instead of going and seeing the standard 'zoo setup', use the experience to see what cute creatures and other animals are living in the forests, rivers here in Europe. Easy to get there, by car or train (I travelled from Aarhus by train). Tickets cost cheaper if bought online and I suggest visiting the centre in morning, around 10:00 then the animals haven't had their breakfast yet and are more active and visible. Timewise - and hour is enough, in case you are in rush, if not, then you can enjoy the park for longer time, there was a space dedicated for children and areas where you can sit down and rest for a while, if needed. Recommend!

Really beautiful museum. Didn't know about this artist but thanks to the museum, I have come to learn about him. Highly recommend if you need something to do. It was perfect for a rainy day. There's a café and museum store.

Museum Jorn is a quiet and small museum. It can be an enjoyable stop for those interested in Asger Jorn’s style. Some of the works are quite interesting and unique, and overall, the museum has a different kind of atmosphere. If you have time in Silkeborg, it’s worth a visit.

It happens to be the first day open of 2025 for this big adventure park. It is the biggest adventure park in Denmark. My two girls and their cousin can’t wait to get there. We got there around 11am and left till 6pm. It is not very busy today but probably because they were closed during winter and just back today so some rides got technical issues to be fixed. It happens 3 times during our time there. Specially one of the popular ride called The Dragon, my girls waited for more than half hour, then they had been told they need to leave as there is a issue need to be fixed, but they did not offer any fast track pass for those who waited long time there at all. In general, the park is very good and fit all different ages’ need. We had great fun there although when the rain started, it was really cold as there has no indoor rides and no many indoor rest area.

We had a great visit here! Not only were the staff amazing from even before we came, helping with tickets and questions, but the staff in the park were also so friendly and helpful. We had to barely wait in line for most rides which is ideal!! The park has a great variety of rides for all stomachs. There is something for everyone! Trampolines and great picnic facilities and grills areas you can book and use for free. The park was tidy and the day was great!

Had a fantastic day here. Went on a Sunday after the school holidays ended and it wasn't busy. Longest wait time was about 10 mins. Got to try all the rides we wanted to go on and even had down time to sit and chill and use the tramps. Recommend a visit here!

Really pleasantly surprised with how fun this museum was. I took my two kids, who are 9 & 11 and they absolutely loved it there! There are so many activities that you don’t have time to get bored. Very interactive and educative. It costs 110dkk to get in but for 130dkk you can get a season pass, so it was a no brainer! Already looking forward to going back as we didn’t have time to try everything after our 4 hour visit!

Concert hall
Nestled in Randers, Denmark, the Memphis Mansion is a tribute to the iconic Elvis Presley and his remarkable legacy. This museum replicates his famous home in Memphis and boasts an impressive collection of original memorabilia that celebrates his life and music career. Visitors can explore various exhibits, including a small cinema and conference rooms, while also indulging in some delicious Southern American cuisine at the on-site Highway 51 Diner.
Well cooked food, small quantities, I must say that it is Denmark, it is not the south of Europe, culture, but they should be faster in the kitchen, very friendly staff, that is, waiters, it is a museum, conclusion Good experience

My partner booked this as a surprise for my birthday , we are staying for a week in Denmark and we both thought it was amazing! We were greeted by a lovely man called Mathias who was both friendly and informative, he also went out of his way to help us with one of the videos so we could watch in English. As a massive Elvis fan this is a must , so many gems in this collection , it’s just an Elvis Lovers dream. The enthusiasm and excitment Henrik has for Elvis is so nice to see , I really hope this place stays open for ever! We visited on a weekday around 10:30 we arrived and had the whole museum to ourselves! It was great to have that time to leisurely look at everything. We had food in the highway 51 diner too, it’s great if you eat meat as there’s a ton of options but as a vegetarian I found myself left with a few options , the veggie burger or the PB & J sandwich or the salads I think, it’s a great vibe but it would be nice to have some more varied vegetarian options too. However, food was hot and well seasoned which is really important! The gift shop was maybe lacking some more variety , there’s a ton of books, cd’s and vinyls but not much on merchandise front like t shirts, decorative items etc. There are lots of photos to be taken in and around the mansion, the Johnny cash museum and the tupelo house was really cool also and it’s nice to have Elvis music playing everywhere, even outside! 10/10 would recommend and if we ever come back to Denmark we will definitely be visiting again! Thank you to everyone as this is a really special place.

THE STUPENDOUS MEMPHIS MANSION. SUPERB IN EVERYWAY . I was there as a guest of Benny Ray who is great friends with Henrik and Gitte the owners. The food was spectacular. The atmosphere absolutely amazing. The staff were the best. Having worked at Planet Hollywood, London at the very beginning in 1993. And managed the Fulham Boulevard in 1985 . And having excellent training in Restaurants . You will remember this experience forever. I highly recommend this brilliant Museum of ELVIS MEMROBILLIA. The shop has LP's, CD's. Shirts which are of super high quality. Please when in Randers,Denmark go treat yourself. ELVIS LIVES! Derek Lyons

Randers Regnskov

Mentioned on 
+12 other lists 
Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Randers Regnskov is a renowned tropical zoo and one of the top attractions in Randers. The main highlight of this indoor zoo is its three dome-enclosed rainforest habitats representing Africa, Asia, and South America. Visitors can explore adventure trails, rope bridges, and waterfalls while observing free-roaming animals like crocodiles, monkeys, manatees, pythons, and iguanas.
It's a really nice zoo with a lot to offer. First of all, be sure to be there early in the morning (10-15 minutes before opening). Otherwise, parking will be a serious problem. We arrived 20 minutes past the opening time, and the parking was about 60% full. They have some special storage rooms for small and big strollers, which is very useful. There are also small storage units for things like backpacks, jackets, etc, but they work with 2 kr. Coins, so don't waste any other type. If you don't bring coins along, you can still exchange money for some special coins to use at the gift shop. Be careful what you need to store and what you take, because you need to use again 2 kr. Coins, every time you open and close the locker. Nice inside restaurant, with a big area to sit, eat and relax. If you have some snacks or sandwiches from home, there is an outside area that you can use for that. There are small "games" you can play with your entourage, like every time you enter an area, you can try to find and identify all the animals. The tigers enclosure is next to the picnic area, so if you're lucky, you can enjoy your sandwich, while the tiger enjoys his meal. It's a really good place to spend your day in. That's about all the time you need to enjoy this zoo.
Radu O — Google review
This zoo was beyond our expectations, it has several species of animals that one may not found in every other zoo. It is a tropical zoo with animals from Asia, Africa & South America and many of those are rarest animal species. It has really nice playgrounds and cafes too. One can easily spend 4-5 hours here.
Sweta K — Google review
Do you want a jungle adventure without breaking the bank, this place could be for you. 3 bio domes houses numerous fish, birds, insects and animals like monkeys, Sloth, Crocodile s and many other. We visited this place in start of June and had a great experience. Familys with children will have a splendid time here. After your adventure you can enjoy some food in the cafe or visit a shop with merchandise. I recommend this place for children in all ages and for all interested in biology and animals.
Rene N — Google review
Generally good. But you can tell that the zoo is coming into its years. Way too crowed!! People are pushing through with their big kiddie bicycle trailers or huge prams. It’s also very loud even if signs are asking visitors to be quiet. Still kids are loving it and the new outdoor area is nice.
Sara B — Google review
A must see if you are visiting the area! I was really surprised by the diversity of the ecosystems on display here. Each space was beautifully constructed and everything seemed natural and wild. There were a lot more animals here than I had expected. The info cards about each animal were a nice addition and I learned many new bits of trivia during the visit.

Mette K — Google review
This is how a zoo should be! They way they build the zoo is briljant everything seems to be one. A little ledge zo the turtles dont run away but you can step in with them. A little house with a window with big cuddly cats, a cave with bats where they nearly hit you head, really cool! pro tip, if you have binoculairs bring them! To see the birds upclose is even cooler. Another tip, my pregnant wife needed a few times to sit. And everytime you do you wil discover new animals, so take your time. All signs have English on them and they have really smart signs with al the animals on them you might wanna take a photo of them zo you can cross off what you found, a little where is Waldo. We came around 13:00 and parking was really full, we had to wait til somebody left. We waited 5 minutes so not that long. We spend like 3 hours and took our time and had a little lunch. And we forget to see the animals outside… I saw that in the other reviews. Sometimes the signs on the doors are a bit demotivating, something Danisch stands on the door and it probable says you may not eat in there and pet animals but if you cannot read it it could also say dont go in here. Will come back!

Viborg Cathedral

Mentioned on

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Viborg Cathedral, a Romanesque-style religious structure, has been around since the 12th century and boasts two towers as well as noteworthy frescoes. It is a breathtakingly beautiful edifice that can easily rival Notre Dame in Paris. As an iconic landmark of Viborg, one of Denmark's oldest towns, it allows visitors to climb its towers for a small fee.
This cathedral is just plain magnificent. We visited it in start of June and was amazed. For a modest price (10 DKK) for an adult (children are free) you can go inside and even walk up the tower and have a great view over Viborg. I very highly recommend a visit. Wether you are religious, interested in architecture or just on an adventure you will have a great time here.

Viborg Cathedral is the cathedral of Viborg Diocese and at the same time the parish church for Viborg Cathedral Parish, which includes the northern part of central Viborg. The church was originally dedicated to Our Lady, i.e. Virgin Mary . From the beginning until 1440, a chapter of Augustinian choirmasters, i.e. a group of priests of the Augustinian Order , was attached to the church, who were tasked with carrying out the various services at the cathedral. - Wikipedia

Beautiful place. Doesn't have much less than Notre Dame in Paris. The icon of Viborg, one the oldest towns in Denmark. It's nice that they let you climb the towers. There's a 10 Dkk fee to enter, I would prefer not to pay entry for sacred and holy places.

A good place to go and check out especially if you have a family with small children. Lots of activities, small petting zoo, plus a relatively big map of the world where children can play but also learn the different countries, where they are situated and how their flag looks. They also have a BBQ area, where you can use one of their gas grills and cook your own food. they also have a small restaurant in case you get hungry and need a quick snack

Quite a good experience particularly with opportunity to bath in Salt bath however could have been better with more consistent English translations. Video in main museum had subtitles in places but not all the time, video in salt mine exhibit had subtitles in English to show when video would play but then played whole video without subtitles. I get the impression from seat belts on seats this was designed to be an interactive experience but clearly wasn't working as that anymore. There were QR codes with links to videos on museum which were very good it just could have been a bit more consistent for the money.

Too expensive and everything is in Danish... The pool is cool, but looks extremely small! The layout is weird, it just doesn't know what it wants to be. So many ugly cinema chairs, a play corner for kids and much more in 20m2 while horribly put together... The salt mine itself isn't even a mine, it's a cheap horribly put together theme park ride that takes not even 5 minutes of your time. And everything is in control of 2 uninterested 14 year olds... Don't recommend going here at all.

Alfred D — Google review
Visiting Fyrkat Viking Museum was one of the most memorable stops on my journey in Denmark! Walking the upper ring of the old Viking fortress in torrential rain, all the while dodging piles of animal poo in wedge boots was challenging yet hysterical! It made it so much easier to imagine the real struggle and resilience of Viking life. You’re literally walking in their footsteps, mud and all. I don't think I would have lasted more than a day as a Viking! It's fun they offer the opportunity to dress up in Viking clothing for pictures. I also enjoyed exploring the recreated longhouses. Seeing how they lived, cooked, worked, and survived in such rugged spaces was a reality check as to how times and living arrangements have changed, thankfully! The museum is small, but it’s got plenty to see and do. Their tiny shop offers Viking souvenirs, crafts, and snacks to top off the experience. As a history lover, I especially enjoyed learning about Harald Bluetooth, not just the Viking King, but the surprising connection to the Bluetooth technology we use today. It’s one of those stories that makes you appreciate how the past still shapes our world. It was really helpful to have a guide. Many people were self guided and simply wandering, missing out on a lot of the cool history. It was an amazing opportunity to step into the world of the Vikings! Fyrkat is absolutely worth it. I recommend bringing some waterproof boots and a great adventurous spirit! It's a bit of a climb, but it's definitely a once in a lifetime experience!

Viking Age 'living history' museum and one of Harald Bluetooth's ring forts. Staff were all knowledgeable and friendly (language: Danish, German and English). Two of the staff were archaeologists. Good selection of nice things to buy....

The Museum is very interesting and part of the UNESCO heritage. Ticket gives access to three places: Stormandens gård with live presentations, Møllegården with the museum's exhibitions and the ancient monument/ringfort itself. After visiting the last 2 we spent quite some time with the kids at Møllegården and spontaneously asked if we could sleep in one of the old viking houses for the night...the manager found the Idea great, they organised some mattresses for us and we had access to the restroom and kitchen. We had a great time, spending time with some staff, dining together and exchanging stories. We slept very well inside the warm part of the house that we had heated up with fire. In 2026 they will officially open to the public for staying overnight, so we were test guests and we had a great time! Thanks for making this happen to Kurt, Rasmus and Sarah! Great experience and recommended for children to experience, nature and simple meaningful ways of living.

Thingbæk Chalk Mines / Rebild Center

Museums
Historical landmark
Explore the Thingbæk Chalk Mines, located under the Rebild Center, where you can venture into manmade limestone caves and witness a unique sculpture museum. The underground experience offers a glimpse of hibernating bats and maintains a cool temperature even in summer. Above ground, visitors can enjoy an exhibit space with scenic views of Rold Skov forest. The surrounding area boasts lush green hills and enchanting forests, providing a picturesque backdrop for this historical site.
What a surprising place, we visited as a group on a last minute suggestion of "where shall we go". And it was fantastic. A rather ecclectic mix of things with the chalk mines and cold war exhibition, but it kept my son very entertained for a number of hours! And it was fascinating to show/teach him about the differences between east/west during the cold war. We were lucky enough to spot a couple of bats in the mind, and see the natural springs. The lady who worked there was so helpful, and some excellent English, along with providing audio tours in English (and German) which they only introduced last year.

Interesting place definitively worth the visit. The English audio-guide helped understand all variety displayed. Something interesting for the whole family including activities and games for children, historic perspectives of the region and history of our globe to wonderful sculptures inside the limestone cave.

If you visit this part of Denmark, do not miss this location. The caves are incredibly beautiful. Also, the rest of the museum has a lot to offer. A huge part about the local area but also news from the time of the cold war.

Jooles F — Google review
Guestsailors be aware in this harbour!! Friendly information and advice. In this harbour you can dock at the green/free sign and pay for the days you want to stay there, like as almost every marina in Denmark, but in this marina "the owner" of the berth can suddenly change the colour from green/free to red/not free and then just come aboard on your boat without even knocking or ask permission and then tell you to leave "his spot" because its "his spot". A very unpleasant encounter with an "I'm more important than you" person. I hope you don't have the "pleasure" of meeting him. This is some of the worst kind of behaviour of seamanship I have encountered in Denmark. Very sad experience. Other than this the harbour is small, have 4/5 overpriced restaurants, a icecream shop and a Meny groceryshop. My advice is to just pass this to the next marina opportunity. Fair winds to you all......except for "that guy".
Bjorn M — Google review
Super cozy spot, which is severely family friendly and beautiful at once. Hals is an amazing city with a lot to offer. Especially when the museum is free of charge and the ice creams are so tasty. Hals is highly recommendable for anyone looking for a one day trip or just a quick ice cream and a short walk.

Very nice, large and charming marina with terrific Meny supermarket steps away. We had a problem with our diesel engine and found help immediately. One nice addition would be a café serving coffee. But otherwise we are very pleased here. 45-minute bus ride to Aalborg.

Safe harbour, with ticket box to pay harbour fee. Great facilities for sailors in the guest harbour with showers, toilets, kitchen, washing machine etc. The harbour area has some nice reataurants and eating places, ice cream kiosks and pancake house within 100 metres. 300 metres away you find a large grocery store with opening hours 7.30am to 10pm (7.30-22) 7 days a week in the high season. Nice beaches and golf course not too far away.

The Zoo is a nice size zoo that has great exhibits. A few of them actually allow you to walk within the exhibit as long as you stay on the path. Well laid out paths. Plenty of parking in a grass lot just past the zoo entrance. Buy your tickets online prior to your arrival and save a little money!

Aalborg Zoo is a fantastic family-friendly destination! We had a wonderful time exploring the zoo with our kids. They were thrilled to see the impressive dinosaur exhibit, which sparked their imagination. The highlight for them was definitely the big cats – the tigers and lions were magnificent. We also enjoyed watching the zebras and giraffes, and the penguins were absolutely adorable. The lemurs added a playful touch to our visit. The zoo offers a great variety of animals and plenty of interactive experiences for children. Highly recommended for a fun-filled family day out!

A truly fantastic experience! I loved the focus on rare and endangered species like the magnificent Asian lions and Bornean orangutans. The zoo balances serious conservation with family fun; the Dinosaur Land exhibit, with its life-size characters, was an absolute highlight that the children loved. A must-visit attraction for anyone in the region!

2025-10-15 - Far from being the best zoo we have visited (family of 5 persons). It wasn’t a bad experience, but not really good either. We spend 4 hours here and was asked several times by our kids when should leave (age 10, 7 and 4). There was a Halloween theme, which was made quite well, but sadly it wasn’t enough to change our experience. Also parking the car was a mess as there wasn’t enough parking spots.

(Translated by Google) Ordered tapas - five courses, NOK 250/kv. - and drinks. With the drinks came a basket with three slices of flute for two place settings. Must admit, I assumed they were appetizers. But, no. Apparently that's what you're expected to share for 5 tapas. On request, we received four more slices... When we asked for a few more slices, the message was that "the kitchen is closed, so sorry" ... So 3 1/2 slices of flute for a main meal... Thanks for some food. Tapas otherwise tasted excellent. (Original) Bestilte tapas - fem anretninger, 250,-/kv. - og drikkevarer. Med drikkevarerne kom en kurv med tre skiver flute til to kuverter. Må indrømme, jeg antog, de var appetisers. Men, nej. Det er åbenbart, hvad man forventes at dele til 5 tapas. Vi fik på forespørgsel fire skiver mere ... Da vi spurgte om et par skiver til, lød meldingen at "køkkenet er lukket, så beklager" ... Så 3 1/2 skive flute til et hovedmåltid ... Tak for lidt mad. Tapas smagte ellers glimrende.

Visitors can explore remarkable reconstructions, panoramas, illustrations, and 3D animations based on recovered relics. Additionally, the museum houses unique artifacts from the Viking Age.
One of the most interesting Viking heritage sites I have seen. It has a museum, graveyard, village and field (ruins/outlines). It may look like piles and scattered rocks but is much more interesting than so. The shapes and sizes have different meaning. The museum has a lot of different archaeological artefacts and exebition from the Iron age to the middle ages.

It's a small and nice visit. There some interactive bits to simulate a fire in a house, also a part with a video how to make a weapon from stone and then you get to see how it looks like. Its not mandatory to pay the museum to see the vicking graveyard but kinda complementa well and does not take much time and is not very expensive.

The Viking Museum in Aalborg impresses with its view of the ancient burial site and its engaging presentation of Viking life.

(Translated by Google) With a 'neighbor' which in some cases is only an extra hour's drive away, Djurs Sommerland, this may have to be considered if you are an adult playboy, because the number of attractions for adults is limited. Price level is on par with other Parkers = too high = everyone is carrying a hunchback with cooler bag etc. Small appeal - find the reasonable prices because we guests don't actually want to drag the fridge with us from home (the ones we know) and then we'll probably have to buy a delicious salad/sandwich or the like. Then there is just one website that didn't work on the day we were supposed to use it to buy tickets with a discount, but it might just be bad luck - but hardly the day before this function didn't work either. (Original) Med en 'nabo' som i nogle tilfælde kun ligger 1times ekstra kørsel væk, Djurs Sommerland, skal dette måske overvejes, hvis man er et voksen legebarn, for antallet af forlystelser til voksne er begrænset.

Så er der lige en webside som ikke lige fungerede den dag som vi skulle bruge den til at købe billetter med rabat, men det er måske bare uheld - men næppe dagen før virkede denne funktion heller ikke.

This small hotel is very modern and beautifully furnished. Simple but to the point. I was previously in large design hotels in Malmö and Copenhagen and this hotel can definitely keep up with the interior design. The breakfast was - although out of season and no buffet - great! And the service was really outstanding. The restaurant that was recommended to us is probably the best in this very small town and the furnishings and service there were also top. Anyone who takes a road trip through Denmark should stay there.

Very happy with our experience in this hotel. Had breakfast and dinner, both deserved 5 out of 5 stars. The staff is super friendly, everything was clean and of course the hotel is located close to the beach. Great price performance ratio.

Løkken. On paper, just another little Danish seaside town. But roll in on a summer afternoon, and it hits you different—wind off the North Sea, surfers dragging boards across sand that seems to run forever, and these elegant old holiday houses that whisper money and history. It’s the kind of place where Danish families have been coming for generations, and you feel like an interloper in the best way. Skip Hirtshals. Everybody goes there for the ferry to Kristiansand, but Hirtshals is a staging post, nothing more. Løkken, twenty minutes south, is the real move. And tucked just off the main square—five minutes’ walk, close enough for action but mercifully removed from the chaos—you find Hotel Vandred. This place is a find. Small. Boutique. Rooms that are clean, pared down, exactly what you need and nothing you don’t. Bathrooms that don’t make you feel like you’re camping. That Danish knack for design: minimal, practical, but warm enough you don’t feel like you’ve checked into a furniture showroom. The kitchen is where Vandred really sings. When I rolled in, the crew was deep in mise en place—shellfish, fresh fish, the kind of seafood that smells of the sea instead of a freezer truck. A wine list that actually shows some thought. Dinner here is the sort of thing that makes you want to linger: no gimmicks, just product, technique, and respect for the ingredients. Løkken itself can get crowded—holiday families, beachgoers, the whole scene—but that’s the beauty of Vandred. You park right at the hotel, walk your bags in, grab a shower, and in five minutes you’re in the thick of town with a drink in hand. Then back to quiet when you’ve had enough. It’s the balance that makes it work. Hotel Vandred isn’t trying to be the kind of place you brag about on Instagram. It doesn’t need to. It’s the place you actually want to stay: a haven, a kitchen worth the trip, and a front-row seat to a town that’s got more character than its ferry-port neighbor ever will.

Rubjerg Knude

Sights & Landmarks

Rubjerg Knude is a remarkable lighthouse that was constructed in 1899, but is now closed to visitors due to the impact of shifting sands and cliffside erosion. Situated on the north coast of Denmark, this iconic landmark offers stunning views over the North Sea. The area surrounding Rubjerg Knude also boasts cultural attractions such as the ancient Viking burial ground at Lindholm Hoje and the North Sea Oceanarium.
Yesterday, I visited Rubjerg Knude Fyr, and it was an unforgettable experience. The iconic lighthouse, standing tall amidst the massive sand dunes, looked like something out of a movie. Its isolated beauty against the vast blue sky made for a stunning sight. Climbing up to the top was totally worth it—the panoramic view over the North Sea and the surrounding sandy landscape was absolutely breathtaking. The shifting sands around the lighthouse give the place a surreal, almost otherworldly vibe. It’s fascinating to see how nature has shaped the area over time. Luckily there was no wind, so the walk to the lighthouse was enjoyable and peaceful. If you’re anywhere near North Jutland, this is a must-visit spot. Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone who just wants to enjoy some quiet time in a unique and scenic location.

One of the most iconic and romantic places to watch the sunset on a clear sunny day in northern Denmark! 🇩🇰 You can climb up the lighthouse and walk over the huge dune until you get to the wide cliff… highly recommend!

Incredible to imagine that they moved the whole lighthouse 70 meters to new place where it rests now. The location and scenery of the lighthouse within the dune is just stunning and a joy for photographers heart. You can get up to the lighthouse for free, but it is about 20 minutes walk from the nearby parking lot. But definitely worth a visit, but be prepared to have sand everywhere.

There is great park up for motorhomes to stay overnight here, which is really appreciated by us. Access from here to the lighthouse is easy and such a lovely walk. Having been here 5 years ago, it was good to see that the lighthouse stands strong against the force of Mother Nature. It was lovely to revisit.

Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse is one of the most magical places on the Danish coast. Standing tall among endless sand dunes and overlooking the rough North Sea, it feels both majestic and fragile at the same time. The wind never stops blowing here, and the sand constantly shifts, reminding you that nothing lasts forever. The lighthouse has survived storms, moving dunes, and even an incredible journey when it was relocated further inland to save it from falling into the sea. When you stand by it, you can feel that it carries not just history, but also the spirit of resilience. The walk to the lighthouse feels almost surreal – like stepping into a desert by the ocean. The view from the cliffs is breathtaking, especially when the sky changes with the weather: dramatic clouds, golden sunsets, or the deep blue horizon.

An awe-inspiring place where nature is gracefully reclaiming its space. From the cliffs, the ocean stretches endlessly, offering breathtaking views that feel almost otherworldly. The descent to the shore is not for the faint-hearted—soft sand and muddy slopes make the trek challenging and best left to the experienced. But should you reach the hidden sand beach below, the reward is pure enchantment. The scene feels far removed from Northern Europe, as if you’ve stepped into a secret paradise carved by time and tide.

Amazing place! 🤩 Rubjerg Knude is a must-visit. The towering sand dunes and the lighthouse create a surreal and beautiful landscape. Free entry, but expect a 10–15 minute walk from the parking lot by the road. Great views and a unique spot for photos — absolutely worth the trip!

Amazing place! We approached from smaller parking place and when arrived to rhe dunes, the nature was a total surprise. Also liked that it was possible to climb the lighthouse. Full of amazing memories.
