The 27 best free museums in Aarhus

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.

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.

♿ 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.

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.

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.

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. 🧵✨

Incredible installations, both permanent and temporary. The rainbow panorama is also great fun. In my opinion, a must visit in Aarhus

Normally, im not really into gardens and stuff, but some friends took me with them, so i gave it a shot. And although it was not really big. I had an amazing time here. I saw some beautiful plants and butterflies. Oh, and the toilets all had a theme which I found a fun little extra. Definitely check it out if your in the area

🌿 Botanisk Have, Aarhus – A Tranquil Urban Oasis 🌿 Nestled just north of Den Gamle By, Botanisk Have is a beautiful escape in the heart of Aarhus. Spanning approximately 21 ha, it includes varied landscapes—theme beds, beech woods, dunes, ponds, and greatly enhanced greenhouses—all free to enter . What I Loved: Seasonal Diversity: Open year-round, the garden transforms with each season—from spring blossoms to autumn hues . Plant Variety & Education: Collections range from native Danish flora and medicinal plants to alpine, bog, and dune habitats. Informative labels in both Latin and Danish enrich the experience . Greenhouses Excellence: Marvel at the striking, snail‑shaped tropical dome and older glasshouses spanning four climate zones. They were renovated in 2011–2014 by C.F. Møller — a true architectural and botanical highlight . Warm Community Feel: Operated in part by Aarhus University, the municipality, and “Friends of the Botanical Gardens,” the park is vibrant with events and educational activity . Visitor Tips: Chill Spots: Benches and picnic tables (some with grill bases) are dotted throughout; perfect for a packed lunch or rest . Café Break: The greenhouse café offers fresh snacks, though experiences vary—some visitors praise a “fine café with nice food,” while others suggest options are limited . Møllen (Windmill): A charming historic mill beside the gardens and close to Den Gamle By—great photo ops and extra historical charm . Kid-Friendly: With an amphitheatre, playground, and diverse plant life, it’s ideal for families and casual explorers . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended Whether you're out for a leisurely walk, immersing yourself in botanic wonders, or seeking a peaceful day with the family, Botanisk Have delivers. Its free entry makes it accessible and inviting—wander its paths, enjoy the greenhouses, and pause by the mill or a pond. A top-tier nature escape in central Aarhus.

The Botanical Garden in Aarhus is a very interesting place, but what I liked the most was the garden park. An absolutely amazing park. Playgrounds for children, alleys where you can walk in peace, there is a carriage in which you can take a tour of the park. An impressive place.

Explore the world in the greenhouse or traverse the Danish landscapes outside- this is a very well-designed space with free entry! We really loved the platform in the canopy in the tropical area. The cafe is nice and the themed toilets were cool. We ended up getting free parking (available during certain hours, based on the day of the week, maybe extended for electric vehicles).

Walked out to the Botanical gardens while we were Aarhus. Well worth it. The place is sprawling and beautiful.

Always a great place to visit. Especially love 'Væksthusene' during winter since it's warm and green 🌿

Great gardens! It's free, not too big and gives a great impression of flora across different ecosystems.

We had an amazing day! It was opening day and not too crowded, so the lines were moving pretty quickly. The stairs in the illusion house and the dodgem bumper cars were the highlights (& the ice cream!). The mini gold course was very challenging. Hope to come back sometime.

This place was on my wishlist to visit while in Denmark and it did not disappoint! Whimsical amusement park with a beautiful walking path, good food and scenic views. We split a burger and fries, should have had the fish and chips instead and the ice cream was delicious! Pizza was one of the best I’ve had in a while. Would recommend and will revisit sometime soon.

So, let's get things started. Food: I got no complaints, at least... for the food itself. Man, those prices are high. Classic theme park prices here. Service: This is where I will speak on the scare actors. Fantastic! They are everywhere and will sneak up on you no matter what you're doing. Ordering food? Prepare to have a clown standing, staring, waiting for you to turn. Despite all this, as soon as the scare actors saw something wrong, they would help. Throughout the day I saw them help families with buggies, support people that are upset and guide people in the right direction. Rides: The drop tower was pretty good. The roller coaster was honestly pretty forceful, providing nice inversions and a very steep first drop. Environment: Wow! During the day this place looked alright I guess. Some good decorations involving pumpkins but it was very basic. Just grassy, that's it. During the night though? The whole place lit up! The lights were mesmerising. It went from random forest to Neo Toyko in a second.

Nice little park with ok rollercoasters. There are entertainment for all ages. Many places to eat or drink, or just enjoy a bench int he park.

This is a great amusement park which is easy to get to using public transportation. If you’re here on a cruise ship, it’d be a great place to stop at. The roller coasters weren’t the best, but the overall park was great. It’s a bit pricy but so is everything in Denmark.

It's fine, a good way to spend a couple of hours. The highlight here is the (separately paid) high rope course. However, it doesn't hold a candle when you compare it to other bigger theme/amusement parks like the amazing Djurs Sommerland because Tivoli seems to mostly only buy the cheapest, second hand attractions.

Haunted house scream pass was amazing

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!

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.

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 most interesting part were the wall paintings and the delicately made wooden doors. There were many sculptures too. Almost like a museum, full of history.

Absolutely beautiful- inside and out. Cool tiles from the 1100's.

Beautiful street, free to visit, but if you are coming to Aarhus for the vibes of this (now very packed) street -> go to Ringkobing instead.

I went when it was cloudy, but it's really beautiful when the sunlight shines on this road. The distance is short, but it's fun to see the houses here.

This is a very pretty and unique looking street. It doesn’t take long to walk around and it wasn’t busy when I was here. If you are passing by I’d recommend checking it out.

Charming little alley

Very beautiful, rustic old houses. A bit hard to find

Lovely well kept street in a busy modern part of the city

Beautiful street.

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 😭

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.

Favorite spot in town! Literally can spend a whole day working and studying in this library, the view is just too amazing 🤩

Great place for tourists and children. Nice views across the harbour with seating and cafe to rest for tourists. and lots of children books and area for kids. Can get busy during the day. Lots of university students here studying.

Wonderful library. Must visit.

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.

Lovely but small (service) museum (1 hour of reading and exploring everything), but most lovely thing is it's actually located on exact excavation spot, describing life in viking settlement, especially local one. With locations of craftsman, ramparts and how the local dug houses looked (with one replica).

Too small, no staff to help explain the place. Fully self guided. Mostly a satellite location for the moesgaard museum. The place is also quite dark, to protect some of the artifacts in the museum, so do take note if you are ever there. But generally you can give this place a miss. Most of the exhibits are in the pictures, so just save the money and buy yourself some souvenirs instead.

This museum was great at separating fact from fiction. Vikings were primarily fishermen and farmers. Exploring came as a natural extension of looking for new fisheries and fresh agricultural lands and climate.

The Viking Museum lives up to its name and then some. You will feel immersed in Viking lore walking through its halls, a large quantity of artifacts in here are in a truly impressive state of preservation. The bog bodies plus extensive captions make this a visit here an enriching anthropological experience.

Very small one room museum. Interesting info but not much to it. No guide or gift shop. Tickets are self purchased once you walk down the stairs but no one checks if you’ve bought one.

This place can be hard to miss as it's an anonymous door with a sign outside and the top is like a building site. Only stairs down to the room. It is more like a one room exhibition rather than an actual museum. Price was DKK30 but ticket machine was broken at the time so did not pay anything. A good initial setup but needs to be larger.

It is small, yes. But we spend ca 30 minutes there and it is a place where Vikings once lived. Not to expensive. Worth a short stop if you can spend time.

Web site promotes and gives the impression this place is a hive of activity. We turned up and found very little happening, workshops closed, locked doors and the advertised Czech photography exhibition incredibly badly presented. View from the bleak roof was ok.

It’s different. At the top end it’s a nice experience. I didn’t go inside the building for performances but top was different and fun

A creative hub for so many awesome things. Highly recommended to visit, attend, get inspired and enjoy this space. Check their program online.

Wish there were 6 stars possible. Amazing inspirational art space. Walked in off the street and was screenprinting 10 minutes later. Friendly, affordable and great sense of community and the arts together. Something inherently wonderful in a municipality that supports the arts and publuc access to those experiences. Just incredible facilities and technicians.

This is such a cool area! If you‘re into street art, skateboarding or related things this place is definitely for you. I enjoyed looking at all the different styles of art as well as exploring the creative buildings around the area. There was also music playing and i just enjoyed the overall feeling of being there

Amazing place! People is super kind and helpful.

I went for a flea market, it was nice 👍

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

The absolutely beautiful museum took me back in time. I loved the 1970s themed arrangements the most. We had the perfect opportunity to visit during the K7 week too. Watch out for the ducks, they chase you!

What a fun experience. See housing, shops and vocational skills from several different time periods. Well maintained, picturesque area, and friendly hosts. Cute gift shop, too, that offers a variety of options from candy and toys, to kitchen gadgets, books, and ornaments.

The absolute best open-air museum I have ever seen (and I at 67 have seen many in various countries). You will need a lot of time! You are transported magically back in time to various eras. As an example, when you walk in a 1974 apartment, EVERYTHING is there as if the people living there had just left in a hurry... toys on the floor, trash in the bins, half-eaten food on the table and stove, cigarette butts in the ashtrays.... get the idea? You can open drawers and see their junk and medicines. In the 1800s you can see the same attention to detail in the homes of rich and poor. See factories and shops through the ages. Guides are everywhere dressed appropriately and acting out their roles to tell you about life in their world. SUPERB and worth 6 stars.

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.

So many food choices! It's worth stopping and enjoying the cuisine. Summer days make the outside lively with folks enjoying food, drinks, and ice cream. Inside, there is a primary bar and another for non-alcoholic drinks, and on warm days you'll find more seating. Pick from a variety of food, some Danish but many others too.

We loved it here - great food options for all tastes including vegetarian and vegan. There was cuisine from across the world as well as Danish food and some nice bars and coffee shops. We visited during the day when it was child friendly and there was plenty of space available.

Excellent food hall located close to the main train station with so many different food options available. I had the falafel wrap from “Zaatar” and it was good. Personally the bread was a bit too flakey for my liking, but still good and the portion generous. Recommended!!

Perfect place to try different cuisines in Aarhus. They have many stalls like Mexican, Indian, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Middle East and many more. There is indoor and outdoor free seating available. The place is self serve and very functional. Must try: Thai curry, Nachos, Falafel wrap, Japanese Bao and Savory crepes.

Aarhus Street Food is a fantastic concept that brings a diverse array of cuisines under one roof, creating a vibrant, multicultural dining experience right in the heart of the city. The atmosphere is lively, with friendly staff and plenty of seating, making it an ideal spot for locals and visitors alike to enjoy a wide variety of flavors. Its central location also makes it easily accessible, whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or meeting up with friends. I had the chance to sample dishes from Japanese, Middle Eastern, and British stalls, and each one delivered on quality and taste. It’s clear that a lot of attention goes into ensuring each dish feels authentic and satisfying. From fresh ingredients to carefully prepared spices, every dish offered something unique and flavorful. One area that could improve the experience, however, is the payment system. While you can order online from all stalls on the same website, payment still has to be made separately at each stall’s counter. This makes the process slower and a bit inconvenient, especially during busy times. Having an option to pay online as well as order would streamline the experience, making it quicker to pick up your food. For example, at Wolf Food Hall in Brussels, which I recently visited, both ordering and paying could be done online, which enhanced the experience significantly and encouraged people to try even more dishes. All in all, Aarhus Street Food is a must-visit for anyone in Aarhus who wants to explore a variety of flavors in one spot, and with a few adjustments to the payment process, it could become an even more enjoyable dining experience. I’m looking forward to returning and seeing how it continues to evolve!

A MUST VISIT This is a great place to visit. Plenty of small street food cars - lots of choices. We have been here several times, and we always have a good time. They do also have public restrooms - normally nice and clean. There are indoor as well as outdoor seating areas. Definitely a must visit when in Århus.

The place to go when none of your family members/friends can decide on one thing to eat, just go to this place and everyone can order what they want. Once you order at the food stand of your choice you get a buzzer so you can go back outside/to your table and wait until the food is ready. I had been craving korean fried chicken for sooo long on our trip so when I saw that they had it here I was so happy 🥹 + you get actual cutlery and not just plastic ones!

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!

Very nice Botanical Garden mid of Aarhus, Free entry a good cafe and greenhouse,amazing plants from around to world , they are divided into small and large groups and telling what and where they are from . Staffs are very friendly and helpful. For sure you will be very happy to visit here and see all these amazing garden .

It's good to visit this botanical garden once, but you don't have to. This place seems to be one of the places loved by locals. It is well decorated with various themes and well-organized to understand.

A beautiful botanical garden with so many plants you’ve seen and others you probably haven’t. I can’t believe this is free to just walk around and stay as long as you like. Personally, an hour is plenty here but it is a beautiful place to see.

I love coming here! Such a varied, big, well looked after and FREE place! They have an awesome variety of plant species and the last section you can walk through packs a lot of fun in a cool space. There is a cafe there and gift shop. Plenty of things to occupy all ages! Parking is paid parking.

Nice place if you’re looking to spend your time meaningful and relaxing. If you are a nature lover then this must be in your bucket list . When we were here we feel like throat we were at home Sri Lanka . All the plantations belong to Sri Lanka climate planted here inside the green house . And the sounds are also match perfectly to the environment. Tropical weather with high humidity and all the plantations are here to find .

Very beautiful place full of many different plants from many different colours. The entrance was free. There's even a wooden watchtower inside and some butterflies flying around the greenhouses.

Very nice theatre hall. Went for a theatre play containing opera, and the sound quality was surprisingly good. The view from my balcony (right side) was without problems, and before the show I had a nice glass of wine in the bar. Entering the hall was without much waiting in line and I got inside within 5 minutes of waiting. Two minor "areas of improvement" was 1) the bar opened only one hour(ish) before the show, so you can't hang around for long if you've travelled from far away and need a place for a relaxing glass of wine, and 2) there was no notification of the hall doors opening (also, tickets didn't say e.g. "doors open 10 minutes before the show"), so you had to guess when to get ready by the door to enter the hall.

We need more historical performances like the one yesterday with Copenhaguen Soloists!!! Best concert ever !!!! Schumann amazing, Chopin a dream. All as it was played hundreds of years ago. Love it. Please more Copenhaguen Soloists!

We were there during the Jazz festival. No tickets needed, it was free of charge. Thanks for the hospitality, we like it very much

Went for We will rock you...Fantastic performance..Great seats in the heavens..Nice venue.

A nice place to see the people present their music. I really enjoyed the evening the Scandinavian folk music and its free of cost. they have a lot more. People in side are also so peaceful and helpful just go and ask what they have today or this week and have fun…..

The building itself it’s beautiful and deserves a visit even if you are not attending to an event. Check the calendar and you might be lucky and find a free concert :)

One of the best place's in Aarhus to enjoy a good show! Musikhuset have a great stage and some top level musicians performing.

Simply stunning! We loved it here and spent most of our day with these beautiful animals. When you arrive, take your time, be smooth with movements. Go to back of park up the hill by the water, snap some branches at the back and watch how many deer you have right next to you eating them. Makes for a super special visit

This complimentary park is a true gem, boasting a stunning collection of towering trees that create a serene, majestic atmosphere. It's also home to an abundance of adorable deer, often seen gracefully roaming in herds. Their presence adds an enchanting touch, offering endless viewing pleasure and making every visit a delightful experience amidst nature's beauty.

I didn’t see a single deer when I went to the deer park in Ireland, but this time in Denmark? Around 30 deers right in front of me. What beautiful creatures! Someone on the internet says you can feed them and I got there all excited with my carrots then saw the no feeding sign :( anyways the deers are so cute! Park has wc. And the park is close to the infinite bridge.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautiful forest park where deer roam freely! Just 10 minutes from Aarhus city, this peaceful spot is perfect for a nature walk or picnic. Great for families. Free entry—just don’t feed the animals! Free entry

Marselisborg Deer Park is a wonderful place to spend time in Aarhus! 🦌✨ The highlight is definitely the deer — they roam freely all around the park, which makes the experience feel magical and close to nature. There are plenty of seating areas scattered across the park, so it’s easy to find a nice spot to relax, have a picnic, or just enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The park is big, green, and very well maintained, making it enjoyable for both short walks and longer visits. Parking is never a problem since there are many spaces available, and the entrance is completely free, which makes it perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking to enjoy a calm day outdoors. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Aarhus! 🌳🌞

A great experience, you see the deer so close up. They literally walk past you. Signs say you cannot feed them despite people saying otherwise online. They can get scared if you get too close or make too much noise.

Went here three years ago, at that time it was allowed to feed the deers carrots and apples if you brought them with you. So this year when we came back with the goods we were surprised to see that it's not allowed anymore to feed the deers. I must say I can see why, three years ago we had walks for hours there and maybe saw two other people the whole time we were there and now it's pretty busy! Some deers will still come to you for a little pet on the head and they were very curious to see our little baby which was very cute. But we were not as popular as the last time without the carrots of course. We went there two days in a row, the first day was a public holiday in Denmark and I would not recommend visiting at the time of a holiday. It's way too busy to enjoy the park. The second day it was rainy at first but as soon the sun was shining it was getting crowded. Go in the early mornings or in the late afternoon to avoid that and really enjoy the park. Nonetheless, this park is beautiful. You have some beautiful spots where you can see the deers in the distance in there somewhat "natural habitat". With or without the deers this park is suitable for a beautiful walk with amazing views.

Aarhus City Hall was completed in 1941 from a design by architects Arne Jacobsen and Erik Moller. It was designed to replace the Old City Hall, built in 1857, which is now home to the Museum of Women's History. The building includes a 196-foot tall tower and a tower clock with a face that is almost 23-feet wide. The city hall is made with concrete plated with grey marble imported from Porsgrunn in Norway. Architectural details are completed on the exterior in copper that has since been covered in verdigris. The entrance of the Aarhus City Hall is in the City Hall Park. The park includes a cobbled plaza and an avenue lined in linden trees. City Hall Square offers a fountain and a sculpture known as Ceres Bronden. The interior of the city hall has oak parquet floors, patterned ceramic tiles, glass walls and a large number of brass and bronze accents. Visitors can take guided tours inside the city hall on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

The City Hall itself is stunning and with the tour we had access to areas that are not always open to the public. Highly recommend visiting this architectural gem.

Walking tour and tower ascending is Saturday only. But any day you can enjoy the entrance hall.

A must see modern masterpiece in Aarhus by Eero Saarinen. Do go inside and don't mis the elevators as well as well as all the fantastic details

Arne Jacobsen did an amazing representation of functionalism on this one. Really an iconic building inside and out.

We went through an international marriage procedure here and the people working there were incredibly kind and wonderful. Great job.

Unique clock tower I've ever seen. So remarkable.

This is an ideal destination for families seeking a refreshing aquatic adventure. It's a vibrant community hub where laughter echoes as parents and children splash in clear waters, creating unforgettable memories. This safe, welcoming locale offers a delightful escape, promising hours of joyous interaction and playful splashing for all ages.

We were visiting Aarhus for the day on a cruise, and The Infinite Bridge was high on our must-see list—and it absolutely lived up to the hype! Getting there took some effort: we waited quite a while for the bus and then had to walk over a kilometre from the stop. But once we arrived, the setting made it all worth it. The bridge is located close to Marselisborg Castle (which we also loved), so it makes for a great double stop if you’re exploring the area. The bridge itself is such a cool and unique piece of architecture—a perfect wooden circle stretching out over the water in Aarhus Bay, offering 360° views of the coastline, city, and surrounding forest. It’s peaceful, beautiful, and really makes for some incredible photos. One surprising thing we learned is that it’s only up seasonally, assembled each spring and taken down in the fall—so if you’re visiting outside those months, it might not be there! Despite the bit of a trek, it ended up being one of our favorite stops in Aarhus, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys nature, architecture, or just a scenic place to relax by the water.

Beautiful. Wonderful. Take the Bus from the City Center, find the Bridge either along the shore or after a stroll through the nearby forest. A fantastic sight from the Bridge!

We loved the simplicity of this bridge. People brought their coffee or snacks down to the bridge and sat on the edge looking out over the water. It was very peaceful

I went there twice during my stay and it is a must if you’re discovering the area. Very peaceful, you can sit anywhere you like. A bit less pleasant where there is a lot of people on the bridge thought. Bring your swimsuit!

Inifinity bridge located at 3 km from Aahrus city centre… by walk or car is fine Beautiful circular bridge - need to be careful as it’s windy and no side support Lovely natural clean water and can get wet .. you can relax your day at this location Free entry Parking available

A nice place to sunbathe, walk, read or swim. Enjoying the Danish summer experience ins the infinite bridge of Aarhus

I thought this was a very insightful museum with exhibitions of patient artwork and historical items relating to psychiatry. However as an international visitor I could only view at items and artwork with a little understanding as it was only in Danish. As a person involved and interested in mental health issues this disappointed me.

Fascinating experience. It is a profoundly interesting exhibition. Highly recommend to anyone visiting, and living in, Aarhus. We visited here during our stay in Aarhus and were presently surprised as how fantastic this museum is. It’s only 10 minutes from the city via public transport and really reasonably priced. We spent a few hours here in awe of the detailed history of Ovartaci’s life and artistic works. The artwork was incredibly profound and thought provoking. I came away astonished that I had not known of the history of Ovartaci and his art. The staff at the museum were also great, very friendly and accommodating. I think everyone should support this important exhibition and the causes it represents.

Brilliantly curated, fascinating museum. Extremely knowledgeable and interesting staff, phenomenal artworks, placed in context of wider perceptions of mental health/illness and the history of psychiatry. Well worth visiting. Great little bookshop on site too.

Bottom floor has an art collection (quite ok!) and the top floor is a bit chaotic collection of rooms with furniture and items from the hospital's past: a library, printing room, dining room. Do not expect to witness a real historical hospital ward.

Quaint and intimate museum in the old school of journalism. The story about Ovartaci and the psychiatric ward is both moving, scary, amazing and so much more. The museum contains lots of original artifacts from the hospital. Great displays. A small garden with wildflowers and a small fountain lets you contemplate on what went on in the mind of Ovartaci. Well-stocked museum shop where you can get a cup of coffee and ice cream - and rest in furniture taken from the old psychiatric hospital.

Watch out! The exhibition is open on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 1 to 5 pm! Right now the most artworks are in Venice Biennale, so the collection is small. It is also situated in a new building now, not in clinic anymore.

School visit including workshop.

I was impressed by the breadth of cultural artifacts on display in this museum. As a tourist, I came here expecting mostly bog bodies and viking relics, which they did have to offer. But the Museum of Ancient Art also has an extensive array of sculptures from early Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Civilizations. Would have gone much earlier if I knew they had as big of a variety as they do.

visiting aarhus u might want to visit this museum for antiek art. they expose chalk copies of famous Greek and Roman art. the museum is often visited by art students to practice their drawing skills. in the basement there is a great exibition on "passing to the other side" and trade routes in the Roman empire. though Denmark was never part of that empire though they found coins around here of that empire. intresting to walk through, takes about 1 hrs.

A fantastic museum to spend some hours.....AND is free of charge 😉👌

I'm staying in Aarhus for a month and I was looking forward to visiting this museum. Unfortunately I just found out it is closed for five weeks. Please update your opening hours

Nice free exhibition with some fun creative setpieces in the basement time limited exhibit. Lots of beautiful sculpture replica and historical information to pry at the memories from school that you thought you had forgotten. Recommended visit for any fans of Ancient Art.

Very traditional museum layout, not too much interactive stuff

Nice museum if you like ancient art. Most sculptures however are copies and not much text in English. Still worth a visit and it's free.

Fun and educational science museum with great interactive and interesting exhibits. Everything was new and working, and the staff was very kind and welcoming. Please note that it’s not the biggest museum, but still worth a visit.

I had no expectations but I was so surprised by this museum! They had really interesting and diverse expositions. From the stars to particle accelerators to nobel prize winners and epidemics. They are not scared to enter some controverse debates. There's also opportunity to interact by writing your opinion on these subjects. On the first visit I did not have enough time so I even decided to visit the day after :))

Amazing place for curious minds of all ages. It’s impressive how well structured is the information and the show cases in the space they had available. Only 1 small remark would be to give some attention to the garden and make it more cosy with extra green areas. Also to extend outside the magic they’ve created inside.

Had a great time at the science museum! There is alot to see and to learn. A lot of old and new inventions to see and interact. Also some expositions are with some adult topics, but for children this is a good learning and talking point! Very well done! Every exposition inside has English language options to read and was easy to follow. Only the planetarium speaker is Danish, but still I had a great time!

Generally a really amazing museum, through my many visits, I’d especially recommend to visit when the planetarium is hosting a seminar. There’s also plenty interesting exhibitions. If you’re visiting Aarhus, as a local I recommend going to this museum at least once in your lifetime among the other great museums of Aarhus.

A great start for young minds. Loads for children to get to know science by doing. As Einstein said "I have no talent. I'm just passionately curious" as children are. And so are some adults. Worth every penny

Very cool and perfect spot for families on rainy days. The staff was super friendly and explained us everything even spoke a couple of sentences German. Definitely worth visiting this place !

Quaint and calm art space. They had a very interesting exhibition about bugs on at the moment. I liked it. Also the entry is free of charge.

Very good contemporary art gallery currently showing works by Simon Dybbroe Møller and Natalie Du Pasquier. Definitely worth a visit.

didn’t enjoy it at all. went there during the K7 week and there was barely anything. i think all the other museums here in Aarhus are by far better.

Small contemporary museum in an interesting building with a nice vegetarian cafe. We visited amazing fun exhibition of artist collective and that was really creative and worthwhile. Extremely friendly service by the front desk lad as well, thank you!

Exhibition closed when I visited so didn’t go in. Seems expensive

Nice that it is free! Fun exhibition and cute cafe!

Absolutely loved it! Service was great and gentle. The exhibition is small but really beautiful. They create room for small artists. There are Days where you can come for absolutely free. The Café is as everything else small and cozy.

As a professional aquarium retailer I would have expected better customer care/service. After finding a suspicious spider within a blister pack, I informed the company what I found and that I was worried it was a non native species. The reply I got was, "you should buy the 1-2 grow pots in the future to avoid any pests". Nothing else, no reassurance that it would be safe or not. Poor service and uninformative advice that is just prodding for more sales. Now I feel like tropica are more for the sales than they are for the hobby itself..... I'll make sure I "avoid".

Dangerous, untested products, aside from the plants, which can cause skin lesions and kill your livestock and plants. Next time you wonder why you got Cyanobacteria in your tank, maybe replace your Tropica products altogether.

Best company in aquarium plants. Highly recommended.

Wonderful plants, wonderful installations and wonderful people.

Best plants and aqurium store 🇸🇪

Grate products never disappointed me 🙂

Cool place for people design aquascape work

I love those cozy little Cinema. They show good international movies you can't see in regular theaters and the architectural layout is truly spectacular. Go here and support this lil cinema and get a great movie viewing experience

Café paradis is a cinema that offers an intimate movie experience with comfortable seating, a charming ambiance, and a carefully picked selection of films. A lot film d’auteur could be watched. Perfect for a relaxing evening with popcorn and great company! Moreover, this cinema switches to a nightclub in the evening!

Really cool vibe, could be a bit cleaner

Wonderful little cinema theatre that mostly features art films. Good café as well!

Best Cinema in Denmark. When we visit Århus, we always find time for a movie or two in the best cinema. They always have many super good movies. Also the slow ones (in the good way). And then have a coffee or a glass of wine in the cozy bar.

A cinema filled with character and great movies. The location offers a wide variety of films, in their origianl languages, non the less. The theatres are, from what I could discern from two visits, quite different, each with good audio and visuals. This is a definite visit if you are a movie buff and are visiting Århus. It is also easy to get to by using one of the municipal buses.

Wonderful cinema with a great offer of films. Coffee is very good too and the people working there are lovely. Don’t miss this place if you’re in Århus!

We visited Marselisborg Castle during a one-day stop in Aarhus while on a cruise, and it ended up being one of our favorite places we saw all day! Getting there did require some effort—we waited quite a while for a bus and then had to walk over a kilometre—but it was absolutely worth it. The castle grounds were incredibly peaceful and picturesque, and we were pleasantly surprised to be the only visitors there for most of our time, which made it feel like our own little private royal estate. A few others arrived just as we were leaving. The gardens and trails around the property are beautiful and very well maintained, and we got a kick out of seeing 6–8 automatic lawnmowers quietly doing their thing all over the lawns—it felt like we’d stumbled into the future of landscaping! One thing to be aware of: if you’re using Google Maps to head toward The Infinite Bridge afterward (which is nearby and also highly recommended!), the app might tell you there’s a path leading out the opposite end of the castle grounds. That is not correct—there is only one way in and out, so plan your route accordingly. All in all, this was a peaceful, scenic, and unique experience, and we’d absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Aarhus—especially if you're looking to combine a bit of royal Danish history with nature and quiet charm.

The environment here is beautiful and comfortable, truly refreshing. The lawns are meticulously manicured, vibrant with lush greenery, and brimming with life at every turn. What's even more delightful is the scattering of vibrant sculptures throughout the grounds, each seemingly telling a story, inviting you to pause and admire. This is absolutely a fantastic destination worth your time to savor and explore to your heart's content!

The gardens are very nice, large fields, not many flowers though. You can't visit the castle itself. Taking into account that the entry is free of charge, it's definitely worth visiting if you are around.

Stunning castle and grounds. Well worth a walk from town. Less than an hour on foot.

Beautiful castle. Great views and gardens.

A beautiful summer palace built for the aRoyal family of Denmark. The grounds are lovely, we did not go inside

nice place. not too much to visit tho 👍

Very well thought out museum. Tells a complicated story with great honesty and a lot of nuance. You are well received and given an introduction to the museum in either English or danish by knowledgeable people. You can get an English guidebook, which can help but is not absolutely necessary if you read a bit of danish. The id-card accessory you get functions as a nice red line to guide you through the museum.

Great small museum on the subject of the German occupation of Danmark 1940 - 1945; extremely dense information on a fascinating subject; superb and engaging presentation, including multimedia and interactive elements, but also original exponats, like weapons and uniforms; presentation challenges your viewpoints and invites discussion about ethics

Really interesting museum about the history of the city during German occupation of WW2. It is well organised and you need around 2 hours to tour yourself around. The only drawback is the lack of English text scripts in the exhibitions. You can take a Notebook from the ticket office with all the info in English but you have to carry it with you and read it in front of every display. Thankfully the videos have English option.

Really fantastic petit museum. So much information packed into such little space. Really friendly staff who went the extra mile to help, even when there were grandparents & parents who couldn’t understand Danish. Some fantastic artefacts and displays too.

very nice experience! went there during the K7 week and i really liked it. a lot of informations and cool stories

Beautiful museum, but it's only in Danish. You are given a book with all the translations in English, but it's very cumbersome to use, and difficult to read as the rooms are dark.

Really interesting history of the Nazi occupation of Denmark, with a focus on Aarhus. The exhibit panels are in Danish only. A printed guide in English is available.

Looks like a big multi-purpose hall. This Saturday morning there was a clothing market by a brand called Day and it was very busy. Bike racks outside and a few street parking spots diagonally opposite.

Best vibe DJ at the 90s party!

Don’t miss the summer festival.

Nice place but crowded.

Really nice place.. both for music events, but I definitely recommend their flea markets and especially their annual Christmas market!

Often great installations in this old and charismatic building. Often as not entry is free. You can even rent the space if you have some big arrangements.

Big hall for events, often very cool things going on. The place itself is not pretty, but it offers all possibilities for setup and decoration.

It's just a very basic fountain - not really worth even a small detour.

Kids would enjoy this. It's near to Aarhus Library.

Perfect for kids during summer. This fountain changes pattern randomly to trap someone inside. It is like a dynamic labyrinth which kids really enjoy.

Water fountain perfect for kids. A lot of events happen here. It was the sailing event and there was a lot of food and drink stalls.

Super fun for the kids to play on. And very refreshing on a hot day

Cute little place to visit when with kids. During summer kids would love playing here. Visited this place with my 8 year old daughter and she loved playing running around the fountain. Very close to Aarhus station and just 2 stops away by Tram.

Nice fountain Near by is a sport playground Also dokk1 library To see a fountain is nice in a day time also at night
