Aarhus

The city of Aarhus is the capital of the Jutland peninsula, and the second largest city in Denmark. Aarhus University is Denmarks second largest. Aarhus is both a metropolis and a village: it offers cultural activities, shopping, and commerce, but you can still reach the countryside within twenty minutes.

The city is located by the sea. At the harbour you find heavy cargo transport, small fishing boats and yachts, in a charming mix. The many parks are all pleasant, and the city has easy access to the woods to the north. To the south, the woods are bigger and less park-like. It is very easy to go for a scenic run by the sea and/or in the woods in the mornings if you'd like.

Of cultural sites, Aarhus has - amongst other options - a large art museum, ARoS and a museum in the shape of an old city, Den Gamle By (The Old Town). If you bring your family, you might also be interested in knowing that Legoland is only a bit more than an hour drive from Aarhus and very close to Billund airport (see below).
